To turn on the high beam of Nissan Qashqai, follow these steps: Turn the end of the light control lever forward to the second gear to turn on the low beam. In the low beam state, gently push the light control lever forward to switch to the high beam. Additional information: 1. It is generally best not to use high beams when driving in the city because the lighting conditions are usually good. The high angle of the high beam can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, affecting their vision and posing safety risks. It is also considered impolite driving behavior. However, alternately turning the high beam on and off at night can replace the horn to alert pedestrians and vehicles around you, avoiding excessive noise. 2. You can use the high beam when driving on highways or in rural areas without streetlights to expand your field of vision. However, when encountering oncoming vehicles, switch to the low beam for safety and courtesy. 3. When driving at low speeds, the engine's power generation is insufficient, and the battery is in a state of negative charging. Using the high beam can affect its lifespan. Additionally, using the high beam at low speeds at night will also increase the vehicle's fuel consumption.
When I first drove the new Qashqai, I also researched how to turn on the high beams. It's actually quite simple. First, make sure the headlights are on—usually by twisting the lever on the left side of the steering wheel two notches toward the front of the car. At this point, the headlights are on, but only the low beams. To activate the high beams, gently push the lever forward with your left hand until you hear a 'click.' A blue high beam indicator will appear on the dashboard. Avoid using high beams in the city as they can blind oncoming traffic, but they’re very useful on mountain roads or highways. A handy trick: flick the lever back slightly to flash the high beams before overtaking—it’s a great way to alert the car ahead. The Qashqai’s light lever is ergonomically designed, making it easy for experienced drivers to operate without looking.
Actually, activating the high beams on the X-Trail is quite intuitive. I've driven mine for three years without ever needing to consult the manual. The light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel can be easily pushed forward with your left thumb while driving. Just remember to first turn on the headlights by rotating to the middle position marked with a diagonal line. When pushing the stalk, don't use excessive force - a gentle push all the way is sufficient, as being too forceful might loosen the stalk. A blue indicator light on the dashboard confirms successful activation. This feature was a lifesaver during a nighttime trip on unlit rural roads. However, a word to beginners: always switch back to low beams when entering tunnels or well-lit urban areas - those who've been pulled over by traffic police know exactly how troublesome this oversight can be.
