    I'm pretty sure it tells you in the owners manual - I believe there are 3 settings - I turned mine off as soon as I got the car. When you turn the screw you'll feel it stop at intervals.

    You are right it does tell you in the handbook even tells you what position does what.

    Why turn it off? It was designed for a purpose. Other road users can see you coming.
    Extra support with insurance claims " I had my dayglow lights on...."

    i'm runnin a 51-plate s60 with no daytime lights, got it second hand and when i got it there were no daytime lights. couple of weeks later i found that it was because there were no fuses in the sockets for the daytime lights.

    Were'nt they meant for the Swedish market ! (think its the law over there to have lights on all the time?....I might be wrong!)
    So just easier to put a little switch in as well, so other countrys can turn them off or on or off or what ever takes your fancy....!!lol

    I'm led to believe that on phase 2 V70's, the dealer can set the lights to your own preferences. Is this true or is it just a case of pulling a fuse?

    Unfortunately, you need to see your local dealer to have them disable the V/S40 DRL
