Should the Levin turn on auto lights or position lights during the day?

The Levin should turn on auto lights during the day. Because the auto position on the headlight switch is an automatic setting, which is more convenient to use. Even when parking, turning off the engine, or locking the car, it does not require excessive operation from the driver. The following are specific introductions to both: 1. When the lights are set to the auto position, when the external light becomes dim, such as at night, the automatic headlight light sensor installed on the windshield will quickly notify the light module to turn on the low beam to provide additional illumination. When the external light becomes brighter, the system will automatically turn off the low beam of the headlights. The entire process does not require any operation from the driver, nor does it affect driving vision or attention, which is more conducive to safe driving. 2. Position lights are turned on in environments with low visibility, such as dawn, dusk, evening, haze weather, or rainy weather. The position lights can be turned on alone to remind other vehicles to judge the position and outline of the car, serving as a warning, which belongs to the category of signal lights. At dawn and dusk, the human eye's ability to recognize colors and shapes is the weakest, and the pupil is in a state of alternating between day and night. Many traffic accidents occur at this time, and these situations are exactly where position lights come into play.
I usually prefer driving in automatic mode for its simplicity and convenience. The AUTO light setting in the Leiling is actually quite intelligent. During the day when there's ample light, it only activates the daytime running lights without turning on the headlights to avoid disturbing others. When entering a tunnel or as it gets darker in the evening, it automatically switches to low beam. Compared to the parking lights, the latter are too dim, making it hard for both the car in front and behind to notice you, which compromises safety. So, I recommend just turning it to the AUTO position and not bothering with the parking lights. This automatic system has been exceptionally reliable over the past three or four years, and it completely eliminates the need to worry about turning the lights on or off. How hassle-free is that!
As someone who frequently drives long distances, I must emphasize how crucial lighting is for driving safety. Using the AUTO mode in the Leiling during the day is much more reliable than manually turning on the parking lights, as it automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light. For example, when suddenly encountering heavy rain or entering a tunnel, the dim parking lights are simply insufficient, while the AUTO mode instantly activates the low beams to ensure clear visibility. I've also found that the automatic mode significantly reduces operational errors caused by sudden light changes, eliminating the hassle of manually adjusting the switch. From a safety perspective, cars with only parking lights on during the day often blend into traffic, whereas the daytime running lights of automatic headlights stand out more, making it easier for other drivers to notice you.
The lighting control system of the Levin is actually quite advanced, and the AUTO mode is incredibly convenient to use. During the day, you don't need to worry about it at all—the system automatically decides whether to use the daytime running lights or the low beams. In contrast, the parking lights feel like a relic from a bygone era; not only do you have to turn them on manually, but it's also easy to forget to turn them off, which can drain the battery. I've seen cases where someone left their parking lights on all night after parking, only to call for roadside assistance the next day. The automatic mode completely eliminates this risk by cutting power when the engine is off. Moreover, the engineers designed it thoughtfully—the bulb lifespan in AUTO mode is actually longer than when the parking lights are left on for extended periods.
