How to Turn Off the Automatic Daytime Lights on the Vezel?

To quickly turn off the automatic daytime lights on the Vezel, press the lock button twice, and the headlights will immediately shut off. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to automatic headlights: Automatic headlights are a light-sensitive control system installed on the front headlights by some car manufacturers for user convenience. When the light dims while driving, the headlights automatically turn on, and they turn off when the light brightens. There is a delay in the activation of automatic headlights—meaning the headlights will only turn on automatically within a few seconds after the light-sensing system detects dimming. According to traffic regulations, headlights must be turned on before entering a tunnel, so manual activation is still required when passing through tunnels. 2. Hazards of not turning off the headlights: If the headlights are left on after the car is turned off, they will drain the battery. Once the engine is off, the generator stops working, and the battery becomes the sole power source for the entire vehicle. Leaving the headlights on for extended periods can easily lead to battery depletion, affecting engine startup and shortening the battery's lifespan.

As a Vezel owner, I often get asked by friends how to turn off the daytime auto lights since they stay on during the day which can be annoying. You can try rotating the light control switch on the left side of the steering wheel directly to the 'OFF' position. If that doesn't work, check the instrument cluster settings menu—you might find a daytime running lights option to disable in the vehicle settings. Be careful not to permanently turn them off as these lights are designed to enhance visibility and reduce accidents. From my experience, it's best to only turn them off in specific situations, like when parked at a light, but keep them on while driving for safety. Also, a quick reminder to check the owner's manual before fiddling to avoid causing other issues.

I've been driving for over a decade, including a Honda Vezel (HR-V), and while automatic headlights enhance safety, they can be unnecessary during daylight. To turn them off: simply locate the light control stalk or button near the steering wheel and switch to 'OFF' mode—the lights will deactivate. However, I must emphasize avoiding permanent deactivation since they significantly reduce collision risks. Temporarily disabling them while driving is acceptable, but always acknowledge the safety implications. Personally, I keep them enabled unless under special circumstances to prevent potential misjudgment by trailing vehicles. If the brightness bothers other drivers, a quick adjustment solves it effortlessly.

DIY modification enthusiasts, let's talk: The daytime auto light deactivation method for the Vezel is quite user-friendly. First, turn the light control knob to 'OFF', and it should work immediately in most cases. If it doesn't, refer to the owner's manual to find the vehicle settings menu and adjust the relevant options. I've personally tried modifying the related wiring, but I don't recommend tinkering blindly to avoid triggering circuit issues or voiding the warranty. Safety-wise, these lights are a protective measure, so avoid permanently disabling them unless absolutely necessary. A reminder to check if the switch contacts are in good condition—occasional looseness can cause failure. Using a multimeter to test the current can aid in diagnosis.
