Where is the automatic headlight switch located?

Automatic headlight switch location: There is a knob on the car with symbols for hazard lights, high beams, low beams, and an AUTO button for automatic headlights. Rotate the indicator to the AUTO position to activate automatic headlights, which will also turn on automatically when it gets dark. Headlights adjusted too high or improper use of high beams may distract other drivers or pedestrians by causing glare, potentially leading to accidents and injuries. Always ensure headlights are properly adjusted. Never use high beams or high beam flashing functions if they may cause glare for other drivers or pedestrians.
I've been driving for over a decade. The automatic transmission's headlight switch is usually located on the control lever to the left of the steering wheel, where there's a rotary knob to select different lighting modes, including off, parking lights, low beam, and AUTO position. Once set to AUTO, the headlights will automatically turn on/off by sensing ambient brightness, such as at night or when entering tunnels, which is very convenient. The left-lever position is designed for easy one-handed operation while driving to minimize distraction. Some models may have a separate button on the center console, but mainstream cars like Toyota or Volkswagen use this lever-type design. Using auto mode more often can prevent oversight from manual switching and enhance safety. Regular checks of the lever position and keeping it clean to prevent dust jams are also important. It's recommended to test the switch before driving to ensure proper operation—don't wait until it gets dark to rush.
