How to Turn on the High Beam on the Cavalier?

[KingRose]

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.

As a frequent driver, I'm very familiar with the operation of the Cavalier. To activate the high beams, first rotate the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel to the driving position, such as the night or on position. Then, gently push the lever forward. Once locked, the high beams will turn on. A light push activates the flash mode, while pushing it all the way down engages continuous high beams. Safety is crucial, so I only use them on roads without oncoming traffic, like open highway sections where distant obstacles need to be seen clearly. Avoid using them recklessly in urban areas to prevent accidents. Remember to check the lighting system regularly. If the lights don't turn on, it might be due to a loose lever or a burnt-out bulb—just get it tested at a repair shop periodically. The Cavalier's design is quite reliable, and using high beams properly can significantly improve nighttime visibility.

Using the Cruze's high beams is quite simple. After rotating the left control stalk on the steering wheel to the headlight position, just push the lever forward slightly to flash the high beams or push it all the way to lock them on. Safety first—I generally only use them briefly on dark, empty road sections to spot distant potholes or signs. I remind myself not to overuse it, as worn stalks might cause accidental activation. Routine maintenance includes cleaning the control switch to ensure smooth, trouble-free operation.

Operating the high beams on the Cavalier is quite intuitive. After starting the car, turn the switch on the left stalk to the low beam position, then push the stalk forward to switch to high beam mode once the lights are on—a light push activates the flash-to-pass, while a full push locks the high beams. While driving, I make sure to use high beams only on unpopulated road sections; they illuminate farther ahead for better alertness, but avoid frequent switching to prevent component wear. If the stalk becomes unresponsive, it might be due to contact issues or a blown fuse—a quick fix is gently cleaning the contacts. The Cavalier’s safety-focused system design is reliable when used properly.
