How to turn on the high beam of the Honda Civic?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the high beam of the Honda Civic is: push the left control lever towards the driver to activate the high beam. Taking the 2021 Honda Civic as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a curb weight of 1343kg. The 2021 Honda Civic features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 117PS, maximum torque of 220Nm, and maximum power of 130kW, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Let me explain in detail how to operate the high beams on the Honda Civic. There's a control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, where your hand naturally rests while driving. First, turn on the headlight switch and rotate it to the low beam position (usually indicated by an icon). Then, gently push the stalk forward - you'll feel a slight click as the high beams engage. Pulling it back turns them off or activates the flash-to-pass feature.
Remember, high beams should only be used on dark roads or when visibility is poor, such as on empty highways at night. They can dangerously dazzle oncoming drivers if used improperly. In urban areas, stick to low beams to prevent accidents.
My personal maintenance routine includes monthly checks of bulb brightness and lens cleanliness - I wipe off any accumulated dust to maintain optimal light clarity. Most high beam failures are caused by bulb aging or loose wiring. Replacing with OEM bulbs is straightforward for DIYers, but visiting a shop is quicker for those less mechanically inclined. Safe driving always comes first.
