2 Answers
Daytime Running Light is the meaning of the DRL light being on. Additional information: 1. Introduction to Dongfeng Dolika: Dongfeng Dolika is a long-distance logistics light truck launched by Dongfeng Automobile Co., Ltd. in 2001, evolved from the first 3-ton light truck produced by Dongfeng in 1995. As a mid-to-high-end light truck brand of Dongfeng, Dongfeng Dolika is positioned as the 'Pioneer of All-round Logistics', integrating advanced technologies from Nissan and other sources, making it an all-round product developed by Dongfeng Light Truck for the logistics market. 2. Vehicle introduction: Dongfeng Dolika currently has six main products including D5 and D6 blue-plate light trucks, D7 and D8 yellow-plate light trucks, and D9 and D12 yellow-plate medium trucks, with vehicle lengths ranging from 5m to 12m. It can meet various transportation needs such as green channel, express delivery, less-than-truckload, supermarkets, cold chain, building materials, agricultural products, etc., achieving multi-dimensional coverage across all industries, scenarios, road conditions, and values.
When driving a Dongfeng Dolika, the DRL light suddenly comes on, which usually indicates that the daytime running light system is working or there is a potential fault. From my experience, the most common causes are a burnt-out or loose bulb, especially after long-distance driving where vibrations worsen contact issues; or an electrical circuit fault, such as a blown fuse or aging wiring harness causing a short circuit. Additionally, sensor failure or control module abnormalities may also trigger the light, which can affect daily driving safety, especially in low-light conditions. If the light stays on but the lamp doesn’t illuminate, it suggests the system may have failed. I recommend first checking the bulb and fuse locations—usually marked in the manual. If the issue persists, take it to a repair shop for a technician to diagnose with specialized tools to avoid problems on the road. Don’t forget, regular truck maintenance can reduce such incidents, including cleaning lamp sockets to prevent oxidation. This also benefits overall vehicle condition, as truck durability relies on attention to detail.
