Acura 2012 TL - Manual (Page 144)

The automatic lighting
feature turns on the headlights and
all other exterior lights when it
senses low ambient light.
To turn on automatic lighting, turn
the light switch to AUTO. The lights
will come on automatically when the
outside light level becomes low (at
dusk, for example). The lights on
indicator comes on as a reminder.
The lights and indicator will turn off
automatically when the system
senses high ambient light.
Push the left lever
forward until you hear a click. The
blue high beam indicator will come
on (see page
). Pull the lever back
to return to the low beams.
To flash the high beams, pull the
lever back lightly, then release it.
The high beams will stay on as long
as you hold the lever back.
The lights will remain on when you
turn off the ignition switch. They will
turn off automatically when you
remove the key and open the driver’s
door. To turn them on again, either
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position or turn the light switch
to the
position.
Even with the automatic lighting
feature turned on, we recommend
that you turn on the lights
manually when driving at night or
in a dense fog, or when you enter
dark areas such as long tunnels or
parking facilities.
The lights will remain on when you
set the power mode to VEHICLE
OFF (LOCK). They will turn off
automatically when you open the
driver’s door and take the remote
with you. To turn them on again,
either set the power mode to ON or
turn the light switch to the
position.
To change the ‘‘AUTO LIGHT
SENSITIVITY’’ setting, see
.
Do not leave the light switch in
AUTO if you will not be driving the
vehicle for an extended period (a
week or more). You should also turn
off the lights if you plan to leave the
engine idling or off for a long time.
