How to use far and near alternating lights
During driving, the correct use of alternating far and near lights is not only a courtesy, but also an important way to ensure driving safety. This article will start from hot topics and combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of the usage scenarios, operation methods and precautions of alternating far and near lights.
1. Hot topics and content on the entire network in the past 10 days
| hot topics | heat index | Main discussion points |
|---|---|---|
| Regulations for the use of night driving lights | ★★★★★ | Traffic accidents caused by misuse of high beam lights |
| Beginner’s guide to road lighting operation | ★★★★☆ | Teaching techniques for switching between high and low beam lights |
| Smart car automatic lighting system | ★★★☆☆ | Evaluation of automatic high and low beam switching technology |
2. The function of alternating far and near lights
Alternating far and near lights are mainly used in the following scenes:
1. Remind the oncoming vehicle to switch to low beam when meeting another vehicle.
2. Signal the vehicle in front to pay attention before overtaking.
3. Passing through an intersection without signal lights
4. Issue a warning when encountering pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles
| Usage scenarios | Recommended operating frequency | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting reminder | 1-2 times alternating | Start operation from 200 meters away |
| overtaking signal | 2-3 times alternating | Use with turn signal |
3. Correct operation method of alternating far and near lights
1. Confirm the position of the vehicle light control lever (usually on the left side of the steering wheel)
2. Keep the low beam on
3. Quickly move the control lever toward the steering wheel and then return it immediately
4. The interval between each operation is about 1 second to avoid continuous rapid switching.
| Vehicle type | Operation mode | Special instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional fuel vehicle | Mechanical lever operation | Need to return manually |
| New energy vehicles | Electronic lever or touch | Some models have automatic return function |
4. Common mistakes and precautions
1.Error:Keep high beam on for a long time
Correct approach:Switch to low beam headlights in advance when meeting another car
2.Error:Use high beam headlights in foggy weather
Correct approach:Turn on fog lights + low beam
3.Error:Switch lights frequently and quickly
Correct approach:Maintain a moderate switching frequency
According to the latest traffic regulations, anyone who misuses high beam headlights will be fined 200 yuan and deducted 1 point. When driving at night, the rational use of alternating far and near lights can not only avoid fines, but also significantly improve driving safety.
5. Development Trends of Intelligent Lighting Systems
With the development of automobile intelligence, more and more models are equipped with automatic high and low beam switching systems (AHB). This type of system uses cameras to identify oncoming vehicles and automatically switch lighting modes. However, drivers still need to master manual operation skills in case the system fails.
The correct use of alternating far and near lights is an essential skill for every driver. We hope that the introduction in this article can help you use vehicle lights safer and more standardizedly, and jointly create a good night driving environment.
