Default How do I turn my high beams off?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm still getting used to the car. I always have my headlights to 'auto' and it works fine, yellowish DRL's throughout the day then switched to only clear white lights at night. I haven't messed with anything but just tonight the high beams were on (blue symbol on dash) and I kept getting flashed like crazy lol. It's normally only the green symbol at night. And the DRL's were still on also, so it was like a mixture of the yellow and bright white. I toggled back and forth between the light settings but it's still the same once I get to auto. The weather today was really clear and I parked in my garage trying to toy with it but nothing works. Any help?

Should be pretty intuitive just like any other car. Pull the **** toward you and it will click back in positoin for low beam. Probably inadverently push toward the dash and turn it on.

Sounds like you accidentally turned the high beams on when signaling. Like Sango said, just pull the lever back towards you.
