08 Focus light switch settings

First, turn the light switch to the right to turn on the position lights.

When this light is turned on, two small lights will light up in the front, the tail light will light up in the back, and the dashboard light will light up in the car, and the background lights of the stereo and air conditioner will light up.

In terms of scope of use, using this lamp for lighting is "unclear". Therefore, the function of this lamp is not to illuminate the exterior of the car, but to illuminate the interior of the car. For example, if you need to check the driving computer data at night, etc. In addition, according to regulations, if a vehicle is involved in an accident at night and is parked on the roadside, a warning sign should be set up and this light and the emergency alarm light should be turned on.

Second, turn the light switch to the right twice to turn on the headlights.

The so-called headlights are the high and low beams. The high and low beams of the original car cannot be turned on at the same time, that is, the switching of the high and low beams. The switching handle is on the lower left side of the steering wheel. You can switch the high and low beams by moving it up and down. Modified lights (such as my Jiuding near-xenon and far-halogen lights) turn on the low beam when the low beam is on, and when the high beam is on the high and low beams are on at the same time.

Scope of use, according to the requirements, the turning on of the car lights is accompanied by the turning on of the street lights, that is, when the street lights are turned on, the low beam must be turned on. If there are no street lights on the road, the lights should be turned on at 7 p.m. According to the requirements, only the low beam can be turned on on the road sections with street lights, and the high beam cannot be turned on (because the high beam dazzles the eyes). If you encounter a road section without street lights, in principle you can turn on the high beam, but I generally don't turn on the high beam. Because turning on the high-beam headlights will dazzle the eyes of the vehicle in front, the person in front of the oncoming vehicle, and the eyes of oncoming pedestrians. I believe that many people have been shaken by it, and it is really uncomfortable. Therefore, what I usually do on this kind of road section is to turn on the high beam to see clearly the situation of the road ahead, then switch to low beam, walk for a while, if necessary, turn on the high beam, and then turn it off in time.

Third, pull the light switch upward (BA, not BO) to turn on the front fog lights.

Turn on this light and the two front fog lights will light up. This light cannot be pulled up when the light switch is turned off, but it can be pulled up in the marker light section or the headlight section.

Scope of use, as the name suggests, fog lights should be turned on in foggy weather, and should not be turned on on sunny nights without fog. Many drivers have a bad habit of turning on the front and rear fog lights together as soon as they turn on the lights. In fact, this does not increase a lot of lighting, but it seriously dazzles the eyes of people in front of and on the opposite side of the vehicle, causing light pollution. . This approach is very wrong. But at the same time, I would like to add that fog lights should not be used at the same time as high beam, but can be used at the same time as low beam. Because when it is really in the fog, the more you turn on the high beam, the more your eyes will be blinded and you can't see anything. At this time, the penetrating fog lights really come into play.

Fourth, pull the light switch up two sections to turn on the rear fog lights.

When this light is turned on, the rear fog lights will light up at the same time, and the use range is the same as the front fog lights. But I would like to add that many new students don’t know that most cars only have one rear fog light. Because the rear fog lamp has a dazzling effect (that is, it will dazzle the eyes of people driving behind the vehicle), only one rear fog lamp is designed. A very few models now also have dual rear fog lights, but Volkswagen models like Bora have only one rear fog light, on the left side.

Fifth, let’s talk about the turning light combination.

Dialing it down means turning left, dialing it right means turning right, dialing it up or down means switching between far and near lights, and lifting it up means "changing" the far and near lights (that is, shaking the headlight as we often say) .

Let’s talk about the scope of use. Everyone knows that you need to use the turn signal when turning, but many drivers on the road don’t seem to know that they need to use the turn signal when changing lanes (or else they knowingly do so). When changing lanes, you must turn on the turn signal, otherwise it will be very unsafe and you will easily get scolded. Another point to add is that the current traffic law stipulates that you cannot continuously change two or more lanes, that is, you can only merge into one lane at a time. You cannot merge the two roads at once. At the same time, I would like to add a little more about the role of left steering. This is not a traffic law regulation, but a convention among drivers. Some people really don’t know that on the leftmost lane of the highway, turning left means giving way to the vehicle in front. . Everyone knows that the left turn signal is for overtaking, but sometimes the person in the far left lane still turns on the left signal. Where is he going to go? He is not merging into the opposite lane, but asking you to give him the right of way. Of course, if you are driving slowly enough and encounter a car behind you that is flashing its left light, you should merge to the right and give way to others.

At the same time, on the highway, if the car in front is very slow, you can also turn left and ask him to give you the way. People who often drive on the highway will usually give way to you when they see this kind of light. Let’s talk about changing the range of use of far and near lights to remind other vehicles to pay attention. Generally speaking, when you meet another car, if the other person continues to turn on the high beam and dazzles your eyes, you should change the high and low beam to remind the other person to pay attention. Generally speaking, when the other person sees it, he will change it to Low beam. But there are also those ruthless people who just refuse to change to low beam. According to traffic regulations, you should pull over and turn into low beam to let him pass. Of course, there will be a breath issue here. This is not what I do. If the other party is using high beam, I will shine it twice and give the other party time to change to low beam. If the other party does not change, I will also change to high beam to let him know the feeling of being waved. . Although the traffic law does not stipulate this, I feel that many people do this in life.

Sixth, let’s talk about emergency warning lights.

In the middle of the center console, there is a red triangle mark. Press it and the left and right steering lights will light up at the same time.

Scope of use, emergency alarm is to tell others that you are in an abnormal state. Generally speaking, emergency warning lights should be turned on after an accident. When the car breaks down or there is an emergency, the emergency warning lights should also be turned on. In fact, this light is most useful for novices, because it is generally easy for novices to hold back their cars. If they hold back their cars, it is easy for the car behind them to honk their horns if they see that you are not moving away. However, if you press the emergency alarm lights, generally speaking, , the car behind you will not honk its horn wildly, because it knows that you are "in an abnormal state" and will usually bypass you or wait for you to start. In addition, according to traffic laws, when you are temporarily parked, you should also turn on the emergency lights and erect a warning sign behind the car. In addition, let me talk about another conventional usage, that is, when traveling in a team, especially a team that is not familiar with each other's cars (for example, car friends will go out on Facebook), they often turn on the double flashers at the same time to confirm and avoid following each other. The car was following the wrong car.

Okay, let’s talk about the lighting so much. Finally, when the lighting fails, it should be repaired in time, otherwise JCSS will fine you if it sees it. If you have a problem with your car, ask the car guru. Professional technicians from 4S stores can solve the problem in 10 minutes.
