Under what circumstances should the clearance lights be turned on?
1 Answers
Clearance lights should be turned on when driving in foggy weather, overcast and rainy days, at night, or during dusk. Clearance lights are one of the frequently used automotive signal lights and serve as a warning light. Clearance lights are primarily used in low-visibility weather conditions to alert other vehicles. In hazy weather, dusk driving, or light rain, clearance lights can be turned on alone without the need to turn on the low beam headlights, as the low beam headlights are not effective for front and rear vehicle identification during the day. Clearance lights are located at the outermost edges of the front and rear of the vehicle. Large trucks also have clearance lights on the roof and sides. These lights are installed along the top edges of the vehicle to indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety standards require that vehicles taller than three meters must be equipped with clearance lights. The color of clearance lights is white at the front and red at the rear. These lights are based on existing products from Steyr vehicles. In addition to turning on clearance lights in low-visibility conditions, if a vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the road, obstructing traffic and being difficult to move, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on as required, and a warning sign should be placed 50-100 meters behind the vehicle. At night, clearance lights and rear position lights should also be turned on. Failing to turn on clearance lights and rear position lights at night in the event of a breakdown or accident may result in a fine.
