What light is activated when the turn signal is lifted upward?

When the turn signal is lifted upward, the right turn signal is activated. Below is relevant information about turn signals: Introduction to turn signals: Turn signals are important indicator lights activated when a motor vehicle turns to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, with left and right alternating flashes for continuous operation. Turn signals employ a flasher unit to achieve light blinking. They can mainly be categorized into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. Functions of turn signals: To indicate to pedestrians or other vehicles the intended turning direction, either left or right; On highways, they also indicate overtaking and lane change directions; When both left and right turn signals flash simultaneously, it indicates the vehicle has an emergency situation to alert other vehicles.
I used to ponder this question while driving - pulling the turn signal lever upwards usually activates the high beams. I remember my driving instructor specifically emphasized this operation when I was learning. During night driving, when I need to illuminate the road farther ahead, especially on highways or dark rural roads, just pulling the lever makes the lights shine brighter. But be careful not to use this function casually in the city, as it can dazzle oncoming traffic and provoke unfriendly flashing. Safety first - I always make sure it's safe before using high beams, such as briefly turning them on when there's no oncoming traffic or on open highway sections. I recommend beginners practice this switching habit more and ensure proper headlight maintenance to avoid operational errors. Overall, it's a clever design that allows drivers to control lights without taking hands off the wheel.
