How to Turn on the High Beam in a Nissan Sylphy?

Hold the leftmost end of the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel and rotate it forward. Below is relevant information about high beams: 1. High beams adjust the intensity of light based on the distance of the filament. At their focal point, high beams emit parallel light that is more concentrated and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. 2. It is generally advisable not to use high beams when driving in urban areas, as urban lighting conditions are usually adequate. 3. High beams angled too high can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, impairing their vision, which is unsafe and considered impolite driving behavior.
Turning on the high beams of the Sylphy is actually very simple. Here's how I usually operate it while driving: First, push the lighting control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel all the way forward. Note that a blue high beam indicator will light up on the dashboard, resembling a small sun. If you want to flash the high beams during daytime to alert others, just gently pull the stalk backward and release—it will automatically return to position. Key point—the Sylphy requires the low beams to be turned on first before activating the high beams. Rotate the light switch to the bottommost icon (the one with the light pointing downward), then push the stalk. Don’t just rotate to AUTO mode and push the stalk—the auto mode blocks high beams during daytime. Remember to switch back to low beams when meeting oncoming traffic at night—flashing strong lights at others is too dangerous.
When I first got my Sylphy, I also explored the high beams. Let me get straight to the key steps: Twist the left-hand stalk all the way down to turn on the low beams—you should hear a 'click.' Then, push it firmly toward the steering wheel until you feel a distinct notch; the blue high beam indicator on the dashboard will light up. To quickly flash the high beams as a warning to the car ahead, gently pull the stalk toward your chest—similar to activating the turn signal. A pro tip: After locking the Sylphy, the headlights will delay turning off, but if you accidentally left the high beams on, they’ll stay lit. Always check the dashboard warning lights to avoid draining the battery.
