How to Turn on the Headlights?
2 Answers
Headlights must be turned on when driving at night, with the low beam's illumination distance being approximately 30-40 meters. When driving in areas without streetlights after dark or in conditions such as heavy fog, snowfall, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, it is necessary to turn on the lights.
I've always driven sedans, and turning on the headlights is actually quite simple. Just look for the knob or lever next to the steering wheel, and turn it to the position marked 'ON' or 'low beam' to activate them. Having driven for over a decade, I've noticed differences between car models—manual transmission cars usually rely on knobs for adjustment, while automatic models might integrate the controls into buttons on the dashboard. It's crucial to turn them on promptly after dark, not only to see the road ahead clearly but also to make your car visible to others, preventing rear-end collisions. Safe driving is key; driving at night without lights can lead to fines, penalty points, and is downright dangerous. By the way, modern cars come with automatic headlights that sense dark environments and turn on automatically, which is convenient, but manual control is more reliable. Make it a habit to check your light settings when you get in the car, and you won't forget. If the lights don't turn on, it might be a blown fuse or a bulb issue—worth checking. Always refer to the manual to familiarize yourself with your car's layout.
