How to Turn Off Civic's Automatic Headlights?
2 Answers
Civic's automatic headlights can be turned off by simply rotating the light control knob to the 'off' position. The Civic is a compact car under Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4649mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Civic comes standard with EPS (Electric Power Steering System), which comprehensively analyzes information such as vehicle speed, body status, and engine speed to provide reasonable steering assistance for precise control. The Civic is equipped with a 1.5T L4 engine, featuring turbocharged intake, delivering a maximum horsepower of 177ps and a maximum torque of 220nm.
I've been driving a Civic for several years, and sometimes I need to manually turn off the automatic headlights to save power or prevent accidental activation. The method is quite simple: There's a control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel with a rotary switch. Normally, when set to AUTO, the lights turn on and off automatically; just rotate it to OFF to completely shut them off. For newer models like those post-2020, you might need to start the car first and then navigate to the lighting settings menu in the infotainment screen to manually disable the automatic function. After turning it off, remember to check if the dashboard indicator light dims to prevent safety hazards, or ensure you manually turn on the headlights before driving at night to avoid accidents. In daily use, I often turn it off during car washes or prolonged parking to save battery. The auto mode is indeed convenient on cloudy or rainy days, but flexible control is essential. If the issue persists, it might be a minor fault in the control module—I recommend visiting a 4S shop for a quick inspection without delay.
