Why Does the Parking Light Illuminate When Turning on the Low Beam?

[GabrielaAnn]

Turning on the low beam and seeing the parking light is because the light switch needs to be turned step by step, with the first position being the parking light and the second position being the low beam. Below is a detailed introduction to car lights: 1. Signal lights: Including turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. 2. Turn signals: Activated when the vehicle is turning, flashing intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Brake lights: Highly bright, used to inform the following vehicle that the front vehicle is decelerating or stopping. Improper use of this light can easily lead to rear-end collisions. 4. Night driving lights and parking lights: Driving lights, commonly known as headlights, should be switched to low beam during oncoming traffic and back to high beam afterward to extend visibility and compensate for obscured vision during oncoming traffic. Changing between high and low beams is used to signal when passing intersections or overtaking; parking lights, commonly known as small lights, are used to display the vehicle's width and length at night.
