How to turn on the high beams of a Toyota RAV4?

Toyota RAV4 turns on the high beams by: 1. Turn on the headlights; 2. Use the light control lever to switch between high and low beams. Push the lever away from yourself to turn on the high beams. Taking the 2006 Toyota RAV4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600mm, width 1855mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase 2660mm, minimum ground clearance 190mm, fuel tank capacity 60l. The 2006 Toyota RAV4 is equipped with a 2.4l naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 125kw, maximum torque of 224nm, and matched with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving this RAV4 for three years, and the high beam switch is on the left control stalk near the steering wheel. You push the stalk backward toward yourself, and the blue high beam indicator on the dashboard lights up, illuminating the road clearly. Push it forward to return to the low beams. When overtaking on the highway, a quick pull on the stalk flashes the high beams to alert the car ahead, and it automatically springs back when released. My Feng Shang version has an automatic high beam function marked with an AUTO symbol on the stalk. When activated, it automatically switches to high beams at speeds over 40 km/h in dark areas and reverts when detecting vehicles ahead. Remember to turn off the auto function in rainy conditions to avoid misjudgment. Replacing bulbs requires removing the entire headlight assembly, so it's best to have a professional handle it.
Just helped my wife adjust her new RAV4 hybrid's high beams last week - the operation is actually quite intuitive. Without taking your left hand off the steering wheel, locate the ridged ring at the end of the turn signal stalk. When driving at night, twist this ring fully forward until you hear a 'click' and see the blue indicator light up on the dashboard. I prefer pressing the stalk slightly downward before twisting for better ergonomics. If using auto mode, remember to check 'Automatic High Beam Adjustment' in the lighting assist system settings on the center display. For those who upgraded to LED lights, make sure to check the beam scatter angle - my car got pulled over by traffic police once due to excessive light scattering after modification.
