Subject Three's light switch is mostly located below the steering wheel. The precautions for the Subject Three lighting test are as follows: 1. Stay focused: During the test, concentrate to avoid missing or mishearing instructions. 2. Voice prompts: The voice prompts include scenarios like passing under an arch bridge at night, crossing a pedestrian crossing at night, navigating sharp curves or slopes at night, and passing through intersections without traffic signals at night. In all three cases, you should alternately use the high and low beams (flashing more than twice). 3. Quick operation: During the test, lighting operations must be completed within 5 seconds after the voice prompt ends. Don't be slow, but also don't act before the prompt is finished.

The light switch for the Subject 3 driving test is actually located on the left control lever next to the steering wheel. Students taking the test in Jetta or Santana models frequently use this position. The top of the lever can be rotated to adjust lighting modes - for example, the low beam should be turned to the middle position, while the high beam is activated by pushing the lever all the way forward. There's also a small button on the side of the lever shaft; pressing it performs a temporary light flash. I recommend students pay more attention to this area during practice, because the test absolutely doesn't allow looking down at the console - you must locate everything by touch. Some newer car models have switched to button-style switches near the steering wheel, but the older training cars at test centers mostly retain the lever design. As soon as you get in the car, feel for this lever on the left side - spending three minutes familiarizing yourself with its position before the test is more valuable than anything else.

The most headache-inducing part of the driving test (Subject 3) is the light operation. The switch is on the lever sticking out from the left side of the steering wheel. If your test vehicle is a Santana training car, the top of the lever can be rotated. Turning it right to the first notch activates the position lights, and another turn activates the headlights. Pushing the lever forward switches to high beam, while pulling it back returns to low beam. For the flashing light operation, quickly pull the lever back twice. Remember not to use excessive force—I once broke the control lever during a mock test. Different car models may vary; for example, some vehicles have a rotary knob switch with icons on the left side of the dashboard. The key is to remember that test vehicles are usually older models, often using lever switches. Before the test, confirm the car model at your test center and adjust the seat properly to get a feel for the controls.

The light switch is typically located on the lower left side of the driver's seat near the steering wheel. There are two common types: a rotary knob on the left panel of the dashboard with light icons, and a lever-style switch extending from behind the steering wheel. Most driving test vehicles (e.g., China's Subject 3 exam) use the lever design, requiring clear differentiation between three operation zones: rotating the lever head, pushing/pulling the lever body. For example, twisting the lever head to the second position turns on low beams, pushing outward activates high beams, and quickly pulling toward the body flashes the lights. Each movement should be gentle – excessive force may accidentally trigger the windshield wipers.
