How to turn off the daytime running lights on the Vision X6?

[BennettLee]

The method to turn off the daytime running lights on the Vision X6 is: The Vision X6 does not have a physical switch for the daytime running lights. The lights automatically turn off when the engine is shut off and turn on when the engine is started. Taking the 2020 Vision X6 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4546mm, width 1834mm, height 1715mm, wheelbase 2661mm, fuel tank capacity 55l, luggage compartment capacity 1735l, and curb weight 1550kg. The 2020 Vision X6 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 141PS, maximum power of 104kW, maximum torque of 235Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I remember I also wondered how to turn off the daytime running lights on the Geely Vision X6. As a veteran owner, I have to remind you that these lights are designed to stay on all the time—they automatically activate when you start the car, and the manufacturer never intended for them to be completely turned off. However, I did try looking for lighting options in the vehicle settings. Some versions allow you to disable them. The specific steps are: after starting the car, press the MENU button on the center console → find the lighting settings → daytime running lights option → select "off." If your model doesn’t have this feature, never try pulling fuses or disconnecting wires yourself. Last time, a friend of mine messed around and burned out a module, which ended up disabling the headlights entirely. If the lights are too bright, applying a light-colored tint film is safer than forcing them off. If all else fails, ask the 4S store if they offer any factory-approved modification solutions—at least those won’t damage the wiring.

As someone who has modified car lights three times, I must say it's quite difficult to completely turn off the daytime running lights on the Geely Vision X6. In principle, they're connected to the ignition wire and power on as soon as the car starts. I've checked by removing the fuse box - pulling out that 10-amp F30 fuse does turn off the lights, but it triggers a fault code on the dashboard and may affect the automatic headlight function long-term. For temporary solutions, you can park in P gear with the handbrake on, then restart the engine - the lights won't come on for about ten seconds. Post-2018 models come with a light sensor system that automatically dims the daytime running lights by half when it gets dark, so they're actually not glaring when on. If you really want to force them off, you could buy an OBD cable to access engineering mode, but be aware this might void your warranty.

We were discussing this in the car owners' group last week. The root cause of the Geely Vision X6's daytime running lights (DRLs) being unswitchable lies in the ECU programming. To permanently disable them, you'd need to modify the underlying code. I know some people use diagnostic tools to access the BMC module and change the DRL_FUNCTION parameter to 'Disabled', but that's beyond most regular owners. Actually, since the 2021 model year, these lights automatically brighten during daytime and dim at night, which already addresses the glare issue. If you really need to manually turn them off, here's how: After parking and turning off the engine, immediately turn the key to the ON position (without starting), then hold the lock button for five seconds. This will turn off all lights for fifteen minutes - useful for car washing. Just don't do this repeatedly as it may drain your battery.
