What does 'Auto' for headlights mean?
2 Answers
Headlight 'Auto' refers to automatic turning on and off. Precautions for using headlights are: 1. Turn on low beams when driving at night; 2. Do not use high beams when a following vehicle is driving closely behind a leading vehicle in the same direction; 3. When passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic lights at night, alternately flash high and low beams as a signal. The method to adjust headlights is: 1. Find a wall and ensure the ground is level, then park the car 10 meters away from the wall; 2. Measure the height from the ground to the center of the headlights and the distance between the two headlights; 3. Place a horizontal masking tape on the wall 0.1 meters lower than the headlight height, centered directly in front of the car; 4. Turn on the headlights and adjust the vertical adjustment screws until the headlight beams are centered on the tape on the wall.
In my years of driving experience, auto headlights refer to the automatic mode of car headlights, which automatically turns the headlights on and off based on changes in external light conditions. For example, when dusk falls or when entering a dark tunnel, it senses the decrease in light and immediately turns on the lights without requiring manual operation. This is particularly convenient, especially during long drives or in variable weather conditions, allowing me to focus more on driving and avoiding the risk of forgetting to turn on the lights. Relatedly, if it malfunctions, it is usually because the light sensor on the windshield is blocked by dust—simply cleaning it can restore functionality, or checking if the fuse is blown. It's advisable to periodically check the sensor to keep it in optimal condition. In summary, this feature enhances both the comfort and safety of daily driving.
