How to Turn on the Headlights of a Haval H9?
4 Answers
To turn on the headlights of a Haval H9, follow these steps: 1. Enter the vehicle and locate the light control lever and the light rotary switch. 2. The default position is the off position; rotate it one notch to the right to turn on the parking lights. 3. Adjust the rotary switch to the lower position to turn on the low beam headlights. 4. The middle button controls the fog light switch. 5. Push the light lever upward or downward to activate the turn signals. 6. Push the light lever forward to turn on the high beam headlights, and pull it backward for a single high beam flash. Taking the Haval H9 2020 4WD Premium 7-seater as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4856 mm, width 1926 mm, height 1900 mm, wheelbase 2800 mm, and fuel tank capacity 80 liters.
I've been driving a Haval H9 for several years, and the light switch is on the stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Just turn the outermost knob: the first position turns on the parking lights and illuminates the instrument panel, the second position turns on the low beams. Pushing the stalk toward the steering wheel activates the high beams, while pulling it back flashes the lights to alert the car ahead. The fog lights need to be turned on separately with a knob marked with the fog light symbol below the air vents on the center console. For models with automatic headlights, just set the knob to AUTO, and the lights will turn on instantly when entering a tunnel, but remember not to block the light sensor behind the rearview mirror on the windshield. Be careful not to let water get into the knob gaps when washing the car, as the stalk might freeze in winter in northern regions, which would be quite awkward.
Just picked up the H9 Off-Road Edition last week and found its lighting system quite user-friendly. Besides the main switch on the turn signal stalk, pulling the fog light button at the top of the stalk is the most convenient during rainy or foggy days, with a green fog light indicator illuminating on the dashboard. In emergencies, pressing the hazard light button three times triggers all lights to flash rapidly. The drive mode knob next to the gear shift features backlighting, revealing red scale markings only when the lights are on at night. The delayed headlight shut-off function after locking the car needs to be set in the vehicle system—it lights your way home but be cautious not to drain the battery.
The lighting system of the Haval H9 is quite intelligent. When turning the left-side stalk on the steering wheel, you can hear a clear click sound, with two-stage damping distinguishing between parking lights and headlights. To activate the high beams, you must push the stalk forward in the headlight position, while a quick flash does not require turning on the main lights. The top trim models after the 2022 version feature a backlit turn signal stalk, making nighttime operations easier. The sensitivity of the automatic headlights is adjustable; lowering the light threshold in the vehicle settings will make the lights turn on earlier at dusk. The fog lights use yellow light because of its strong wavelength penetration—remember to turn them on in advance when encountering thick fog on the highway.
