Daytime running lights might help other drivers see your vehicle more easily, but in certain situations like yours, they can become something of an inconvenience. There’s one trick you can try to turn off the daytime running lights on your
Volkswagen
when your vehicle is parked.
To turn off daytime running lights (DRLs) on a Volkswagen, while your car is on and in park, simply activate your emergency/parking brake.
That’s all there is to it! Again, this trick will only work when your vehicle is stationary.
Hope this helps! As you continue taking care of your Volkswagen, make sure it’s covered by the right car insurance policy. The
