Hi. 2014 Cruze. Not sure if this is normal or not. The parking lights indicator stays on regardless of what node i have the knob on. This is a pic, knob is on Auto, it’s daytime yet the green indicator comes on and stays that way while driving.

Does the light go out if you turn the knob to the auto-off setting?

If it does it sounds like the light sensor is faulty.

Hi…if the car is in drive it stays on no matter what mode I put it on……when the car is in park I can turn it off by switching the knob left (which comes back to “auto” mode on its own). But in drive this does not turn it off..

That almost sounds like it's indicating you driving lights are on. I'm not sure how the Canadian models are different than the U.S models but mine doesn't do that.

Canadian spec Cruze might use that indicator for Daytime running lights, too. I take it you havent owned this car for very long?

Obvious question - but have you had someone look at the lights from outside when the indicator is on?

If it's on, and the lights aren't, you have a problem.

If the lights are on, you might have a problem, but whether that is a failed sensor or a legal requirement I don't know.

]All cars manufactured since 1989 in Canada are required to have running lights, so it is rare to find a vehicle without them. The lights, which illluminate the headlights, aren't for lighting up the road ahead but for increasing a car's visibility to others during the day
