This is a mindset I never understood. You can turn it all off and act as if it’s not there.
the ecu receives a speed request from the bcm.. ecu doesent do anything in terms of sensing except close the throttle when the bcm tells it to. The abs brakes obviously. The bcm is the brain of the car and controls the ecu... thats the real workhorse.
Can you turn off a windshield replacement for triple the price?
.
All right. I will admit when I'm wrong. You got me with that windshield's are definitely more expensive with the sensing equipment, especially with the calibration afterwards.
If there is nothing on the dash, then your DRL is running. The green headlight symbol should appear if your normal headlights are running (and this means your tail lights have a light illumination as well; so if you’re running the wipers, this will eventually turn on if you have it enabled). There is also a blue high beams light that appears if the high beams are being used (I’m not sure if this would illuminate if high beams are on with auto-high beams, but I assume it would). There is also a separate light for fog lights, those only will turn on if your head lights are turned on.Probably true with mine, but the lack of an indicator light on the dash display makes me question what is actually illuminated. With my Audi at least, it was a lot clearer. Mind you, that's one of the very few things I liked better with the S5 than this car
No you can't but, to be fair, you can't turn on the K20C1 option in an Si. I'll take a few more unnecessary tech features I won't use for that.
Thanks! I did read the manual about this but kind of forgot most of it. Too many damn indicator thingies. I almost miss the days of analog displays and idiot lights. Well, almost. Don't want to have to mess with things like a choke ever again. Or those high-beam switches on the floor.
interesting, never had the slow speed problem. but sometimes when im carving around some backroad at night ill be beaming some poor guy in the face for like a second before the system turns off. or maybe im going a healthy speed and the system isnt as responsive as it *should be* lol
To be clear, it has nothing to do with speed, it's just that I primarily notice the issue on residential roads, where by the nature of the road, I am driving at 50Km/h or slower speeds in general. If I had the ability to set a speed threshold for the auto high-beams, it would mean that they would likely only turn on when I'm on a highway or back road where I find they work mostly as intended. I see now how my OP may have been confusing.
