Turning Off Headlights While Charging

[Noelle12Mar]

Quick question for my fellow 500e drivers, when I’m sitting in the car charging at night, I can’t seem to turn off the headlights. The light stalk only has 'auto' or 'on,' so I’m wondering if there’s a way to turn them off completely? Bonus if there’s a way to turn off the daytime running lights too.

If you're sitting in your 500e while charging and can't turn off the headlights, here’s a simple solution: just get out of the car and lock the doors. The lights will automatically turn off, and the charging will continue as usual. Unfortunately, there's no option to turn off the daytime running lights while you're in the car.

The 500e's headlights can be tricky! Unfortunately, if it only has 'auto' and 'on,' there’s no full off option. Some owners have used the parking brake to disable daytime running lights, so you might give that a try..
