How to Turn on the Low Beam Headlights on the Atenza?
3 Answers
Atenza switching to low beam headlights method is as follows: 1. Switch: On the control lever, there are rotary switches, generally two. The outer one is the light switch with three positions: off - (position lights) small lights - headlights (high beam, low beam); The inner rotary switch controls the front and rear fog lights on and off. 2. High/low beam switching: Taking the steering wheel as reference, after turning on the headlight switch, push it downward to turn on the high beam. At this time, the high beam is on, and the blue light icon on the dashboard is constantly on; Pull it upward to turn on the low beam, and the blue icon on the dashboard turns off.
I just started learning to drive and figured out how to turn on the low beams on the Mazda6. On the left lever near the steering wheel, there's a rotary switch—turning it to the position with a bulb or similar symbol activates the low beams. In automatic mode (marked with an 'A'), the lights turn on/off based on ambient light, but manual control is better for beginners to practice, avoiding accidentally blinding others with high beams. Practice the controls often in the garage, and remember the lights only work after starting the car. Also, always turn them on in dim light or rain for safety—it's legally required to reduce accidents. Before driving, I check if the dashboard indicator glows green. If there's an issue, visit a mechanic to check for burnt bulbs or loose wiring. Make it a habit—safety first!
Having driven for over ten years, I'm very familiar with the lighting controls of the Mazda6. Just turn the stalk next to the left side of the steering wheel to the low beam position – the icon is quite prominent. Operate after starting the car; while automatic mode is convenient, manual control offers better brightness adjustment, especially in foggy or dim conditions. Remember that the instrument cluster will show a green indicator light when the lights are active. Regularly clean the lamp covers and check bulb brightness to avoid aging affecting nighttime driving. On highways, keep low beams on unless using high beams on empty roads. Notably, improper light usage can result in penalty points – I maintain this with biannual checks. From experience, it's simple but crucial for safety.
