How to Use the Headlight Switch on Volvo XC40?

Volvo XC40 headlight switch operation method: Locate the stalk-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel, turn it to the designated position, and the corresponding exterior lights will illuminate, with corresponding indicators also lighting up on the instrument panel. The Volvo XC40 dimensions are: length 4425mm, width 1863mm, height 1652mm, with a wheelbase of 2702mm. The Volvo XC40 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine delivering maximum horsepower of 163ps, maximum power of 120kw at 5500rpm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
When I first drove the Volvo XC40, I had to figure out the location of the light switch. It's on the stalk to the left of the steering wheel—just twist it gently to select modes: one click up for automatic lights (they turn on/off based on darkness), the middle position for parking lights (position lamps), and one click down for headlights (low beams). There's also a button at the top of the stalk; press it to activate the rear fog light, which is super handy in rainy or foggy conditions. I usually leave it in auto mode to avoid manual adjustments. Over time, I noticed it reacts quickly—lights turn on or off as soon as the light changes. The auto mode works well, though new users might need time to get used to the stalk's resistance. If you forget to turn on the lights, the dashboard will remind you for safety. I recommend new owners check the manual or practice during a test drive to ensure confidence in nighttime driving. The XC40's light switch is thoughtfully designed for smooth operation, keeping your focus on the road.
