Sylphy low beam activation: First, hold the leftmost end of the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel and rotate it forward. Rotating once sets it to AUTO, which will automatically turn on the headlights, front position lights, instrument panel lights, and rear combination lights based on the surrounding brightness. The ambient brightness is detected by a sensor located at the foremost part of the instrument panel. Rotating once more activates the position lights, and another rotation turns on the low beam of the headlights. Then, pushing the entire light control lever forward turns on the high beam, returning it to the original position turns off the high beam, and pulling it back flashes the headlights once. The Sylphy is a sedan series launched by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with a body length of 4665mm, width of 1700mm, height of 1505mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.

As a Sylphy owner, my experience with turning on low beams is to directly use the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. This stalk can be rotated or pushed/pulled: first turn on the main light switch (usually marked with a symbol), then rotate to the low beam position, or on some Sylphy models, push the top of the stalk to switch to low beams. Make sure the car is in the started state when operating, otherwise the lights won't turn on. I've also noticed many beginners often confuse high beams with low beams - the Sylphy has a blue high beam indicator on the instrument panel as a reminder to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Safety first - you must turn on low beams at night or during rainy conditions with poor visibility, otherwise you risk getting penalty points from police and compromising safety. For regular use, I recommend periodically checking the bulbs to avoid sudden failures, as the Sylphy's lighting system is generally designed to be user-friendly.

I've been driving for over 20 years, including a Nissan Sylphy, and turning on the low beams is a piece of cake. Look at the instrument panel area, there's a control lever on the left side that manages all the lights: first press or turn it to the headlight position (the icon looks like a small light bulb), then push or pull the top of the lever or the button next to it to switch to low beam mode. The Sylphy's design is quite intuitive—just a simple flick of the light lever is all it takes, no need to overcomplicate it with extra adjustments. A reminder to everyone: not turning on low beams in poor road conditions can easily lead to accidents. Once, when I was helping a neighbor fix his car, I found out he was used to only using the automatic lights but forgot to manually adjust them, making it impossible to see vehicles behind when changing lanes at night. Make it a habit to turn on the lights as soon as you start the car—it's a low-cost move that could save your life.

I often use the Sylphy to pick up my kids, and turning on the low beams is super easy. Just go to the control lever next to the steering wheel, which has icons: rotate it to the first light position, or push the head of the lever to switch. Most Sylphy models from various years operate this way, with no advanced buttons. The key is to always turn them on when there's insufficient light, such as at dusk or in tunnels. Not turning on the low beams not only risks getting caught by cameras and penalized but also makes it hard for cars behind to see you. I always teach my husband to check if the lights are on when driving, as safe driving starts with the details. The Sylphy's light lever is ergonomically designed and hard to mess up.
