After buying a new car, many friends find that they don’t know how to use many of the fun functions introduced and demonstrated by the salesperson when buying the car. Some friends will ask the salesperson again, but most of them don’t know how to use it. Some people are too lazy to ask, just forget it if they don’t know how to use it, as long as they know how to drive. In fact, part of the money we spend on buying a car is spent on these configurations. If you don't use these functions, it is equivalent to wasting your hard-earned money. Isn't it a pity? Therefore, the editor has the idea of sorting out and sharing the meanings and operating techniques of various functions and buttons on current cars. Today I publish the first article, about the correct use of car lights. Don’t miss it if you pass by. Welcome everyone. Collect, like, comment, and leave messages to encourage me to create more tutorials.

Icon introduction: AUTO means automatic headlights
How to use: When the white line on the left knob is aligned with AUTO, it means the automatic headlights are turned on.
Usage scenario: After the automatic headlight function is turned on, its photosensitive component (this component will be discussed at the end of the article) will sense the intensity of the light and automatically turn on the car's headlights based on the surrounding light and ambient brightness. This will save trouble and help you concentrate. Avoid distractions while driving, drive safer, and avoid tickets for unlit tunnels.

Usage scenarios: Width lights are used to make other vehicles visible when driving at night. Generally in the evening, the road surface is still clear, but the vehicles in front and behind start to become a bit blurry. At this time, we should think in another's shoes.

Otherwise, it will seriously interfere with the other party's line of sight and may even cause a traffic accident. Do not use high beam headlights when driving in urban areas or on roads with heavy traffic at night.
6. Photosensitive element
Icon introduction: The button-like thing in the red box is the headlight control sensor.
Function introduction: As mentioned earlier, after the automatic headlight function is turned on, the photosensitive component will sense the intensity of the light and automatically turn on the car's headlights based on the surrounding light and ambient brightness. AUTO automatic headlights rely on this photosensitive component to work.
Note: Do not let objects block this position, because if there is an object on the sensor or attachments on the windshield blocking the sensor, the sensor may not work properly. This prevents the sensor from detecting ambient light levels and may cause the automatic headlight system to malfunction.
Car lights are one of the most frequently used functions on the car. Once again, we would like to remind you about the AUTO automatic headlight function. Most cars are equipped with this function, but many car owners have never used this function. I suggest you take a look. Does your car have automatic headlight function? If so, try it quickly.
The editor will continue to write tutorials on vehicle functions. Friends who are interested can follow and save them. They will receive reminders every time they are updated.
