When I was driving the Avalon before, I also thought about how to turn off the daytime running lights. Later, I asked a mechanic at the repair shop, and he said this car can't be turned off using the steering wheel buttons, unlike some cars that allow you to disable it in the settings menu. If you really want to turn it off, you need to use professional equipment to connect to the car's computer and reprogram it, or go to a 4S shop and have a technician modify the parameters with a diagnostic tool. But he warned me that turning off the daytime running lights might make your car less noticeable to other drivers, especially in cloudy or rainy weather, increasing the risk of accidents. After thinking it over, I decided safety comes first and left them on—having them lit during the day actually helps others notice you faster on the road. If you still want to make the change, keep in mind that it might cause issues during annual inspections, since tampering with safety features isn’t advisable.
