In most car models, the light control mechanism is located on the left side of the steering wheel, and the operation of the high beam and low beam is completed on the left side of the steering wheel. The difference is that the low beam switch may be on the left lever or on an independent light knob on the left side, while the high beam switch is always on the left lever. The usage instructions for high and low beams are as follows: 1. When meeting another vehicle at night, switch to low beam when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. 2. Use low beam when meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night. 3. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights at night, use low beam when turning. 4. When a motor vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic light control at night, alternately use high and low beams to signal. 5. Do not turn on the high beam in foggy weather, as the high beam's light axis is tilted upward, and the emitted light is diffusely reflected by the fog, creating a white haze in front of the car, which makes it harder for the driver to see clearly.

What kind of engine oil should be used for turbocharged engines?

Turbocharged engines should use fully synthetic engine oil. The function of a turbocharger is to increase air intake by compressing air, utilizing the inertial impact force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber. The turbine drives the coaxial impeller, which pressurizes the air delivered through the air filter pipeline, forcing it into the cylinders. The steps for changing the engine oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain screw after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the car, and use a funnel to add engine oil at the oil filler port.
