The method to turn on the headlights of the Soueast DX7 is: Rotate the red arrow to the AUTO position, and the headlights will automatically turn on or off based on the ambient brightness. The Soueast DX7 is a compact SUV. Taking the Soueast DX7 2020 Xingyue DCT Luxury Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4570 mm, width 1905 mm, height 1720 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Soueast DX7 2020 Xingyue DCT Luxury Edition is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 145 kW and a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving the SouEast DX7 for two years, and the headlight switch is quite straightforward. On the left stalk behind the steering wheel, there's a round knob—the top position 'O' turns the lights off, turning it down one notch activates the parking lights (tail lights on), and the second notch turns on the low beams. To activate the high beams, push the entire stalk forward, and the blue indicator on the dashboard will light up; pulling it back temporarily flashes the high beams to alert the car ahead. For fog lights in rainy or foggy conditions, press the separate fog light button under the center console. For automatic headlights, simply turn the knob to the 'AUTO' position, and they'll turn on automatically when entering an underground garage at night. However, remember to manually turn on the low beams in rainy weather, and the fog lights need to be activated separately. Beginners are advised to start with the parking light position to practice, as it's safer than directly switching on the headlights.

The headlight operation of the DX7 is similar to most SUVs, with the focus on the left-hand stalk on the steering wheel. Turn the top knob clockwise two clicks to turn on the low beams, and counterclockwise to turn off the lights. In automatic transmission models, when set to AUTO, the lights will automatically turn on in tunnels, but note that the fog lights won't activate automatically—you need to press the button with the wavy line on the center console. Last year when I was driving on mountain roads, I found that if you turn on the high beams and an oncoming car appears, pulling the left-hand stalk toward your chest quickly switches back to low beams. The dashboard will display a green headlight icon to confirm the lights are on. If they don't turn on, first check if you've twisted the knob to the wrong position. Keep a powerful flashlight in the car for emergency lighting in sudden darkness.

Three steps to turn on the headlights of DX7: First, locate the light lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel, rotate the switch knob to the second position to turn on the low beam; push the lever to switch to high beam; to turn on the fog lights, press the button on the center console separately. If you have purchased a mid-to-high trim with automatic headlight function, align the knob with the AUTO mark, and the lights will automatically turn on when the light dims, which is suitable for owners who frequently drive on highways. One thing to note: If the headlights are on when starting the vehicle, the increased load on the generator may affect the idle speed, so it's best to turn on the lights after the engine is running. The light lever may become stiff after prolonged use; regularly spraying some WD-40 lubricant can extend its lifespan.
