How to Turn on the High Beams on the Atenza?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the high beams on the Atenza is: 1. There is a rotary switch on the control lever, usually with two outer ones being the light activation switches; 2. Using the steering wheel as a reference, after turning on the headlight switch, pull it upward to activate the low beams. The Atenza is a mid-size sedan under the Mazda brand, with body dimensions of 4870 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1445 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830 mm. In terms of power, the Atenza is equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L engines, all paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. For the suspension, the Atenza uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving the Atenza for several years and am most familiar with its lighting controls. Activating the high beams is actually quite simple: just gently push the lighting control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel toward the steering column, and the high beams will turn on. When first learning, it may take a few tries to get familiar with the position, especially useful during night driving on highways or rural roads to illuminate distant road conditions. However, never keep them on for extended periods. When you see oncoming traffic or enter well-lit areas, immediately pull the stalk back to switch to low beams, avoiding glare that could compromise others' safety. Here's some personal experience I'd like to add: I practiced a few times in an empty parking lot when first using it to prevent mistakes; during regular night driving, I've developed the habit of checking the lights—if the stalk responds slowly, it might be worth checking the bulbs or fuses, though the Atenza is generally very reliable. In summary, the operation is quite intuitive, but safety awareness always comes first.
