How to Turn on High Beam in Elysee?

[LePaislee]

To activate the high beam in Elysee, push the light control lever forward. This is designed for driving on roads outside urban areas at night. When an oncoming vehicle approaches within 150 meters, switch back to low beam to prevent glare that may impair the other driver's vision and cause accidents. The Elysee is a family sedan introduced by French automaker Citroën, with body dimensions of 4367mm (length) × 1708mm (width) × 1413mm (height) and a wheelbase of 2540mm. Powering the Elysee is a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power output of 117 horsepower and 150 N·m of torque, featuring CVVT variable valve timing technology. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic gearbox.

To turn on the high beams of the Elysee, it's quite simple after driving for over a decade. There's a control stalk on the steering column, the lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Gently push it forward, and the high beams will activate, indicated by a blue icon lighting up on the dashboard. Remember, high beams are best suited for unpopulated rural roads or highways at night. Never use them when there are oncoming vehicles or cars ahead, as it can blind other drivers and is highly unsafe. I recommend beginners practice pushing the stalk in an open area first to get a feel for the right amount of force to avoid mistakes. Over time, bulbs may burn out and stop working, so it's important to check or replace them regularly to avoid being caught off guard at critical moments. Overall, the Elysee's design makes the operation quite intuitive—don't overthink it.

As a car enthusiast, I've thoroughly studied the Elysee's lighting system. The high beams are activated via the control stalk next to the steering wheel—just push it forward smoothly without excessive force. This action is actually controlled by a relay that switches the bulb brightness. High beams are designed for dark roads requiring stronger illumination, but beware that misuse may lead to fines or accidents, especially avoid using them in urban areas. I've seen fellow drivers mistakenly flash high beams (by pulling the stalk back) as greetings, but this shouldn't become habitual. Before operation, ensure the engine is running for stable voltage to prevent sluggish response from aged wiring. Only with a healthy lighting system can using high beams provide true driving confidence.

When I first started driving the Elysee, I was a bit confused about how to turn on the high beams. Simply put, the small lever on the right side of the steering wheel, push it forward and the lights will turn on, with a small blue indicator on the dashboard. Keep your hand steady when operating it, don’t shake it back and forth. It’s best to find an open area to practice the pushing force of the lever, and once you’re used to it, use the high beams on the road to see clearly without disturbing others. Safety is the priority—don’t turn them on when there are many oncoming cars, as it can easily cause trouble. Also, checking the bulbs is important to avoid them failing at night.
