[DeRonan]

The method to turn on the high beam on a Kia is: gently push the light control lever located at the lower left side of the steering wheel forward. Taking the Kia K3 2021 Striving Edition as an example, it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4660mm, width 1780mm, height 1450mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Kia K3 2021 Striving Edition is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 96 kW and a maximum torque of 211 Nm. Its drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been driving Kia for so many years, and every time I drive on the highway at night, I have to use the high beams. The operation is actually very simple—the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel is the key. Just push it all the way forward to turn on the high beams, and a blue high beam indicator on the dashboard will light up to remind you. Remember, this is a continuous activation state, suitable for sections without oncoming traffic. To temporarily alert the car ahead, gently pull the lever backward to flash the high beams, and release it to automatically turn them off. Some newer Kia models come with automatic headlight functions, and you can even access the headlight settings menu on the dashboard, but manual control is the most reliable. Don’t recklessly use high beams when driving at night, and remember to switch back to low beams when meeting other cars—it’s basic driving etiquette.
