The method to use the headlight delay-off feature on the Hyundai Elantra is: 1. Enter the settings on the central control screen and click on the lights; 2. In the lights interface, you can see the option for headlight delay-off; 3. Simply set it up. Taking the 2020 Hyundai Elantra as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4610mm, width 1800mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a body weight of 1319kg. The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 130PS, maximum torque of 211Nm, maximum power of 95.6kW, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
After driving a Hyundai Elantra for several years, I find the headlight delay-off feature super practical, especially for illuminating the pathway when returning home at night. The setup is simple: after starting the vehicle without turning it off, locate the settings button on the central control screen or near the steering wheel, enter the lighting options, find the delay-off function, and select the desired duration (e.g., 15 to 30 seconds). Confirm and exit. After turning off the engine, the headlights will stay on until the set time elapses and they automatically shut off. The first time I used it, I set it to 20 seconds, which was just enough for me to lock the car and enter the house, avoiding the hassle of forgetting to turn off the lights and draining the battery. If you can't find the setting, refer to the user manual or look up tutorial videos online. In dark parking lots or rural areas, it provides extra safety lighting to prevent tripping or poor visibility. I recommend keeping this feature enabled regularly to ensure a carefree exit from the car. But remember, don’t set the time too short or too long, or the utility will be compromised.
