 How to Activate the Car Lights?

•  Prerequisite: The low beams must be switched on first.
•  Operation: Push the entire control lever away from the steering wheel (towards your body).
•  Indicator: A blue high beam indicator light will illuminate on the instrument panel.
•  Use: Use in poorly lit rural areas or on highways. Remember to switch back to low beams when meeting oncoming traffic, following another vehicle, or when there are vehicles approaching from the opposite direction, to avoid dazzling other drivers and compromising their safety.

•  Operation: Pull the control lever towards your body and then release it; the high beams will flash once.
•  Usage: Used to alert vehicles or pedestrians ahead, or to signal other drivers to switch their headlights before meeting oncoming traffic.

•  Operation: There is usually a separate small knob in the center or on the side of the control lever. Turn it to switch them on.
•  Front fog lights: The icon shows light lines pointing to the left, with a diagonal line crossing several wavy lines.
•  Rear fog lights: The icon shows light lines pointing to the right, with a diagonal line crossing several wavy lines (usually red or amber). Fog lights are very bright; please use them only in extreme weather conditions such as fog, snow, or heavy rain. Turning them on in normal weather will severely interfere with the visibility of vehicles behind you.

• Location: Usually located on the center console inside the vehicle, marked with a red triangular button.
• Purpose: When pressed, all turn signals will flash simultaneously. Used to indicate a vehicle malfunction, temporary parking, or an emergency situation, to warn other vehicles.

 

•  Most modern cars are equipped with automatic headlights. Simply turn the switch to the "AUTO" position.
• The light sensor on the front of the car will automatically detect the ambient light level and automatically turn on the low beam headlights when entering a tunnel, underground parking garage, or at dusk, without requiring manual operation. This is the most convenient and recommended mode for everyday use.

 IV. Safety Reminders

1.  Daily Use: Keeping the switch in the "AUTO" position is the best option.
2.  At Night or in Low Visibility Conditions: Ensure the switch is in the low beam position.
3.  Check Lights: Regularly check that all lights (brake lights, turn signals, etc.) are working properly. 
4.  Responsible Use of Lights: It is strictly prohibited to use high beams on illuminated roads in urban areas; switch between high and low beams when meeting oncoming traffic; do not use fog lights in non-adverse weather conditions.
