lights and daytime running lights question V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be DaveMM on  Tue Jan 30 10:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

A new 2001 XC owner question.

Light switch, it may be me but I’m having a hard time understanding the use of the light switch (US daytime running lights).

If the switch is in the O all lights off position, the normal lights are on i.e. low beams, parking, license plates. But I can NOT use the high beams. So if day becomes night, I have to switch to headlights on, even though the lights are already on.

If the switch is in the //) (headlights) position, all lights are on (as above) but now I CAN use my high beams.

Using either setting above the lights turn off when the ignition switch is turned off.

I don’t notice that the daytime running lights are using half candle power, they seem as bright as in the normal position.

Soooo why use the lights off position? Or what am I missing?

Thanks in advance
