  • Unlike the standard DRLs, these DRLs require the use of the automatic light position to operate.

    My 2017 explorer does the opposite. I can’t shut off the running lights. When the car is parked and running they won’t shut off.

      My 2017 Focus was as you state. I could not disable the DRL at all. My 2018 Ford Escape, however, functions like the Explorer in this video. I also have the ability to disable DRL in my settings menu on the dash display.

    Mine is 2016 model but I can’t see the daytime running check box in the lights setting.
    How do I only turn on the running light when switch to auto?

      Your vehicle may have the standard daytime running lights as opposed to configurable. If that's the case, they will be on in any light position other than on whenever the transmission is out of park.

    I want the other way around in Canada, when it is in the parking and when we on the car it should switch on even though it is not set in the auto position. It light should on when you turn on the car. What to do with it?

    • @BusMaster99

      Nothing, it's intentional for the DRLs to be off whenever the car is in park.

      Easy, turn on the lights, press the fog light button, then turn the light switch to AUTO. Then they will come on whenever the autolamp sensor turns on the headlights. If you turn the light switch to OFF after the fog lights have been turned on, they will turn off and you will have to turn them back on the next time your headlights are on.

Try seeing if you have that and disable it. Then shift your transmission to neutral (make sure parking brake is applied at all times when parked) and check to make sure the daytime running lights are on.
