Why does the 14th-generation Sylphy have lights on during the day?
2 Answers
14th-generation Sylphy has lights on during the day because it is equipped with daytime running lights (DRLs). Here are the details about DRLs: Energy-saving effect of DRLs: Daytime running lights are primarily designed for daytime driving illumination. Unlike regular low-beam headlights, they consume only 15% of the energy of conventional low beams. For DRLs using LED technology, the energy-saving effect is even more significant, with energy consumption as low as 10% of that of standard low-beam headlights. Operation of DRLs: When the engine is started, the daytime running lights automatically turn on and gradually increase in brightness to attract the attention of other motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians on the road. When night falls and the driver manually switches on the low-beam headlights, the daytime running lights automatically turn off.
Every time I drive my 14th-generation Sylphy out, I notice its lights are on even during the day. This is actually the function of Daytime Running Lights (DRL for short). From a safety perspective, these lights are designed to enhance the vehicle's visibility, especially in foggy or overcast conditions, making it easier for other drivers to spot my car and reducing collision risks. I've looked it up—this feature has long been popular in Europe and the US, reducing accident rates by up to 30%, and now even domestic cars have adopted it widely. As an ordinary car owner, I find it thoughtful because it uses LED lights, which don’t consume much power but make driving safer. Some say it’s mandatory, though—I understand Nissan is responding to global safety trends. To learn more about car details, I even downloaded the Nissan app to monitor the lights’ status, which is quite handy. In short, daytime lights aren’t a problem but part of protecting drivers. I recommend you look into it too.
