Daytime driving lights.

[GTI Leo]

Hi guys recently bought a VW Polo Gti, car is great no complaints.
However and yes it sounds silly, i have no idea how to keep my lights off during the day.
Start the car up and they are fully on, only thing i can do is only leave me parkers on.

I'm assuming these have to do with day time driving lights,
(I didn't get the daytime led's option included)
so how can i turn them off???

Hey Leo, yours wouldn't happen to be a red 3 door that would have been driving up the highway towards dandenong from hastings way on last sunday would it?

Anyway, your headlight switch is on the right hand side of your instruments, maybe turn that to off? If indeed you do have it set to off, head back to the dealer

Nope Polo GTI always has lights on. it's a new VW thing that they're rolling out across the range. as you've mentioned if you turn your lights to parkers, you'll actually have less headlight than when they're 'off'. afaik, that's all you can do.

Check the manual, I have the 6R GTI and it's just something you do with the indicators IIRC from the owner's manual. It's down stairs and I cbf going down. Lol, sorry, maybe later.

Have you gone through the MFD options?

[JaneAusten]

It's not in the MFD, trust me the manual says something about it, I'll check after dinner, but surely you have a copy too if you have the car.

Hi Gavs, nah sorry mate wasn't me, must be someone else with their lights off.

Hi Jane yeah went through the book again and there is a way to switch them off.
Something about holding the indicator handle down and back and the headlight icon should flash thus turning off the daytime lights.
Not sure what I am doing wrong, i can't seem to turnm them off.
Going to try again tomorrow, hopefully i'm just doing something wrong.

Yeah mate I just checked, pg. 93. I tried "method 2" as well and can't seem to get it working. This is some voodoo.

Btw, another GTI owner, congrats!

For my Golf GTI, to turn them off (from memory)
Pull indicator stalk down and then towards steering wheel, hold till you hear a beep,
Turn ignition on for 3 seconds then off again, sounds like same thing with the Polo from what Jane Austin said, see if this works
