The Auto Headlight On feature is quite simple actually — the headlight on the motorcycle comes on as soon as the ignition is turned on, and stays on until the ignition is turned off. The headlight on/ off switch is not present, as it has no function.

One of the key reasons for the update is the government's requirement for motorcycles to have the headlights on, all the time. This is very helpful on highways, since a motorcycle with the headlight on will gain attention, thus helping prevent accidents.
