How to Turn on the Low Beam Headlights on a Civic?
2 Answers
To turn on the low beam headlights on a Civic, locate the light control switch on the left side of the steering wheel and rotate it forward two notches. Taking the 2019 Civic Shangyue Edition as an example, it is a compact car under Dongfeng Honda, with body dimensions of 4658mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1416mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 47 liters. The 2019 Civic Shangyue Edition is equipped with a 1.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
When I first bought my car, I also spent some time figuring out the Civic's light switch. Above your left leg on the driver's side, there's a knob with letters on it. Look for the one labeled AUTO with a small light bulb symbol. When driving at night, simply turn the knob clockwise all the way down until you hear a click. The green headlight icon on the dashboard will indicate that it's properly turned on. On cloudy days or when entering tunnels, the automatic sensor might fail, so you'll need to manually turn it to the icon with downward wavy lines. Remember not to turn it to the wrong position—the position light icon is a small green light, and if you turn it on incorrectly, oncoming drivers might flash their lights at you. Before turning off the engine, always remember to turn the knob back to AUTO or the off position, otherwise the battery might drain by the next day.
