Regarding the daytime running lights (DRLs) switch on the new Lavida, I know many friends are curious about its exact location. In fact, the DRLs on the Volkswagen New Lavida are automatically activated and there is no separate physical button. If you want to control them manually, you need to operate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel: normally, turn the stalk to the Auto position, and the DRLs will illuminate when the engine starts; if you turn it to the Off position or Parking position, you might temporarily turn them off. However, regulations require DRLs to operate automatically while driving, so it's not recommended to keep them off for long. If you encounter issues, try the dashboard menu: press the Menu button on the steering wheel, scroll to find the lighting settings option, and see if you can switch to manual mode. As an owner, I often remind everyone to check the manual first—DRLs are designed for safety, and keeping them on helps avoid accidents.

The daytime running lights (DRL) switch on the new Lavida isn't a standalone button like in older models—it's integrated into the lighting control stalk. Located just below the left side of the steering wheel, you rotate it to different positions: 'Auto' enables automatic DRL activation, while 'Off' may attempt to deactivate them. If unresponsive, most models require adjustment via the vehicle settings menu. Use the steering wheel buttons to access the system interface and manually toggle DRL in the lighting control section. Remember, DRLs are collision-prevention features, and automatic operation is more reliable. I recommend developing a habit of checking lights at every startup to ensure proper circuit functionality.

The Volkswagen New Lavida typically integrates the daytime running lights (DRL) switch into the lighting stalk system. Rotate the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the designated position—most models manage the DRL on/off indirectly via the Auto or Off positions. Some versions require accessing the instrument cluster menu for settings: after starting the car, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to locate the lighting options and toggle the DRL manually. A simpler method is to experiment with different stalk positions. Automatic DRL operation is standard; avoid disabling it unnecessarily.

The new Lavida lacks a physical switch for daytime running lights (DRLs), as they are controlled via the integrated lighting stalk. On the lower left of the steering wheel, toggle the stalk to 'Auto' to enable automatic DRL activation upon vehicle start-up, or switch to 'Off' for temporary deactivation. System settings also allow adjustment: use the steering wheel buttons to access the instrument cluster menu, locate the lighting management submenu, and toggle the DRL on/off status. Since DRLs are a safety feature, it's advisable to keep them enabled. During vehicle testing, I've observed that users often overlook this function, leading to irregularities. Regular maintenance checks of the lighting assembly are recommended.

How is the toll charged for temporary license plates on highways?

Temporary license plates and regular license plates are charged the same toll on highways. However, it's important to note that when using temporary license plates on highways, you must confirm the nature of the temporary plates. If traveling out of the city, you need to display temporary plates with a brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders, and they must be affixed both on the front and rear of the vehicle to avoid traffic violations on the highway. Precautions for using temporary license plates: 1. Validity period of temporary license plates. Temporary license plates have a limited validity period, which can be 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days. For temporary driving across administrative regions, the validity period does not exceed 30 days. When using temporary license plates, be mindful to avoid expiration. If the temporary plates expire, you need to reapply for new ones, with a maximum of three applications per vehicle. 2. Penalties for running red lights and illegal parking. Whether driving on highways or in urban areas, temporary license plates and regular license plates have the same legal effect. If traffic violations occur, penalties will be imposed accordingly, especially for running red lights, which will result in a 6-point deduction if caught. Drivers are advised not to attempt such violations. 3. Penalties for expired plates. If temporary license plates are found to be expired, the driver will face a 12-point deduction and a fine of 200 RMB. Therefore, drivers using temporary license plates should pay close attention to their validity period.
