To turn off the car ambient lighting, locate the light control knob on the left side at the bottom of the steering wheel. Rotate this knob counterclockwise back to its original position to turn it off. To turn it on, press the knob 1 to 2 millimeters and rotate it counterclockwise to the end. Car ambient lighting is a decorative illumination typically in red, blue, or green, designed to enhance the cabin's appearance at night. The adjustment method is as follows: 1. Turn on the screen and press the CAR button at the bottom left, then click on Settings; 2. In the settings interface, select the Ambient Lighting option; 3. Click on the Manual option, drag the selection bar to choose the color, and adjust the brightness accordingly.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I'm quite familiar with turning off ambient lighting. Most models have dedicated buttons or knobs on the center console with a light icon - just press it to turn off. Some newer cars with touchscreens make it even simpler: enter "Vehicle Settings" from the main menu, locate the "Interior Lighting" option, and toggle it to "Off". Turning off the lights saves power and provides clearer nighttime visibility without distractions. I also recommend regularly cleaning the control panel to prevent dust buildup causing button malfunctions. If you can't turn them off, it might be a blown fuse or software glitch - check the manual or visit the dealership for an update. Honestly, ambient lighting creates nice atmosphere, so it's personal preference whether to keep it on, but safety always comes first. On long drives, I always turn it off for a more peaceful cabin.

I bought my new car less than a year ago, and turning off the ambient lights is super easy! Before each drive, I find the button near the steering wheel and press it to turn them off. For touchscreen cars, just swipe a few times on the main screen to enter the lighting menu and tap to turn them off. I prefer driving with them off to save power and reduce distractions—it feels pretty cool. You can also adjust the color or brightness, and turning them off is completely up to you. I suggest new owners experiment with the system settings to learn the operations—it won’t damage the car. If it freezes, restarting the screen usually fixes it. I often keep them on when listening to music but turn them off while driving for a quieter experience. Adding small accessories can make the operation smoother, but it’s safer not to modify the original wiring.

From the perspective of vehicle electrical control, ambient lighting is part of the lighting system, and turning it off is simple. My operation method is to find the button on the center console panel or enter the settings menu on the screen to toggle the state. After turning it off, the electronic control unit cuts off the power supply, so it won’t consume electricity. If the button is ineffective, it may be due to a fuse failure or software error, requiring inspection and reset. Turning off the lights can reduce system load, but the impact is minimal, and daily button operations are reliable. The vehicle manual provides the correct method to avoid hard modifications to the wiring, ensuring safety.
