How to Turn on the High Beam in a Ford Edge?

To activate the high beam in a Ford Edge, push the control lever on the steering wheel forward. To deactivate it, push the lever forward again or pull it toward the driver. When driving at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, drivers should turn on the headlights, clearance lights, and rear position lights. However, high beams should not be used when a vehicle is closely following another vehicle in the same direction. The Ford Edge is a midsize crossover SUV with dimensions of 4878mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1734mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2850mm and a front/rear track of 1648mm. It has a 5-door, 5-seat SUV body structure.

Turning on the high beams in my Edge is quite intuitive, though I remember being a bit confused as a beginner. First, make sure the light switch is on, usually set to AUTO or ON to activate the low beams. Next, look at the light stalk on the left side of the steering wheel—it controls the turn signals and lights. Simply push it forward (toward the front of the vehicle) to activate the high beams. A small blue indicator on the dashboard will light up to confirm they're on. If you push it fully, it locks into high beam mode until you pull the stalk back or it automatically switches due to conditions. Avoid using high beams in urban areas or around other vehicles to prevent accidents—I use them frequently on highways, and the Edge's light response is precise. If there's an issue, it might be a stuck stalk or aging wiring; just check the settings.

Using high beams is second nature to me, having driven for years. In the Ford Edge, after starting the vehicle, turn the light knob to AUTO or the headlight position to activate the low beams. Then, simply push the left-hand stalk on the steering wheel forward to switch to high beams—the blinking blue dot on the instrument cluster confirms it's on. Key tip: use them on dark, open roads, never when facing oncoming traffic—safety first. The Edge nails this design—effortless operation with well-balanced brightness and coverage. Also, regularly check the stalk for smooth function to avoid accidental activation. Overall, it's a stable, reliable companion for night drives.

Turning on the high beams in the Edge is straightforward. The light stalk is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Push it forward once to activate the high beams, and a blue indicator will appear on the dashboard. I only use them on unlit roads when there are no other vehicles around, as they can dazzle oncoming drivers. The system responds quickly, but don’t forget to turn them off. By the way, there might be an option in the center console to adjust the brightness, but I usually leave them on without any issues.

Using the Ford Edge's high beams is very convenient when taking kids out. Place the light switch in the AUTO position to ensure the low beams come on first, then push the left stalk forward to activate the high beams, with a blue indicator on the dashboard for safety. Teach children not to touch the stalk to avoid accidental operation while driving. Use high beams only on roads without other vehicles, as the Edge's powerful lights can dazzle others. The setup is easy with no obstacles, making it ideal for family trips.
