Completely Turning Off Your Nissan Vehicle’s Headlights

If you’re sick of the daytime running lights being on while you have your car parked, then we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to shut them off completely.

  1. Make sure your Nissan vehicle is completely off

  2. Turn the headlights knob on the steering column stalk to the off position

  3. Apply the parking brake/emergency brake

    Look for a pedal on the left side, just below the dash with (P) symbol on it.

  4. Start up your Nissan vehicle

  5. The headlights, including the daytime running lights, will stay off for as long as the parking brake is applied

    Warning: Don’t try to drive while the parking brake is on!

Which Nissan Vehicles Will This Work On?

This process will work on any Nissan vehicle with daytime running lights. Daytime running lights may be annoying in certain circumstances, but they are an important safety feature, especially while driving. Not only do they help you see in less-than-ideal conditions, but they help other drivers see your vehicle, which is very important. That’s why they can only be turned off while the parking brake is applied.

Maybe this fix didn’t work? Or perhaps your headlights won’t turn on at all? Schedule a service appointment at Palm Springs Nissan. Our Service team can get your Nissan vehicle fixed in no time. And be sure to check out our Service Coupons before you stop by.
