Can Automatic Headlights Be Left On All the Time?
1 Answers
Yes. However, AUTO mode does not control high/low beam switching. Automatic headlights rely on sunlight sensors to determine ambient brightness and cannot analyze real-time changes in surrounding conditions to select between high and low beams. If you want automatic control of high beams, you need to push the combination light switch forward to the high beam position and then turn the knob to AUTO position - this will enable automatic high beam activation. The same applies to low beams. When driving conditions become darker, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they'll turn off when light increases. It's worth noting that many people mistakenly believe "automatic headlights" are specifically designed for tunnels. However, this isn't the case. Automatic headlights have an activation delay - they only turn on within several seconds after the light sensor detects darkness. According to traffic regulations, headlights must be turned on before entering tunnels, so you still need to manually activate headlights in advance when passing through tunnels.
