Does the Levin have daytime running lights?
2 Answers
All currently available models of the Levin are equipped with daytime running lights (DRLs). Daytime running lights are a special type of automotive lighting that automatically turns on when the engine starts, regardless of whether it's day or night. After dark, when the driver manually activates the regular headlights, the DRLs automatically turn off. Here's some information about daytime running lights: DRLs, also known as daytime running lamps, are installed on both sides at the front of the vehicle to signal its presence to oncoming traffic during daylight hours. The purpose of DRLs is to make the vehicle more visible to others during daytime driving - their function isn't to help the driver see the road, but rather to alert others that a vehicle is approaching.
I've been driving my Levin for over a year now, and the daytime running lights have been consistently on, which makes me feel particularly secure. They're LED and automatically turn on when the engine starts, making your car more visible to others during the day and significantly reducing rear-end collisions. I remember driving in fog once, and the lights illuminated everything clearly, making it much safer than my old car. Toyota has done a great job with safety features; models from 2021 onwards mostly come with them as standard. If you're buying a used or base model, it's best to check whether it includes daytime running lights. I also recommend occasionally cleaning the light covers to prevent dust from blocking the light, ensuring the brightness doesn't diminish.
