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