How Many Times Should You Alternate Between High and Low Beams?
1 Answers
The rules for alternating between high and low beams are as follows: When driving at night through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, or crosswalks, alternate between high and low beams no fewer than 3 times. When passing through an intersection without traffic signals at night, alternate between high and low beams no fewer than 3 times. When overtaking a vehicle ahead at night, alternate between high and low beams no fewer than 3 times. How to operate the high-low beam alternation: Light control lever: Locate the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel. First, turn on the low beams (rotate the knob to the low beam position). Then, pull the light control lever toward yourself once—the high beams will temporarily turn on. Release the lever, and it will spring back, automatically turning off the high beams while keeping the low beams on. This completes one alternation between high and low beams. Repeat this operation 3 times as per the above scenarios. Light control knob: Locate the light control knob on the left side of the dashboard. First, turn it to the low beam position to activate the low beams. Then, use the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel—pull it toward yourself once, and the high beams will temporarily turn on. Release the lever, and it will spring back, automatically turning off the high beams. This completes one alternation between high and low beams.
