2 Answers
Teana's daytime running lights can be turned off. Method to turn off: The way to turn off the Teana's daytime running lights is to press the switch located on the far left of the combination switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Pressing it once will turn off the lights. The purpose of daytime running lights is to make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Installation location: Daytime running lights should be installed in a place where the temperature does not exceed 80 degrees and is not prone to water accumulation. The lights must meet basic brightness requirements but should not be too bright to avoid disturbing others. Daytime running lights are different from regular low-beam headlights; they are specifically designed for daytime driving illumination. Daytime running lights using LED technology further improve energy efficiency, consuming only 10% of the energy used by regular low-beam headlights.
I've been driving my Teana for several years and always found the daytime running lights (DRLs) quite convenient. They automatically turn on during the day to enhance driving safety, though some people might want to turn them off to save power or reduce visual fatigue. Most Teana models allow disabling DRLs, but the specific procedure depends on your vehicle's year. For newer versions, you can typically adjust it through the infotainment screen: After starting the car, navigate to the menu, find the lighting options, and toggle the DRL switch. However, I don't recommend frequently turning them off, as research shows DRLs can reduce accident risks by over 20%, making your car more visible to others, especially in rain or low-light conditions. If the lights remain on after disabling, it might indicate a system glitch or fuse issue. Just check your lighting settings during routine maintenance.
