How to Turn Off the Position Lights?
2 Answers
Position light switch is generally located on the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn the knob to the OFF position to turn them off. Usually, the switches for position lights, low beams, high beams, and fog lights are all on the left-hand control lever. Position lights are also called clearance lights, which automatically turn on when the car lights are activated. At the rear of the car, there is one red light on each side for small vehicles. They are turned on when it is not completely dark to indicate the width of the car to other drivers and vehicles behind. Position lights are used during dusk driving to help other drivers judge the size and width of the vehicle ahead. When the light switch is turned to the first position, the small lights that illuminate at the front and rear are the position lights. The next position after the position lights is the low beams, and the high beams refer to the main headlights.
I've also thought about how to turn off the parking lights while driving. Those things are essentially position lights, and it's quite annoying when they stay on all the time. Generally, there's a headlight knob on the left or right side of the steering wheel—just turn it all the way to the left or right to the OFF position to shut off the lights. But some newer cars are a bit smarter, automatically turning off the lights after the engine is shut off, so no worries there. If you're doing it manually, make sure the knob is in the off position before parking, otherwise the battery might drain, and you could end up stranded. I recommend checking your car's manual, as settings can vary a lot between models. For example, daytime running lights might require turning off the auto mode to fully deactivate them. Also, don't ignore the warning symbols on the dashboard when the lights are on—address them promptly to avoid potential safety hazards like electrical shorts. Remembering these simple steps can make your daily driving much smoother.
