Ok, so this has been bugging me, and I'm sure there is an easy answer to it, but I'm just not finding it.

I love to go to the drive-in in the summer, but as this is the first year with the Volvo going, how do you disable, temporarily the auto lights/daytime running lights. Turning the dial for the lights to 0 still keeps the lights on. Is this a software change that needs to be done? I don't want to disable my DRLs, but I also want to be able to actually have my lights off if I need to.

Thank you.

 

Not sure of the date and model changes, but the 98 S70 I had the light switch had a small slot at the light switch that you needed to turn with a screwdriver (instructions in the manual). The 2000 S40 I had the light switch, ignition, and high beam stalk needed to be in a certain sequence (instructions also in the manual). Now the 2002 V70 I have has no instructions in the manual whatsoever, guess what, software download for $ at dealer. My suggestion, unless someone lets you know otherwise, is to call the dealer. They will let you know.

 

If you don't want to do a software change - you can either put the lights in park mode - (corner lights will show), or you can pull the fuse.

 

pull the fuse? if you do that then you loose headlight all together right? even if the switch is in off or low beam mode ..right?
