DRL stands for Daytime Running Lights. Its primary function is not to help drivers see the road, but to enhance the visibility of the vehicle in poor daytime driving conditions, allowing pedestrians, other vehicles, and drivers to detect and recognize each other earlier and more effectively, thereby preventing accidents in advance and ensuring driving safety. Features of DRL: DRL lights are a new type of green light source that does not contain heavy metals such as mercury. They are pollution-free, noiseless, free from electronic interference, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and safe and reliable. Additionally, the entire set of daytime running lights uses LED light sources, which have low energy consumption—only 15% of that of conventional car lights. Usage of DRL: When the car engine starts, the LED daytime running lights automatically turn on and gradually increase in brightness to attract the attention of other motor vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrians on the road. When night falls and the driver manually turns on the low-beam headlights, the LED daytime running lights automatically turn off.

Where is the VIN located on a Nissan Sylphy?

Nissan Sylphy's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be seen on the windshield directly in front of the driver's seat. Another location is inside the engine compartment, where the number can be read after removing the cover. Generally, both the VIN and engine number are required for vehicle registration. Below is more information about the VIN: 1. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), known in Chinese as the vehicle identification code, is a unique set of characters assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. 2. The VIN is a 17-character alphanumeric code, also referred to as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The combination of characters in the VIN ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for each vehicle. Hence, it is often called the 'car's ID card'.

Should You Use High Beam or Low Beam When Driving on the Highway at Night?

When driving on the highway at night, it is advisable to use high beams because the lighting conditions on highways are generally poor, and vehicles travel at high speeds. Streetlights alone are insufficient to provide adequate illumination distance for vehicles, and low beams also fail to meet the lighting requirements for highway driving, making it difficult for drivers to observe road conditions. Under normal driving conditions, turn on your night lights and width indicator lights. If there are no vehicles ahead, you may appropriately use high beams to briefly observe the road and surrounding conditions at a greater distance, then quickly switch back to low beams. When encountering oncoming traffic, alternate between high and low beams. If there is a vehicle ahead or an oncoming vehicle, always remember to switch from high beams to low beams. When overtaking, switch from high beams to low beams in advance, turn on your turn signal to inform the vehicle in front of your position and intention.
