The method to use the headlight washer is: 1. Turn the headlight switch to the far right; 2. Pull the right-side wiper lever toward you; 3. The headlight washer and the windshield washer will operate simultaneously; 4. There are water outlets below the headlights, allowing you to clean dust and dirt from the headlights at any time. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of the car. They not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car headlights should not be overlooked. 'Light language' is used during nighttime driving—correct use of light language can help avoid accidents and serve as a 'reminder' or 'warning.'

I often notice many drivers don't know how to use the headlight cleaning system properly while driving. It's actually a simple operation: First, start the car engine and ensure everything is running normally. Then look at your wiper control lever - on most models, pulling or pushing the wiper lever several times in succession will activate the headlight cleaning function. It automatically sprays cleaning fluid while wiping the headlight surface. I prefer using it during nighttime rain or muddy conditions, as it maintains better headlight brightness and prevents blurred vision. Remember to check the cleaning fluid level - I once neglected this and couldn't spray until I added fluid. After parking, I always check if the nozzles are clogged and gently wipe them to maintain smooth operation. This system is thoughtfully designed to reduce nighttime driving risks. Regular use can also extend headlight lifespan by reducing dust accumulation. In short, it's easy to operate - just focus on driving safety.

As a car enthusiast, I'm quite fascinated by the headlight cleaning system. You need to locate that little mechanism on the wiper control stalk - usually by pulling and holding it for about 3 to 5 seconds, then you'll see water jets spraying out to wash away dirt. This setup is particularly useful in harsh weather or off-road driving, as it restores brighter illumination after removing mud and sand. I recommend using dedicated cleaning fluid instead of plain water to prevent nozzle rust or clogging. Many premium cars now even feature an automatic mode that activates when headlight sensors detect grime, which is convenient but still requires manual frequency adjustment. In my routine maintenance, I check the fluid level and nozzles weekly to ensure readiness. Remember not to operate it during high-speed driving to avoid distraction. Overall, this function enhances driving safety and represents thoughtful automotive design. Just practice more and you'll get used to it!

I find using the headlight washer function simple and safe. First, start the car, locate the wiper stalk near the steering wheel, and quickly pull it toward yourself two or three times to activate the cleaning action. I use it during heavy rain or snow when headlights get obscured by mud – it instantly restores brightness and improves visibility. Avoid using it at high speeds to prevent accidents. After operation, check if the washer fluid is sufficient and top up promptly if low to avoid malfunction. Don’t worry about complexity – modern cars are designed to be user-friendly. Making it a habit helps maintain the vehicle’s lighting system better.

In my years of driving experience, operating headlight washers isn't particularly difficult. After starting the engine, most vehicle models activate it by adjusting the wiper stalk – holding it down continuously for a few seconds triggers automatic spraying. In the past when this system wasn't available, we had to manually clean the headlights, which is much more convenient now. I regularly check if the washer fluid reservoir is full, topping up with dedicated fluid when empty; simultaneously inspecting the nozzles for blockages to prevent failure after drying. I recommend using it more frequently in low-light conditions or dusty road sections to ensure safety. Avoid applying excessive force during operation to prevent damaging the control stalk. Routine maintenance should include cleaning the spray nozzles to extend vehicle lifespan. These small things combined make driving more reassuring.

Why Does a Full Tank of Gas Suddenly Last 100 Kilometers Less?

The reason is that the weather gets colder, leading to increased fuel consumption. Do not rely on the displayed fuel consumption, as it reflects long-term averages. Here are the factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Transmission: The type and number of gears in the transmission significantly impact fuel consumption. MT transmissions are the most fuel-efficient, followed by CVT, then DCT and AMT, with AT being the least efficient. 2. Vehicle Weight: Heavier vehicles require more power, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a vehicle based on actual needs. 3. Tires: Tires directly affect fuel consumption. Wider treads and larger patterns increase friction, resulting in higher fuel consumption.
