Does the 2021 Levin have only one reverse light on?
2 Answers
It is normal for the 2021 Levin to have only one reverse light on. Here are some precautions for reversing: 1. Observe the surroundings: Before reversing, you must observe and understand the surroundings and road conditions to ensure safety. 2. Reverse at a steady speed: When reversing, maintain a uniform speed—not too fast or erratic—to prevent stalling or sudden backward movements that could lead to accidents. 3. Alert other vehicles: Try not to obstruct other vehicles while reversing. Yield to oncoming traffic and be cautious around people or obstacles, especially children. Sound the horn in advance to prevent accidents involving injuries.
When I first started driving my 2021 Corolla, I noticed that only the right-side reversing light was on, while the left side was completely dark. I thought it was broken and immediately went to check. Later, a car-savvy friend explained that many cars are designed this way—regulations only require one reversing light, saving both materials and electricity. Toyota does this to cut costs, not because of a malfunction. As long as the light is on, it's safe for reversing. However, it's important to note that if the light stops working entirely, it becomes dangerous, especially when driving in dark areas at night. I recommend checking it yourself during car washes or maintenance to ensure it functions properly. Other lights, like brake lights, must have both sides illuminated due to stricter regulations—don’t confuse the two.
