How to Turn Off the Daytime Running Lights on the T-Roc?
3 Answers
The daytime running lights on the T-Roc can only be turned off in the luxury version of the model, which can be done through the lighting settings in the vehicle's settings menu. However, it is not recommended to turn off the daytime running lights as they enhance the vehicle's visibility and improve driving safety. Introduction to the Volkswagen T-Roc: 1. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4318mm, 1819mm, and 1582mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. 2. Suspension: Front and rear suspensions are MacPherson strut independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension. 3. Powertrain: Equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T engines.
I've been driving the Volkswagen T-Roc recently, and turning off the daytime running lights is actually quite simple. Generally, you can operate it through the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel: first press the menu button on the turn signal stalk, then find the vehicle settings option on the dashboard, scroll to the lighting settings, select the daytime running lights, and you can turn them off. However, if your car is a newer version, you might need to operate it through the central control screen—after starting the car, click the vehicle settings icon on the screen, enter the lighting menu, and find the option to turn off the daytime running lights. Remember, daytime running lights are designed for daytime driving safety to improve visibility for other vehicles, and some local regulations prohibit turning them off arbitrarily, as it might compromise safety. If you really can't figure it out, it's recommended to visit a Volkswagen 4S shop and have a technician check it to avoid causing issues by tinkering yourself. Overall, keeping the lights on is the more reliable choice, especially on highways.
I studied the daytime running light (DRL) system when working on the T-Roc. To turn it off, you need to understand some basics: DRLs are controlled by an independent circuit, usually integrated in the combination switch or infotainment software. In practice, you can try turning the combination switch on the left side of the steering wheel, find the lighting adjustment section, and switch modes to see if you can disable it. But honestly, I recommend not turning it off casually, as it's a passive safety feature that reduces accident risks. If there's a customization option in the infotainment system, you can adjust it under Settings—Exterior Lighting. I've also encountered owners who modified the wiring, but that can easily cause short circuits and blow fuses—more trouble than it's worth. If the goal is to save power, it's better to check the battery health and use ECO mode more often.
