No Need To Switch Off Headlights!!!

2 nights ago, Kevin was fetching me and while we were waiting for the traffic light to turn green, we spotted an auntie who forgot to switch off her car headlights. She got out from her car and tee teet, locked her car door. We were laughing at her. I remember Kevin saying, " She not so blunder gua. Takkan so pro car no alarm meh." Then I said, " GG liao lo. " We were observing the car hoping that the auntie will realised that her headlights were still on. Then suddenly we witnessed something extraordinary (to us). It happened right in front of our naked eye. The headlights just switched off by itself. We got stunned. Then i started to talk nonsense, " Woah this kind of technology only pro car got issit? If it is on every car then there no need for us to switch off the headlights liao." Kevin added, " Woah never knew got so pro technology."

DUN LAUGH AT US. I KNOW WE SOUND LIKE BIRD BRAIN!!!


If the headlight control was in the ON position when turning off the engine and got out of the car, then the headlights remained on and in some cars there is no warning sound.

The AUTO mode on the headlight control (see photo) is designed to avoid people from leaving the headlights on after their car engine is off. In AUTO mode, the headlights automatically go on when the car engine is turned on and you either release the brake or you drive the car out of carpark.

I personally think an ON/OFF option would be sufficient. With both an ON and AUTO mode is too confusing. If the headlight switch to ON, the headlights turn off automatically when the car engine is turned off and the driver's door is opened. The headlights turn back on automatically when the car engine is started. Then there's no need to worry about dead battery the next morning.

Too bad my car didn't have the AUTO mode. If not i would have tried it on my own. Those who have the AUTO mode please try and let me know. =P
