How to turn on the high beam on Roewe RX5?
3 Answers
Roewe RX5's lighting assembly is located at the lower left side of the steering wheel. To turn on the high beam, first turn on the headlights, then push the lever forward for high beam, and pull it back to switch back to low beam. The high beam can improve visibility and expand the field of view. On dark roads without street lights, the visible range with high beam is much larger than with low beam only. Usage of high beam is as follows: 1. Do not use high beam when driving at night with street lights. 2. When there are no street lights and very few vehicles on the road, high beam can be used. 3. When meeting another vehicle while using high beam, switch to low beam. 4. If the other vehicle uses high beam during night driving, flash the overtaking light 1-2 times to remind them to switch lights.
When driving my Roewe RX5, activating the high beams is quite straightforward. First, I sit in the car and start the engine. Then, I operate the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel: in most cases, the light switch defaults to the off position, so I twist it to the nighttime or auto setting to turn on the low beams. After that, a simple push forward on the stalk activates the high beams, usually indicated by a blue icon lighting up on the dashboard. On highways or dark rural roads, this significantly widens visibility, allowing me to see objects over 200 meters ahead—super practical. However, I remind myself to pull the stalk back to turn off the high beams when encountering oncoming traffic or driving in urban areas to avoid dazzling other drivers and causing dangerous situations. Additionally, the Roewe RX5's lighting system is quite smart; if equipped with automatic headlights, it detects oncoming headlights and switches back to low beams automatically, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. I also recommend regularly checking the headlight bulbs and fuses to prevent burnout and avoid mid-journey malfunctions.
The high beam activation of the Roewe RX5 primarily relies on the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel: After ignition, rotate the light switch to set the vehicle in parking light or low beam mode, then push the lever forward to activate the high beams; this simple action can immediately and significantly enhance forward illumination, especially suitable for nighttime driving. From a technical perspective, the Roewe RX5 may be equipped with LED light sources, with power management handled by the ECU to ensure stable light emission; if accidentally left on for too long or under unstable voltage, the system will automatically adjust to prevent overheating. For safety, always use temporary flashing (pulling the lever backward) instead of continuous high beams during oncoming traffic to reduce glare risks. If there's no response during operation, check whether the relevant fuse in the fuse box is blown or if the bulb connection is loose; it's best to develop the habit of testing the lights before driving to ensure everything is functioning properly.
