How to Turn on the Low Beam?
2 Answers
Low beams are generally located on the lighting combination panel to the left of the steering wheel or on the lighting lever near the steering wheel, which is a lever switch. Here is more relevant information: 1. Main advantage: The illumination distance of low beams is approximately 30-40 meters. According to experiments: when driving at 55 km/h at night, if you spot a situation and immediately apply the brakes, the stopping distance is exactly 30 meters. 2. Using high beams at night: It's essential to control your speed when driving at night. On flat, wide roads with good visibility where high beams are used, the speed can be appropriately increased. However, when encountering complex situations such as oncoming traffic, uneven roads, turns, bridges, narrow roads, or intersections, you should slow down, generally keeping the speed below 40 km/h.
I'm a veteran driver with 20 years of experience, and I know all about low beams. That lever on the left side of the steering wheel - just twist it down to the first position until you see the little green light symbol illuminate on the dashboard. Remember to turn them on as soon as you start driving at night, and especially during rainy or foggy weather. Many new drivers skip this to save trouble - getting fined is the least of their worries, a crash would be disastrous. Last time I saw a truck driver who turned on his low beams before it was completely dark - I spotted him from far away, that's experience for you. Also, don't neglect maintenance - replace bulbs when they near the end of their lifespan, don't wait until they fail.
