Where is the position light in Subject 3?
2 Answers
The control switch for the position light in Subject 3 is located on the light control lever to the left of the steering wheel. For some models, it may be on the light control knob at the lower left of the instrument panel. Simply turn the lever or control knob to the position light setting to activate it. Please note that the position light can only be turned on when the car is powered. The position light, also known as the width light, helps surrounding vehicles and pedestrians see the car. Its brightness is relatively low, making it suitable for use in rainy weather or when it's dim outside. When the width light is turned on, a corresponding indicator icon will appear on the car's instrument panel.
I've been driving for several years now, and I still remember the details of the Category 3 driving test quite clearly. The position lights, also known as the small contour lights on the car, are usually located on both sides near the headlights at the front and near the taillights at the rear. The specific operation switch is on the light control lever to the left or right of the steering wheel; you just twist it to the position marked with a small bulb symbol to turn them on. During driving lessons, the instructor always emphasized that these are the most crucial during the night test—you must turn them on first to display the vehicle's position for safety. Later, when I started driving at night myself, I realized these small lights prevent others from failing to see the car's outline, especially in areas with insufficient road lighting. Not turning them on increases the risk of collisions. I recommend practicing the switching action several times after learning their location to develop a habit—it saves a lot of hassle, especially since failing the test due to such oversights is quite common.
