The lighting controls for the Corolla are all integrated into the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. The lever can be rotated. Turning the knob forward one notch turns on the parking lights. Then, continue rotating forward to turn on the low beams. With the low beams on, push the entire lever forward to activate the high beams. To turn off the high beams, simply pull the lever back to its original position.

Forgetting to turn off the lights while driving is a big no-no, especially for cars like the Toyota Corolla. If the lights are left on when the engine is off, the battery could be drained overnight, leading to troublesome towing expenses. Turning off the lights is simple—just locate the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel, find the knob at the top, and gently twist it to the "Off" position. Most Corollas come with an automatic headlight system; if set to "Auto" mode, the lights will turn off automatically when the engine is shut off based on ambient light conditions. However, in manual mode, you’ll still need to twist the knob. Having driven a Corolla for years, I recommend always checking the knob’s position to avoid surprises. The car is equipped with a light sensor that keeps the lights off in bright environments and turns them on in the dark, making the design very user-friendly. Still, developing good habits to protect the electrical system is crucial.

Hey, newbie driving a Corolla, don't worry about turning off the lights—it's super easy! After you sit in the driver's seat, look for the thin lever on your left. Just twist the knob at the top with your fingers and turn it to 'Off.' Many Corolla models come with automatic lights—if you've set it to 'Auto,' the lights will turn off automatically when you shut off the engine, so no need to stress. Still, it's best to glance at the knob before starting the car to make sure it's not left on—I've had friends forget, and their battery died, ruining their whole day. The Corolla's light controls are super user-friendly, with no complicated buttons. It takes just seconds to handle, and driving with your lights on for safety gives extra peace of mind.

To turn off the Toyota Corolla's headlights, simply rotate the control stalk knob to the "Off" position, typically located on the left-hand stalk near the steering wheel. For Corollas equipped with automatic headlights, if the knob is set to "Auto," the lights will automatically turn off when the engine is shut off; in manual mode, they must be switched off manually. Occasionally, lights staying on may result from sensor misjudgment or incorrect settings—just adjust the knob slightly to resolve this. The Corolla's lighting system integrates light detection, generally requiring no additional steps, thus protecting the battery and preventing nighttime driving hazards.
