Arrow Starting the car without all the lights

In case I miss this in the owner's manual.

Is there a way to start the car without the DRL or all lights on? I don't mind (would want the DRL on) if I'm driving or shift out of Park. Since I have auto lights, everything comes on as soon as I fire up the engine.

You could put on the parking lights, just before you start the car, then once it's started, flick it down below auto, & their off....

Or you could pull the DRL fuse, if you don't like those...

if you have the e-brake on the lights shouldnt come on when you start the car

The automatic lights come on when I turn on the car at night, but the DRL's would not turn on during the day.

the auto lights come on with my ebrake up, but like that one guy said, just put the running lights on, start the car, and switch the autolights off

my headlights aren't on till the e-brake is down... I just reach up and flick them off if I want them off...

I do hate the winter time though... the sun never is intense enough in the mornings to get the photo cell to register and turn the lights off... so my DIC & radio are all blacked out...

That's me. I just hoping there is a way to program it.
