The headlight rain and fog mode is designed to improve the brightness of the headlights, reduce the angle of illumination, and disperse the lighting range, achieving better lighting effects in foggy conditions. It primarily serves as an auxiliary lighting function, providing a certain level of safety for driving in foggy weather, making it a highly practical configuration. The following are explanations on increasing LED brightness and expanding the headlight illumination range: Increasing LED brightness: By enhancing the brightness of the LED light units, the illumination angle is reduced, and the scattering range is expanded, achieving effective lighting in foggy conditions. Expanding the headlight illumination range: Activating this function can increase the illumination range of the headlights, reducing glare caused by rain and fog reflections. Both high beams and low beams can be used for nighttime lighting. High beams enhance visibility and expand the observation range. On dark roads without streetlights, the visible distance with high beams is significantly greater than with low beams alone. Low beams are intended for close-range illumination, with a short illumination distance and non-adjustable focus, typically covering about 30-40 meters.

A friend of mine with years of driving experience told me that the headlight rain and fog mode is a special setting for headlights in rainy or foggy weather, mainly to make the light more dispersed and shine at a low angle, avoiding glare caused by rain or fog that could affect visibility. Specifically, this mode usually turns on the rear fog light as a warning light, while the headlight beam is lowered or not directly shining forward, improving safety in low visibility conditions. I once used this function on a highway during a heavy rainstorm, and felt that after turning it on, the white fog in front of me didn't flash anymore, making it easier to see road signs and obstacles. The operation is very simple—just find a button near the steering wheel or on the dashboard that looks like a raindrop or fog and press it to turn it on, and turn it off to restore normal lights. But be careful not to keep it on for long on overpasses, as it may disturb the cars behind. Regular maintenance checks on the lighting system and the car manual are important; if the rain and fog mode doesn't work, it might be due to a bulb failure or wiring issue that needs timely repair. Make it a habit to enable it on foggy days, combined with slowing down and maintaining a safe distance—safety is no small matter.

What Lights to Use on Unlit Roads?

When driving at night on roads without streetlights or under poor lighting conditions, you should turn on the headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. Here is some relevant information: 1. Legal Basis: According to Article 58 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when driving at night without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in situations of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, motor vehicles must turn on the headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. However, when a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, high beams should not be used. In foggy conditions, motor vehicles must turn on the fog lights and hazard warning flashers. 2. High Beams Are Only for Special Circumstances: When driving at night, it is usually sufficient to use low beams for illumination, as they do not shine directly into the eyes of oncoming drivers, making them relatively safer.

How to Handle a Car That Has Been Used for 15 Years?

Here are the methods for handling a car that has been used for 15 years: 1. Mandatory scrapping of the car: From certain perspectives, this has some rationality. First, there are safety requirements. After a car has been used for a certain number of years and traveled a certain distance, factors such as wear and tear may affect the safety of the car. Another factor is that in the early stages of the automotive industry's development, appropriate and necessary mandatory updates were beneficial for the growth of the automotive industry. 2. The new version of the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles" stipulates: (1) Non-operational small, micro passenger cars and large cars will no longer have a 15-year limit but will be scrapped based on mileage. Vehicles that reach 600,000 kilometers will be "guided to scrap." If a private car is well-maintained and has not reached 600,000 kilometers after 15 years, it can still continue to be driven. (2) Vehicles that do not undergo annual inspections for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection period or fail the annual inspection for three consecutive cycles and thus do not obtain the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark should be mandatorily scrapped. (3) The inspection cycle for motor vehicles will also vary depending on the model and condition of the vehicle. Typically, small private cars require inspection every 2 years within the first 6 years, every year from 6 to 15 years, and every half year after 15 years.

What Should Be Done During the First Car Maintenance?

During the first maintenance of a new car, the primary tasks include changing the engine oil and replacing the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter). 1. Changing the engine oil: Engine oil is the lubricant for the engine's operation. It plays a crucial role in lubricating, cleaning, cooling, sealing, and reducing friction in the engine. It significantly reduces wear on engine components and extends their service life. You can determine whether the oil needs to be changed by observing if its viscosity has changed, if its smell has faded, or if its color has altered. 2. Oil filter: The oil filter is a component that filters the engine oil. Engine oil contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, metal shavings from friction between parts, impurities from inhaled air, and oil oxides are all filtered by the oil filter. If the oil is not filtered and directly enters the oil circulation system, it will adversely affect the engine's performance and lifespan. 3. Air filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it can accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe cylinder scoring. The air filter's role is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient, clean air enters the cylinder. 4. Fuel filter: The fuel filter provides clean fuel to the engine by filtering out moisture and impurities from the gasoline. This optimizes the engine's performance and provides the best protection for the engine.

What are the precautions for driving in rainy weather?

Here are the precautions for driving in rainy weather: 1. Prevent tire skidding: The ground is wet in rainy weather, and the friction of rubber tires is greatly reduced when wet, which can easily cause tire skidding. Therefore, avoid sudden braking when turning; it's best to decelerate in a straight line before entering the curve. In case of an emergency requiring sudden braking, stay calm—either steer to avoid or brake in a straight line. Avoid braking and swerving simultaneously, as it won't help. 2. Reduce fogging: If it suddenly starts raining while driving, the temperature drops, and the windshield temperature also decreases. The water vapor inside the car condenses into fog on the windshield, obstructing visibility. In this case, turn on the air conditioning and direct it toward the windshield. 3. Master driving through water: Be cautious on roads with standing water, generally driving straight at low speed without stopping randomly. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, detour. 4. Purchase water damage insurance: Car insurance includes water damage coverage, but most taxis do not have it. Hence, they often avoid working in heavy rain. For private cars, it's advisable to have water damage insurance to claim compensation from the insurer if the car gets flooded. 5. Avoid swerving: Some people, annoyed by rain after washing their cars, tend to swerve around small puddles, which can confuse following vehicles about the driving path and lead to rear-end collisions.
