How to Turn Off the Automatic Headlights on the Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle's headlights are automatically sensing. To manually turn them off, there is a round button below the left side of the steering wheel; turn it counterclockwise to the end, and it will bounce back. To turn off the high beam headlights, there are two levers in front of the steering wheel, one on each side. Pull the one on the left toward the steering wheel. Below are specific details about headlights: 1. Headlights are installed on both sides of the front of the car and are used for road illumination during nighttime driving. There are two-light and four-light systems. Since the lighting effect of headlights directly affects nighttime driving operations and traffic safety, traffic management departments in various countries have stipulated their lighting standards in the form of laws. 2. If the road conditions do not meet driving requirements, such as in darkness or extreme weather, the vehicle's headlights need to be turned on for illumination. Usage recommendation: In environments with insufficient light, such as at night or during rain, turn on the headlights to ensure the driver's visibility. Special note: In environments with insufficient light, such as tunnels and underground parking lots, always turn on the low beam headlights to ensure visibility and alert others to your position. 3. AUTO means automatic. Except for the Comfort version, all other models of the Excelle GT are equipped with this function, which is set to AUTO by default. The headlights turn on and off automatically based on light conditions without manual operation.
As an owner who has driven the Excelle for several years, I know turning off the automatic headlights is quite simple. There's a rotary knob on the left-side control stalk of the steering wheel, marked with 'Auto' and other icons. Just turn it to the 'Off' position to manually deactivate the lights. Why turn them off? You might want to avoid battery drain when parked or during daytime, or prevent light interference in specific situations like repair garages. Automatic headlights are a convenient feature that uses sensors to detect light changes, automatically switching them on/off, eliminating manual hassle. But remember, if you turn them off and enter a tunnel or when it gets dark, you must manually activate them promptly for safety. I also recommend regularly cleaning that control knob - dust buildup may jam its position preventing shutdown. Additionally, check battery status as frequent switching increases power consumption. Overall, mastering this operation allows flexible vehicle control across scenarios.
