The sensitivity of the Levin's automatic headlights cannot be adjusted. Below is the relevant introduction to the Levin's engines: 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine: The model equipped with the 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine is the hybrid version. This 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine is an Atkinson cycle engine. It produces 98 horsepower and a maximum torque of 142 Nm, with the maximum power at 5200 rpm and the maximum torque at 3600 rpm. 1.2-liter turbocharged engine: The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, with the maximum power ranging from 5200 to 5600 rpm and the maximum torque from 1500 to 4000 rpm.

I've been driving a Leiling for several years and find the automatic headlight sensitivity quite nuanced, as it directly impacts driving safety. If the sensitivity is set too high, the headlights activate too eagerly at dusk, appearing redundant in urban areas with significant light pollution. Conversely, if set too low, the delayed response in tunnels or overcast conditions may compromise visibility. The Leiling typically offers sensitivity adjustments in the settings menu with options like High/Medium/Low or levels 1-5, where the default level 3 is generally optimal. I recommend beginners stick to the default initially. If you frequently drive in suburban areas and notice delayed activation, adjusting to level 4 enhances responsiveness—especially prudent for rainy conditions and nighttime highway driving. Don’t overlook the manual’s recommendations; the key is fine-tuning 1-2 steps based on personal preference to avoid abrupt activation or sluggishness. The ultimate goal is balancing safety and energy efficiency, as excessive sensitivity accelerates battery drain and shortens headlight lifespan.

Adjusting the Corolla's automatic headlight sensitivity is quite simple, and I often tinker with the settings in my car. The steps are straightforward: First, start the engine, then navigate to the vehicle settings under the infotainment screen or instrument cluster menu to find the lighting options. There should be a sensitivity setting for the automatic headlights, typically ranging from level 1-5 or with three preset modes. The factory default is usually set at 3, which works smoothly. I prefer setting it to 4 because I live in a suburban area with dimmer lighting—this makes the headlights respond quicker, reducing blind spot risks. However, avoid setting it too high to 5, as the headlights may activate too frequently during dusk or under bright lighting, which can be annoying. In urban areas, I switch back to 3 for convenience and safety. Remember to test the actual effect after each adjustment by driving a bit to see if the response time suits your needs.

I think there's no need to fuss over the automatic headlight sensitivity of the Leiling. After adjusting it a few times yourself, you'll understand the effect. If the sensitivity is set too high, say to 5, the headlights will turn on very quickly at dusk or under tree shades, sometimes even glaring; if set too low to 1 or 2, they'll delay a bit when entering tunnels. The default is usually 3, which works smoothly, and that's what I normally use without much change. Only on long trips do I adjust it to 4, ensuring quicker response to significant light changes. Simply put, if you often drive in well-lit urban areas, stick with 3 and avoid frequent adjustments; for suburban or mountainous roads, setting it to 4 offers more peace of mind.
