You must know that car lights not only provide lighting, but also play a critical warning role. However, the problem of incorrect use of lights is very common on the road. Apart from the driver's personal quality, a large part of the reason for this is that many car owners do not If you are not familiar with the correct way to turn on and off car lights, this issue of Cheshuojun will introduce it to you in detail.
Before using various car lights, we must first know where their switches are. Common car light switches can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the knob type car light switch, and the other is the lever type car light switch. , we introduce them one by one.
1. Knob type car light switch
Here is a picture for you first
Through this picture, I believe everyone has a certain understanding. All vehicles are equipped with the three options of light off, width indicator light, and low beam, and automatic lights mostly appear on high-end models. Depending on the car model, the positions of these options are also different, and we can switch between them simply by turning the knob.
It should be noted that the knobs in the picture above cannot be rotated to the positions of the front fog lights and rear fog lights. This design is very common on Volkswagen cars. So how do we turn on the fog lights? It's actually very simple, just pull the knob upwards, once to turn on the front fog light, and twice to turn on the rear fog light.
There is also a common way to turn on fog lights through buttons. Just press the corresponding button when using it. This design is relatively simple.
2. Lever type car light switch
Let’s take a picture first
The general structure of the lever-type car light switch can be divided into two sections. To turn on the width indicator lights, low beam lights and other parts (the green area in the picture), we need to turn the red area in the picture. To turn on the fog light part (yellow part in the picture), we need to turn the blue part in the picture. It should be noted that the rotation direction will be slightly different depending on the vehicle model.
Finally, Che Shuojun will tell you how to turn on the high beam and turn signal through two pictures.
High beam
Turn signal
To sum up, if the high beam is pulled forward, it will light up once, and when pushed back, it will be on continuously. When the turn signal is pulled up, it will be a right turn signal, and when it is pushed down, it will be a left turn signal.
The methods for turning on the lights of most models on the market are basically covered in this article. Of course, there are also some extremely weird designs. We can check the vehicle manual, which will have detailed introductions. The correct use of car lights is a good safety guarantee for yourself and others. You must be familiar with its usage.
