How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on the Sylphy?
2 Answers
First, enter the car and press the brake pedal with your right foot. Then insert the key into the ignition switch near the steering wheel and turn it slightly to power on the car. Turn the key again to start the engine. At this point, all dashboard lights will illuminate for a few seconds while the car performs a self-check. Locate the headlight knob on the car. Press and rotate the knob forward one position to the parking light setting, which will turn on the parking lights. Once the Sylphy's headlights are turned on, the constantly illuminated daytime running lights will automatically turn off.
Having run an auto repair shop for years, I've encountered many car owners asking how to turn off the daytime running lights (DRLs) on their Nissan Sylphy. In fact, most DRLs are designed to stay on automatically, primarily to enhance daytime driving safety and reduce accident risks, so manufacturers generally don't recommend disabling them. However, if you really want to turn them off, it depends on the specific model year. A typical method is to sit in the driver's seat, start the car without pressing the accelerator to ignite, then use the button menu on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the lighting options in the settings. Look for 'Daytime Running Lights' or a similar entry and try pressing the off button directly. If this doesn't work, the system might be locked, requiring you to refer to the owner's manual for specific steps or visit a dealership to have a professional use a computer to reprogram and disable it. I must warn that tampering with the wiring yourself could trigger fault codes, affect the warranty, or even violate traffic regulations. Safety comes first, so it's best to keep them on.
