There are many novice friends who may have just finished taking the driving license test, but after taking the notebook and going on the road, they found that they had forgotten all the lights they learned in the driving school, or they did not know how to apply them at all. The correct use of lights not only provides lighting, but more importantly, enables silent communication with other drivers on the road.
So Brother Agui is here to give a complete analysis of car lighting applications for novice friends. I hope everyone will become an experienced driver as soon as possible!
First, let’s get to know the lever-type light switch on the car.
That's it. In addition to lever-type light switches, there are also knob-type light switches.
The lever-type light switch is the most commonly used now and is also the most recognized form of light operation by the public.
Except for the hazard warning light, also known as the double flash light button, which is pressed separately on the center console, all the lights in the car are basically controlled by this rod.
1. Left and right turn signals
Lifting the lever up turns on the right turn signal, pressing it down turns on the left turn signal, and returning it to the middle turns off the turn signal.
The left and right turn lights can be said to be the most frequently used during driving. In addition to turning left and right and changing lanes, left and right turn lights can also play a role in communicating with drivers ahead and behind you.
For example, if you are driving behind a car and want to change lanes or overtake, you can turn on the left turn signal in advance. Then the cars in front and behind will know that you want to change lanes, and the car in front will usually turn on the right turn signal accordingly. This means that he has agreed to your overtaking and is ready to give way. At this time, you can overtake.
And if you turn on the left turn signal and want to change lanes, but the car in front also turns on the left turn signal, and may also lean a little to the left, in this case, it may not be that the car in front is deliberately avoiding you, but it may be a reminder. You cannot change lanes (oncoming traffic, lane narrowing, etc.). You should pay special attention to this situation when following a large truck, because the large vehicle in front will block your field of vision and the road conditions ahead will be unclear. If a large car flashes its light to the left to remind you that you cannot change lanes, then you must give up changing lanes in time and follow the car honestly. Wait for the car in front to signal you to turn right before changing lanes.
2. Low beam, high beam
Rotate the top layer of the light switch to the low beam mark to turn on the low beam.
In low-beam mode, hook the lever toward you to switch to high beam, and hook it again to switch back to low-beam.
As long as you are driving at night in a bright environment, you can turn on the low beam headlights. Unlike low beams that illuminate the ground ahead, high beams shine directly and have a longer illumination distance, making them suitable for roads without lighting.
However, you must switch to low beam when following or meeting cars at close range, otherwise the high beam will directly illuminate the oncoming car or the driver of the car in front. The driver's field of vision directly illuminated by the high beam will be blocked to a great extent, making traffic accidents very easy to occur.
Do you feel like you can't open your eyes just looking at the pictures?
3. Position lights
Rotating the light lever pointer to this mark means turning on the position lights.
As the name suggests, position lights are lights that mark the outline of a car. It is mostly suitable for driving at dusk and night when there is not enough light, or when the vehicle breaks down and is parked on the roadside, it lights up together with the double flash. The front and rear position lights are illuminated to allow people or cars around you to determine the width of the vehicle to avoid collision accidents. It should be noted that the brightness of the position lights is not high and cannot be used instead of low beam lights.
4. Fog lights
This is similar to low beam and high beam, but if the light direction is blocked by ripples, it is a sign of fog lights. Turn the light lever towards this symbol to turn on the fog lights.
Fog lights are mainly used in low visibility environments such as foggy days, rainy days, and winter rain and snow. Compared with commonly used low beam and high beam lights, the large yellow light of fog lights is more penetrating and can have a better effect than low beam when visibility is poor.
5. Hazard warning lights
Hazard warning lights are also commonly known as double flashing lights. They can be turned on by pressing this button.
Double flashing lights are generally used when a vehicle breaks down and is temporarily parked. In addition to turning on the double flashing lights, a warning sign must be placed at a distance of 50 meters (general roads) or 150 meters (highway) according to current road requirements. car to avoid accidents.
