How to Turn on the Car Lights?
2 Answers
To turn on the car lights: 1. Rotate the left light control switch forward one notch for parking lights; 2. Rotate it two notches for low beams; 3. Push the light control lever forward once for high beams; 4. Lift the light control lever upward once for the right turn signal. Precautions for using car lights: 1. Turn on low beams when driving at night; 2. Do not use high beams when driving closely behind another vehicle in the same direction; 3. When passing sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signals at night, alternate between high and low beams to signal.
As a novice who just got my driver's license, I've noticed that the light switch is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel, either as a lever or a rotary knob with light symbols. After starting the vehicle, simply turn this knob gently to the ON or AUTO position. If the car has automatic lighting, it will turn the lights on and off based on external light conditions, which is both convenient and safe. During the day when there's sufficient light, you can turn them off or use the parking lights to indicate your position, but at night, you must turn on the headlights to improve visibility. Always check the dashboard indicators to confirm the lights are working. Additionally, avoid common mistakes: don't force the switch if it's stuck, as this could damage the components; if the lights don't turn on, check if the fuse is blown or the battery is dead—don't compromise road safety. With a bit of practice, you'll get the hang of it, and making it a habit can help prevent accidents.
