How to Turn on the High Beam on the Cavalier?
2 Answers
Cavalier turns on the high beam by pushing the left steering column lever forward. The high beam can improve visibility and expand the field of view. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible range with the high beam on is much greater than with only the low beam on, making it very necessary to use the high beam in such conditions. The Cavalier is a compact car with a body size of 4474mm in length, 1730mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. It is equipped with a 1.3L 107 horsepower L3 naturally aspirated engine, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, and has a maximum power of 79 kW.
I've used the high beams on my Cavalier several times, and the operation is quite straightforward. After starting the car, there's a light control stalk on the left side of the steering column. First, rotate the switch to the low beam or auto position to turn on the lights. Then, push the stalk forward—a firm push will lock it into high beam mode, while a light push will flash the lights as a signal. The key is not to drive with high beams on indiscriminately. I use them during night shifts on highways to illuminate the road ahead more clearly, but I turn them off in the city or when there's oncoming traffic to avoid dazzling others. Otherwise, it's not only dangerous but could also result in a fine. Sometimes, if the stalk gets stuck or the lights don't turn on, it might be a blown fuse, but the system in the Cavalier is quite durable. My car has had no issues in two years of use—just make sure to regularly maintain and check the lighting components.
