Locate the headlight lever on the left side of the steering wheel. Pull the headlight lever towards the driver to turn on the headlights, release to turn them off. To flash twice, pull the lever twice.

I remember when I first started driving, I was really curious about how to quickly flash the headlights twice to signal other drivers. Later, with a friend's guidance, I tried it and realized the key is the turn signal lever on the left side of the steering wheel. You just need to gently pull or push it toward yourself—don't pull it all the way or lock it in position, just halfway and then release—and the headlights will flash once. Repeat the same action to flash them twice. This feature is super handy on highways to signal the car ahead when overtaking or to alert pedestrians crossing the road. I used to do it wrong by pulling too hard, which activated the turn signal instead, confusing others. Small differences between car models also affect the feel—for example, my domestic car's lever is lighter and easier to operate, while imported cars require a bit more force. I recommend beginners practice a few times to avoid mistakes. Using polite light flashes during safe driving can reduce conflicts—just don’t misuse it and cause trouble.

As a seasoned driver with over two decades of experience, I find the double-flash headlight technique quite practical. The control is conveniently located on the turn signal stalk—just a quick push-pull motion, releasing immediately after each flick. It's an effortless way to signal trailing vehicles to maintain distance or prompt slower cars ahead to yield. However, avoid overreliance; miscommunication could occur if lights fail to activate. I've witnessed novices accidentally locking the stalk, inadvertently engaging turn signals instead. Always verify safe road conditions before flashing—avoid unnecessary light bursts in foggy weather that may impair visibility. These simple precautions prevent minor incidents, making habitual safe driving a priority.

When I first got my driver's license, I accidentally learned how to flash the lights. Just lightly flick the lever next to the steering wheel twice quickly without hesitation. This trick has helped me avoid several close calls, like warning pedestrians when parking roadside. Car enthusiast groups often discuss this technique - the lever position is consistent across most vehicles, just remember not to randomly press buttons on it.

How to adjust the car seat backrest?

Seat backrest adjustment method: Rotate the adjustment knob on the left side of the seat to adjust according to your body size, with a maximum tilt of one to two segments. When adjusting, use the strength of your back to adjust the backrest angle until your palm can comfortably press against the upper end of the steering wheel. Here are some additional tips: Precautions for seat adjustment: Adjust the angle of the seat backrest so that it supports your lower back. Avoid leaving your lower back unsupported when leaning back to reduce fatigue during driving. The car driver's seat is most protective of the lower back when the seat surface and backrest are tilted at approximately 100 degrees. This is because when the body leans back at a 100-degree angle, it slightly reclines, which naturally aligns with the slight backward curve of the waist. Additionally, at this angle, the raised design in the lumbar area of the car seat most effectively reduces pressure on the lower back.
