Where is the daytime running light switch for the Baojun 510?
3 Answers
Baojun 510 daytime running lights do not have a switch. The daytime running lights will automatically turn on when the vehicle is started and automatically turn off when the vehicle is turned off. Below are the specific operation methods for the running lights: 1. The Baojun 510 daytime running lights are located in the topmost strip-shaped light group. 2. The daytime running lights are mainly composed of LED light groups with adjustable brightness. 3. Inside the driver's compartment, the light adjustment can be found on the backside of the left side of the steering wheel. 4. The outermost part of the light control lever is the high beam and width light adjustment knob. 5. Pushing the lever downward can turn on the high beam. 6. Adjusting the left knob to the width light position can reduce the brightness of the daytime running lights.
I've been driving the Baojun 510 for almost three years now. When I first got the car, I was also puzzled about where the daytime running light (DRL) switch was. Actually, this car's factory design has them automatically turned on—there's simply no physical switch. Every time you start the car and release the handbrake, the DRLs automatically light up, and they turn off when you shut down the engine. Once, I specifically went to the 4S dealership to ask about it. The technician said this setup is required by safety regulations, as DRLs improve daytime driving visibility. If you really want to turn them off, the only way is to pull out the F15 fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel. But doing so will cause the malfunction indicator light to stay on constantly and may affect the warranty. I'd advise against tampering with it—keeping them on is actually safer.
Just helped my neighbor adjust the lighting system on their Baojun 510 two days ago. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are located in the LED light strip above the fog lights. This vehicle doesn't have a separate switch - the DRLs are directly integrated into the onboard computer during design. They automatically illuminate when you turn the ignition on and release the handbrake, requiring no additional operation. To temporarily disable them, you could try turning off the engine, shifting to neutral, then powering on again - though this usually doesn't work. A more permanent solution would be cutting the wiring in the engine compartment fuse box, but this damages the circuit and may trigger system error codes. Actually, the DRLs only consume about 10 watts - keeping them on constantly doesn't waste much power and helps alert oncoming vehicles to prevent collisions.
