Deer were crossing the road in front of my vehicle. It is impossible on this vehicle to turn off or dim headlights unless vehicle is in park or parking brake is on (hence a complete stop). Deer froze in the headlights and I had to completely stop in the middle of the road in order to have the deer safely move on (once lights were out). This is a hazard to me, anyone behind me and other drivers traveling in the opposite direction. Turning off the headlights while moving will keep the deer moving most of the time. Acura client relations has confirmed this feature as being "as designed" and have no solution to offer. I travel every evening on this road (speed limit 55) and deer are a daily occurrence. I feel Acura should be required to deliver a fix to a clear safety oversight.
