Low beams are generally adjusted between gears 1 and 2. The height of the low beam typically ranges from 0 to 5, where 0 is the highest and 5 is the lowest. Generally, the numbers represent the degree to which the light is adjusted downward; the larger the number, the more the light is lowered. Gear 1 has a minimal reduction, followed by gear 2, while gear 3 has a more significant reduction. Below is a related introduction: Introduction: Low beams are designed for close-range illumination, with the design requirements focusing on a wide range (160 degrees), short projection distance, and non-adjustable focus. Adjustment of height: The adjustment of the light height is primarily based on the number of passengers in the rear seats and the weight of cargo in the trunk. If there are more passengers in the rear seats, the rear of the car will sink lower, causing the front of the car to rise accordingly. This, in turn, raises the height of the headlights, potentially dazzling oncoming drivers and distracting their attention, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.

I've driven quite a few cars and found that the low beam adjustment is crucial. The 1-5 settings adjust the headlight height to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Generally, setting it to 2 is the most hassle-free—when the car is empty, the beams are neither too high nor too low, illuminating the road ahead without being blinding. However, if the car is fully loaded or the trunk is heavily packed, causing the front to sag, you'll need to adjust to around setting 4 to raise the beam. For testing, find a wall at night and check: if the beam's landing point at 10 meters doesn't exceed the headlight height, it's safe. Avoid setting 1 too high, as it might annoy others; setting 5 is too low, making it hard to see the road, which is dangerous. In short, fine-tune according to actual conditions—good visibility is key.

Buddy, after years of driving, I've figured out that you shouldn't mess around with the low beam settings. Setting it at the standard 3rd level is the safest bet—not too high, not too low for safe driving. Why? Levels 1-2 are too high and can dazzle oncoming drivers, which might annoy them and cause accidents; levels 4-5 are too low and make it hard to see potholes, putting your tires at risk. On highways, your lights need to be slightly higher—set at level 4 to help you see further; in the city with plenty of streetlights, level 2 saves power without causing trouble. Every car is designed differently, so test it yourself: when driving at night, make sure your lights are bright within 50 meters without shining into others' eyes. Don't overlook this detail—safety first isn't just talk.

Is it necessary to purchase auto theft insurance for sedans?

Theft insurance can be purchased based on individual needs. If the vehicle itself is of high value and has excellent anti-theft technology, it is generally not necessary to buy. The following three types of car owners are usually advised to purchase theft insurance: 1. New car owners, as stolen vehicles are often dismantled and sold, resulting in significant losses even if recovered; 2. Owners who do not have a fixed garage or frequently travel on business, usually parking in open parking lots or older residential areas without surveillance; 3. Owners of vehicles that are prone to theft, such as the Wuling series, Changan series, etc.

Can Automatic Transmission Cars Stall?

Automatic transmission cars can also stall. Here are the reasons for automatic transmission stalling: 1. Using inferior fuel: Some gas stations sell impure fuel for excessive profits. Prolonged use of low-quality fuel can lead to excessive carbon deposits in the engine, making the car prone to stalling; 2. Clogged fuel lines: Blocked fuel lines are another major cause of stalling, often due to poor fuel quality containing excessive gum deposits that obstruct fuel flow; 3. Insufficient driving skills: Inadequate driving proficiency is another significant factor causing stalling, though this typically applies to novice drivers.
