Car Lights Controls Explained – High Beam, Low Beam, Fog Light and Side Indicators.
- High Beam & Low Beam
Low Beam: Used for normal night driving, city driving, and when there is oncoming traffic. - High Beam: Used for highways, dark roads with no streetlights. Avoid using it in traffic to prevent blinding other drivers.
How to switch between them: Demonstrate the light control stick and how to toggle between high and low beams. - Fog Lights
Purpose: Used in foggy, rainy, or misty conditions to enhance visibility.
How to activate: Show the fog light switch/button (varies by car model).
Difference from headlights: Explain that fog lights are placed lower and have a wider spread to illuminate the road better in low visibility. - Side Indicators (Turn Signals)
Purpose: Used to indicate turns, lane changes, or merging into traffic.
How to use:
Push the indicator stick up for a right turn.
Push it down for a left turn.
Hazard Lights (Emergency Lights): Show how to activate hazard lights for emergencies (usually a red triangle button). - Additional Tips
Always switch to low beam in city traffic to avoid blinding others.
Use fog lights only when necessary, as improper use can cause glare.
Always turn off high beam when another vehicle is approaching.
Regularly check and maintain all lights for proper functioning.
