When the electric power steering warning light comes on, the owner needs to find a safe place to park the vehicle. The illumination of this warning light may indicate a fault in the vehicle's electric power steering system. There are three types of power steering systems in cars: electric power steering (EPS), electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS), and mechanical hydraulic power steering (MHPS). The electric power steering system provides steering assistance directly through an electric motor and does not have hydraulic components. Both electro-hydraulic and mechanical hydraulic power steering systems include hydraulic mechanisms, with the electro-hydraulic system adding electronic components to the mechanical hydraulic system.

What is the symbol for turning on the headlights?

The symbol for turning on the headlights consists of light lines slanting downward and light lines pointing straight forward, representing low beam and high beam, respectively. Both low beam and high beam are primarily used for nighttime illumination, with the difference being that low beams have a lower angle and shorter range, while high beams have a higher angle and longer range. Below is an extended introduction about car headlights: 1. Function: The main purpose of car headlights is to provide illumination for nighttime driving. Car headlights are also referred to as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights. As the 'eyes' of a car, they not only relate to the owner's external image but are also closely tied to safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. 2. Types: (1) By purpose: Car lights can be divided into two categories—illumination and auxiliary. Among them, only the headlights and some fog lights equipped on certain cars serve an illumination function, while the rest are auxiliary lights. (2) By category: Currently, there are four types of car headlights: laser headlights, LED car headlights, xenon headlights, and halogen lights.
