How to Turn On Daytime Running Lights for Cars
2 Answers
Here are the steps to turn on daytime running lights for cars: 1. There is one LED daytime running light on each side at the bottom of the bumper. Turn on the AUTO mode of the headlights to switch them on or off. The condition for turning them on is that it must be daytime (with sufficient brightness; they cannot be turned on at night under any circumstances) and the vehicle must be turned off for it to take effect. 2. Turn the key to the power-on state (note: do not press the brake). After powering on, find the light control settings in the vehicle settings. Upon entering, you will see the option for daytime running lights. First, check if it shows "Off." If so, press the OK button on the right side of the steering wheel to switch it to "On." Then, start the vehicle again, and you will see the daytime running lights on both sides illuminated when standing in front of the car.
As a young person who enjoys weekend road trips, I'd like to share my experience with activating daytime running lights (DRLs). They usually work automatically: the lights turn on by themselves as soon as you start the engine, which is very convenient since no manual operation is needed. If they don't illuminate, it might be because the setting is turned off. In that case, just navigate to the lighting options in the steering wheel or central console menu and check the DRL option. I've tried this method with my Volkswagen. Additionally, enabling DRLs is crucial as they significantly improve your vehicle's visibility in daylight, reducing rear-end collisions. Most modern cars support this automatic feature, but if you drive an older model, you may need to consult the owner's manual or visit a repair shop. I've found that paying attention to these small details makes driving both safer and more hassle-free. Overall, in daily use, they activate instantly when you start the engine – simple and quick.
