Is there a way to turn off the daylight running light while parked and in Ready mode?

    When I clean the car, I like to listen to music and with the car in Ready mode, the daylight running light are on. On previous car, putting the handbrake turns them off but this doesn't work on the Prime. So, is there another way? Surely there is one otherwise people would throw a fit in a drive-in theater lol.

    I believe you can not do it in Canada. In the US you just turn the left stalk to DRL-OFF.

    I guess no drive-in for us with the Prius then, unless I put in in Accessories and carry a booster :(

    I think the secret is to avoid using the 'READY'.

    Which drains the puny 12V battery when not in Ready.

    But if you want to avoid the running lights coming on. What else can you do short of pulling fuses?

    Wasn't there a thing about the DRL only turning on when you release the parking brake after going READY?

    Maybe I imagined it.

    That is the case for the European G5. Only helps in daylight though, because at night you're then facing the automatic headlights, for which there's no OFF.

    I guess nothing, but in all my previous cars before this one, putting the emergency brake on while parked turned off the running daylight.
