What is the symbol for high beam?
2 Answers
Generally, on the dashboard, the high beam symbol is blue with straight, non-tilted light projection lines; the low beam symbol is green with downward-tilted light projection lines. Precautions for using high beams: Normally, low beams are used more frequently. High beams should only be used under specific conditions. Because high beams emit parallel, concentrated, and bright light, they can cause glare and distraction for oncoming drivers, creating potential hazards. Conditions for using high beams: Two conditions must be met to use high beams. First, there should be no other lighting on the road; second, there should be no oncoming traffic. Only when both conditions are satisfied can high beams be used. High beams are typically used when driving on highways. In urban or city roads at night, low beams should be used.
I remember driving for many years, and the high beam indicator is that little icon on the dashboard, resembling a headlight emitting beams, with five rays radiating towards the upper left. Typically, it's blue or bright white, and it lights up to remind you when the high beams are on. This is especially useful when driving at night, particularly on dark highways or remote roads, as it illuminates a greater distance and helps you see the road conditions better. But there's a lesson I learned—once, I forgot to turn off the high beams in the suburbs, and when an oncoming car approached, it nearly caused an accident. Since then, I’ve been very careful to switch back to low beams in time. Safe driving is no small matter, so I always recommend paying attention to dashboard changes and developing good habits.
