Borgward BX5's light control area is located below the air vent on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn the large round knob to the high beam position to turn on the high beam. The left scroll switch adjusts the backlight brightness, and the right scroll switch adjusts the headlight height. More related information is as follows: 1. Function: The light control panel of Borgward BX5 has a total of 3 functional areas. The left side is the light switch area, the middle is the instrument brightness adjustment, and the right side is the headlight height adjustment. Borgward BX5 has an automatic headlight function. When the light adjustment switch is pointed to the auto mode, it is in automatic mode, which will turn the headlights on or off according to the brightness of the light, followed by the position lights and headlights. 2. When using high beams: If you encounter an oncoming vehicle, you must turn off the high beams and wait until the oncoming vehicle has passed before turning them on again. This is to avoid dazzling the other driver's vision with the high beams and causing accidents, which is also a standard of civilized driving.

When you first buy a BAIC Borgward BX5, turning on the high beams is a basic operation. When I drive this car, I'm used to finding a lever on the left side of the steering wheel and pushing it toward the front of the car to turn on the high beams; gently pulling it back toward myself switches back to low beams or turns them off. The key is to use them when driving on highways or rural roads at night with insufficient lighting to see the road conditions clearly, but avoid overusing them in urban areas or when there are oncoming vehicles to prevent dazzling others and causing accidents. Check if the headlight switch in the car is in AUTO mode, as it sometimes affects automatic adjustment. If the lights won't turn on no matter what, it might be due to a blown fuse or a bulb failure, so it's recommended to have a mechanic check during regular maintenance. Familiarizing yourself with the operation makes driving safer and more confident, reducing accidents.

Operating the high beams on the BAIC Borgward BX5 is straightforward: push the left control lever forward to activate, and pull it back to turn off. In daily use, I find this design user-friendly, similar to many vehicles, but avoid laziness in keeping them on for extended periods. Always switch back to low beams in heavy traffic or before highway exits to prevent fines or hazards. It's advisable to test the light switch's smoothness before each drive—if the lever lacks resistance or lights fail to illuminate, it may indicate poor wiring contact. Cultivate good habits by only using high beams in safe environments to protect yourself and others. Maintaining proper lighting ensures enjoyable night driving while minimizing risks.

The high beam operation of the Borgward BX5 is controlled by the lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Push it forward towards the front of the car to turn on, and pull it back to turn off. I often use it to enhance visibility on dark roads, but avoid unnecessary misuse. For example, using it in urban areas may draw complaints from pedestrians, while it works well on highways at night. Checking the bulb lifespan is crucial, as aging affects brightness. The operation is straightforward and effective, making it easy to use while driving.
