The Tayron does not have a separate switch for its ambient lighting. It automatically turns on when the headlights are activated, and its brightness can be adjusted via the central control panel. Setting the brightness to 0 effectively turns it off. The Tayron is a mid-size SUV produced by FAW-, with body dimensions of 4590mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1660mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The front fascia of the Tayron boasts a horizontal slat grille, LED headlights on both sides, and is powered by a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

On the day I picked up my car, I specifically studied the ambient lighting settings of the Tayron. At the bottom menu of the central control screen, find the vehicle settings icon, click into the interior lighting option, and you will see the ambient light switch. You can adjust the brightness by sliding the control bar, with over thirty colors to choose from. It's recommended to set it brighter during the day and dimmer at night for more comfort. I also discovered that different driving modes trigger color changes: blue for economy mode and automatic switch to red for sport mode. The lighting is installed on the door panels and the central console, providing even and non-glaring illumination during night highway drives, even outperforming the effect of my friend's luxury brand model.

Turning on the Tayron's ambient lighting is quite simple, I'm used to activating it as soon as I get in the car. Access the infotainment main menu via the button on the right side of the steering wheel, then select the interior lighting section in settings. Besides the master switch, you can customize zonal colors - for instance, setting the center console to cool tones while using warm lighting for door handles. The brightness ranges from 20% to 100%, with around 40% being most eye-friendly. Note for owners who've installed decorative trim: overly thick stickers may obstruct the light strips and diminish the effect. The auto-save feature after setting makes it very convenient, even a tech novice like me can operate it effortlessly.

You can operate it directly from the central control screen: Vehicle Settings > Lighting > Ambient Light On. It supports single-color or multi-color gradient modes, with brightness controlled by sliding. The design that automatically dims after fifteen minutes of activation is very user-friendly, as tested. The position distribution is optimized to prevent reflections on the windshield. Ice blue or amber is recommended, as it complements dark interiors for a premium look. Turning it off is also simple—just return to the original interface and tap the off icon.

Activation method: Select the vehicle icon in the infotainment system, enter the interior lighting menu, and toggle the switch. It boils down to three core steps, but some tips are worth noting. The lighting is most noticeable near the cigarette lighter, while the rear air vent area is slightly dimmer. If it doesn't light up, first check if the infotainment system is updated to the latest version. It's advisable to have the technician inspect the wiring harness connections during the first to avoid poor contact. I use it daily during my commute, and the power consumption is negligible, similar to the reading lights. The color-changing response is quick with virtually no lag.

I love driving with this ambient light when taking my kids out. After starting the engine, go to the central control screen settings menu and find the ambient lighting option. Among the ten preset color schemes, Ocean Blue is the kids' favorite—soft and gentle on the eyes. The best time to turn it on is in the evening, as the transition between light and dark feels very natural. The door panel lighting extends from the handle to the storage compartment, making it especially convenient to grab things at night. Remember to regularly clean the light strip surface with a soft cloth to prevent dust from affecting light transmission. When the small space is wrapped in light, even long car rides don’t feel oppressive.
