Where is the high beam located?

On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a set of light combination switches. At night, rotating the combination switch forward one notch turns on the dashboard lights, rotating it another notch turns on the low beam, and rotating it one more notch turns on the high beam. Additional information: Precautions: 1. When the vehicle speed automatically slows down and the engine sound becomes muffled: This indicates that the driving resistance has increased, and the car is either going uphill or driving onto a soft road surface. Conversely, it indicates that the driving resistance has decreased or the car is going downhill. 2. When the lights leave the road surface: Be aware that there may be a sharp bend or a large pothole ahead, or the car may be reaching the top of a hill. 3. When the lights shift from the center of the road to one side: This indicates a curve ahead. When the lights shift from one side of the road to the other, it indicates that the vehicle has entered a series of curves, and the driver should slow down and keep to the right.
I've been driving for over a decade, so I'm very familiar with the high beam position—it's on the left stalk behind the steering wheel! This same lever controls the turn signals too. After turning on the low beams, push the stalk forward once, and a blue indicator light will appear on the dashboard, signaling that the high beams are activated. To flash your high beams at oncoming traffic as a reminder, just gently pull the stalk toward you. The position is basically the same across different car models, though the stalk design might vary slightly. On highways without streetlights, high beams can illuminate the road up to a hundred meters ahead, but you must switch back to low beams when meeting oncoming traffic, or you'll blind the other driver. Never use high beams in rainy weather—the reflection off water vapor makes it even harder to see the road.
