How To Use The Car Lighting System Correctly

First of all, let's take a look at the lighting system of the car, which is mainly related to driving lights, low lights, high beams, fog lights, turn signals, reverse lights and so on. Let's take a look at how to use them correctly.
Running lights: that is, we commonly known as the "small lights", are generally the first gear of the light switch, when the instrument lights in the car are all lit, the front and rear will also light two small lights, the brightness of the two lights is not large, mainly in order to make the four corners of the body can be seen. Generally, this light should be lit in dark days, rainy days or in dark places such as underground parking lots.
Low light: used at night when driving in urban areas. On the one hand, urban roads are illuminated by street lights, and there is no need for high beams to scan the distant road surface, just see the road condition in front of the car; On the other hand, the traffic flow of urban roads is large, and the high-beam is not only blinding when the other vehicle meets, but also affecting the line of sight of pedestrians on both sides of the road. In the case of heavy rain, snow and other energy, not only the visibility is very low, but also the braking distance of the vehicle will increase a lot, so it is best to turn on the near-light at this time, so that other vehicles can find themselves at the farthest distance.
High beam light: When the high beam light is on, the instrument panel of the car will light up a striking blue light for prompt. In the wilderness or no street lighting on the road is more suitable to use the high beam, but remember to meet the car should be changed back to the near light, so as not to cause the other driver glare. If there are many vehicles on the road, it is best to switch to the near-light mode when approaching the vehicle in front, which can reduce the interference to the driver in front.
Many drivers like to honk when overtaking on the highway, in fact, because the engine noise and wind noise of the vehicle are very large when the speed is faster, honking the front car is difficult to hear, especially those trucks, so when overtaking the horn, it is better to dial the light lever up a few times, with the high beam to prompt the vehicle in front.
Turn signal: The most basic use of the turn signal is to give other vehicles and passers-by turning signals when the vehicle turns to remind others to pay attention. Sometimes turn signals can also serve as lighting in narrow places so that drivers can observe obstacles on both sides. When the turn signals on both sides are turned on at the same time, it plays a warning and wide role. When turning left out of the road without a central divider on the road, turning around or pulling over, you should turn the turn signal in advance, and switch the headlight to the low light, because if you turn the turn signal with the high beam on, the pedestrians and vehicles on the opposite side are dazed by the headlight, and it is difficult to see the flashing of the turn signal.
Danger alarm flash: that is, we often say "double flash", "bungee light", it as a signal, mainly used to remind other vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to the special situation of the car. So, what is the use of bungee lights? First, when a fault occurs on the road or a traffic accident occurs, and second, when a motor vehicle is towed with a fault, the tractor and the towed vehicle should turn on the danger alarm flash. Some friends in the encounter of fog, rain, snow, dust, hail and other poor visibility weather conditions like to open the bungee light, but at this time the turn signal will lose the steering prompt function, so in this case it is best to use the low light and fog light, try not to use the bungee light, if used, in the lane change turning must be more observed before and after the situation. In addition, when the motor vehicle is driving on the road, the danger alarm flash cannot be turned on at will.
Fog lights: It is easy to understand from the name, fog lights are light signals used in foggy weather, fog lights have stronger penetration in the fog, so it is easier for vehicles or pedestrians to notice early. Some friends like to turn on fog lights and high-beam lights when driving in foggy days, think that you can see farther, in fact, this effect is not good, because the Angle of high-beam light is easy to make the light have a larger scattering, its penetration in foggy days is the worst, then you should turn on the front and back fog lights, use low-light lights, slow down the car.
Reverse lights: When reversing, there will be a white reverse light at the back of the car, which can illuminate the road surface and obstacles at the back of the car, reduce the blind area when reversing, and on the other hand, it is also a reminder of the rear pedestrians. Reverse lights are associated with reverse gear, do not need to operate separately, but if the reverse light fails, it should be repaired in time to avoid danger when driving at night.
