Headlights are to cars what eyes are to people. Not only does the shape of the car lights affect whether the entire vehicle is beautiful, but more importantly, the use of the car lights is directly related to safe driving. Although some car owners can drive, they are not so particular about the use of car lights. Did you turn on the turn signal and turn immediately, almost causing a scrape with the vehicle behind you? If you are still a little confused about the use of car lights, then hurry up and take a closer look!
Common functions of car lights
Night lighting is the primary function of car lights. The light switch of most cars is concentrated on the handle on the steering wheel. Most of the lights of Volkswagen cars are on the lower part of the instrument panel on the left hand side of the driver. Before you drive in an unfamiliar car, first find out where the light switches are. At least figure out how to turn on the low beam, high beam and fog lights.
The warning function is another basic function of car lights. Warning lights are like the hand signals of traffic police, a silent language universally used around the world. The double flashing light is the most important warning light. Generally, the switch of the double flashing light is represented by a red triangle and is located in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the instrument panel. When the car has some malfunction or other conditions, it is necessary to turn on the double flash to alert other vehicles to pay attention. Sometimes double flash can even save lives.
The lights on the exterior of the car also include width lights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signals, etc. You have to turn on the turn signal in advance. Many times, some road killers have to turn before they remember to turn on the turn signal. This makes the people driving behind feel uncomfortable!
When high technology and car lights meet
As technology continues to be used in car lights, car lights are developing in the direction of intelligence, humanization and comfort. One of the most famous car lighting technologies now is the headlight system called AFS. The light of this headlight can be adjusted according to road and weather conditions. For example, long ultra-high beams are needed on the highway so that obstacles ahead can be spotted earlier when driving at high speeds. This intelligent active steering light uses two sets of unique optical designs with a central light source to emit maximum light and provide maximum visibility. In addition, there is a small light source that can illuminate additional places around corners or along the road. AFS smart car lights can greatly improve the driver's recognition of road blind spots when turning, reducing blind spots to zero.
In addition, some headlights also have an automatic turn-on function, which will automatically turn on the headlights when it senses that the external light has dimmed. This feature is especially useful when entering a tunnel.
Car light language in several situations
Situation one:
When the light turns green, the vehicle in front does not move. Light language: Flash the headlights once.
Situation two:
Eye light language when encountering strong lights at night: double flashes of the headlights as a reminder, double flashes of light to express dissatisfaction
Situation three:
When you encounter a vehicle, you must merge with the light signal: flash the headlights "Agree", flash the headlights continuously "Reject"
Situation four:
There is a problem with the neighboring car: the headlights flash three times
Situation five:
Light language for following a car too close: brighten the brake lights in stages
Night driving lights language
1When the projection distance of the car light changes from far to near, it means that the car is approaching or entering an uphill slope.
2When the projection distance of the car light changes from near to far, it means that the car is going down a slope or from a steep slope to a gentle slope.
3When the vehicle lights leave the road, it means there is a sharp bend ahead or the vehicle has reached the top of the slope.
4When the vehicle lights move from the middle of the road to the side of the road, it means there is a general curve ahead.
5When the vehicle lights move from one side of the road to the other, it indicates that there is a continuous turning road ahead.
6 When the light emitted by the oncoming vehicle is shorter, it indicates that the oncoming vehicle is approaching the slope; when the light emitted by the oncoming vehicle is separated from the roadbed, it indicates that the oncoming vehicle is approaching the top of the slope.
7When the front car's taillights are bright or dark, it indicates that the front car is far away; when the front car's taillights are brighter, it indicates that the front car is nearby.
8 When the distance between the left and right tail lights of the front car is large, it indicates that the car in front is a large car; when the distance between the left and right tail lights of the front car is small, it indicates that the car in front is a small car.
