Is the low beam turned on by pulling up or down?

Turning on the high beam is done by pushing forward. Pulling up once activates the right turn signal, while pulling down once activates the left turn signal. Pulling backward once is for flashing the headlights. Below are the detailed instructions: 1. Driving under poor lighting conditions at night is part of the driving test (Subject 3). The procedure involves turning on the width lights and high beams. Another method is to turn on the headlights, wait until they switch to high beams, and then proceed. During the test, switching the headlights to high beams requires keeping them steady when the high beams are already on. Switching to high beams when the low beams are on is the correct procedure for meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads at night. 2. Turning on the front fog lights: When driving in foggy conditions, turn on both front and rear fog lights, headlights, and hazard lights. This operation lights up the two front fog lights. Do not pull up the light switch when it is turned off; pull it up when the position lights or headlights are on. Pull the light switch up twice to turn on the rear fog lights.
I remember when I first learned to drive, I was particularly curious about how to turn on the low beams. The instructor told me that it's usually operated with the small lever next to the steering wheel—just push it down gently, and the low beams come on, while pulling it up turns on the high beams. The design is quite user-friendly because pushing down feels natural and avoids distractions while driving. Different car models might have slight variations, like some newer cars having an automatic mode, but the manual operation is generally the same. Using the lights correctly is super important, especially on urban night roads—keeping the low beams on ensures you can see ahead without blinding others. Practicing a few times makes the operation second nature.
