On the far left of the combination switch on the left side of the steering wheel is the daytime running lights switch. Press it once to turn them off. Daytime running lights are used during the day and do not provide significant illumination for the car. They make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime operation.

I think turning off the daytime running lights (DRLs) on the Teana depends on the model year. For newer models, there's usually an electronic menu: start the car without driving, press the steering wheel or center console screen button to bring up the vehicle settings, find the lighting options, and disable the DRLs—pretty convenient. Older models might not have this feature, and sometimes you'd have to pull the fuse, but I don't recommend it because it might affect the brake lights or other functions. Safety first, right? I tried turning them off once, but then I forgot to turn on the headlights at night and almost had an accident, so I turned them back on. Also, annual inspections might check for them, so it's easier to just leave them on. In short, check the user manual first; if you can't find the info, go to the 4S店 to adjust it—don't mess with the wiring yourself.

When I drove the Teana, I turned off the daytime running lights: the simple method was to start the car, enter the system menu, and select the light-off option, which took just a few seconds. For manual models, you might need to turn the headlight switch, but the Teana doesn’t allow that. After turning them off, it’s harder for others to see you during the day, increasing the risk of scratches—not worth it. I checked the manual and found the location diagram; the fuse is in the engine compartment box, but don’t randomly pull it out—if it burns out, repairs can be expensive. Considering safety, it’s better to leave them on—they’re energy-efficient and don’t wear out the bulbs. You’ll get used to it. Sharing this experience to help you avoid unnecessary hassle—don’t fuss over minor issues.

Keeping daytime running lights on is crucial for safety, reducing the likelihood of accidents. For the Nissan Teana, here are the recommendations for turning them off: Newer models can disable them through the vehicle settings menu under lighting controls. Ensure the car is stationary before making any adjustments. Older models may require professional adjustment or disabling the fuse, but this carries high risks such as short circuits or wire damage. Safety should always come first, so it's advisable to keep them on, as regulations also recommend continuous use. Checking the manual or consulting a repair shop is the safest approach.
