How to Turn On the Headlights?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the headlights is: 1. Locate the turn signal knob on the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Find the threaded ring on the lever; 3. Twist it upwards twice (not two full turns), then push the lever vertically upwards once to turn on the low beam. To switch between high and low beams, continuously pull the lever. To turn off, twist the threaded ring twice. Headlights refer to the lighting devices installed on both sides of the front of the car, used for illuminating the road during night driving, including high beams, low beams, turn signals, etc. Headlights can be either two-light or four-light systems. A two-light system integrates high and low beams into a single bulb, with one on each side. A four-light system separates high and low beams, with two on each side.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I always remind myself of the importance of turning on headlights. Locate that small knob or lever on the left side of the steering wheel, then twist it to the position marked "ON" or "AUTO". The low beams will automatically illuminate; for high beams, just push the lever forward. Always turn them on in dark conditions or rainy weather - not doing so is not only illegal but also increases accident risks. Some newer cars feature automatic functionality that switches lights based on ambient light, which is super convenient. But for older models, manual operation is required - simply twist it on before driving, and remember to turn it off when parking to prevent battery drain. I've also noticed button positions may vary slightly across brands - like SUVs might have dashboard-mounted controls - but the principle remains the same: just rotate the knob. Safety awareness comes first, and it'll become second nature with practice.
