The lever on the left side of the steering wheel controls the headlights of the Baojun 510. Below is an introduction to the Baojun 510: 1. Positioning of the Baojun 510: The Baojun 510 is positioned as a compact SUV. The new model features a fresh family-style design with split-type headlights—the upper slim and sharp ones are LED daytime running lights, while the lower hexagonal units are the main high/low beam headlights. The chrome trim around the front grille extends to the daytime running lights above, giving the front fascia a broad and elegant appearance. 2. Overview of the Baojun 510: The side profile of the new model adopts a high waistline design, complemented by the currently popular floating roof. Dimensions-wise, the new model measures 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. Inside, the Baojun 510 features a black and brown color scheme with matte metal accents. In terms of features, the new model comes with keyless start, an 8-inch floating central touchscreen, a flat-bottom steering wheel, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, and more. Under the hood, the new model is powered by the same L2B 1.5L naturally aspirated engine as the Baojun 730, delivering a maximum power of 82kW and a peak torque of 147Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.3L/100km.
As a new owner of the Baojun 510, I've found the headlight controls to be very intuitive after driving for a while. The key is the lever on the left side of the steering wheel: after starting the car, usually twisting the end once switches the lighting modes. During daytime driving, I just turn it to the first position to activate the position lights as a signal to others; when it gets dark or on cloudy days, I turn it all the way to activate the low beams to illuminate the road ahead. To turn on the high beams, just push the lever forward once to light up farther areas, but be careful not to dazzle oncoming traffic—it's both impolite and dangerous. I once almost hit a small animal while driving on a mountain road at night because I didn’t turn on the lights early enough, so now I make it a habit to adjust the lights based on the lighting conditions. The Baojun’s lights are bright enough, but if the illumination seems unclear, it’s best to visit a 4S shop to check for bulb aging—safety comes first, and what gives the most peace of mind with a new car is a stable lighting system. Simply put, twisting and pushing the lever gets the job done, and it’s easy to get used to.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I'm as familiar with the headlight controls of the Baojun 510 as with an old friend. After starting the car, simply turn the left stalk to the AUTO position, and the system automatically adjusts the lights based on ambient light changes—it's incredibly hassle-free. At sunset, it switches on the low beams, and does the same on cloudy or rainy days to ensure clear visibility. For high beam illumination, just gently push the stalk forward—great for highways but avoid frequent use in urban areas. Personally, I prioritize adjusting the lights during long trips, especially turning on the fog lights immediately in foggy conditions. Remember to regularly check if the headlight height is properly adjusted to avoid dazzling other drivers. Maintenance isn't difficult either—just replace bulbs when they reach the end of their lifespan. In short, mastering light operations makes driving safer and more effortless, and beginners should try the auto mode more to minimize manual switching hassles.
