Thank you everybody for your responses. Parking break while in park == DRLs off.
Is there a method to disable the DRLs while the car is running? People in the parking lot at work will wait for me to go because they notice my car is turned on. Is there any way to turn them off without shutting down the car?
So if you are parked, turn the lights from auto to off position and set the parking brake. That will turn them off. I started doing this when I park to eat lunch at work.
