2021 Levin can turn off the daytime running lights. The relevant introduction of the 2021 Levin is as follows: Introduction 1: The Levin is a compact sedan under Toyota, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4640 mm, 1780 mm, and 1455 mm respectively. The Levin uses two engines, one is a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.2L turbocharged engine. The model equipped with the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine is the hybrid version. Introduction 2: The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine of the Levin has a maximum power of 98 horsepower and a maximum torque of 142 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed is 3600 rpm. This engine is equipped with VVT-i technology and multi-point fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor matched with this engine has a maximum power of 53 kW and a maximum torque of 163 Nm. Introduction 3: The 1.2L turbocharged engine of the Levin has a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 185 Nm.

I drive a 2021 Corolla and have specifically researched this issue. The daytime running lights automatically illuminate when the vehicle starts, and the factory design indeed doesn't provide a physical shut-off button. However, some owners have tried special methods: like disconnecting the negative battery terminal and reconnecting it, or using diagnostic tools to enter engineering mode for adjustments. But such approaches easily trigger fault codes and may affect other electronic components. Last year I tried turning them off once, which resulted in three warning lights popping up on the dashboard - had to rush to the dealership to clear the fault codes. Actually, these running lights consume very little power. The EU mandates their installation precisely to improve daytime driving safety rates, so I recommend getting accustomed to this design.
