Do you know the car lights? How to use them
Sihaiwang: do you know some of the icons of the steam lamp light? Without proper use of car lights, it's very dangerous on the road at night! Today, I'd like to introduce you to the use and function of car lights.
Fog lamp
From the name, it is easy to understand that fog lamp is a light signal used in the fog weather, and the penetration of fog lamp in the fog is stronger, so it is easier for vehicles or pedestrians to notice as early as possible. Some friends like to turn on both the fog lamp and the high beam lamp when driving in the fog. They think that they can see farther. In fact, this effect is not good. Because the angle of the high beam lamp is easy to scatter the light, its penetration in the fog is the worst. At this time, they should turn on the front and rear fog lamps, use the low beam lamp and slow down the speed.
Fog lamp can only be used in the weather with poor visibility. Since the halogen bulb with moderate color temperature is used for fog lamp (the color temperature is about 3000K, note that there is no relationship between color temperature and brightness), its divergence ability and penetration ability are relatively strong, so please turn on the fog lamp and turn off the double flash lamp in heavy rain or fog days!
Be sure to turn off your fog lights when visibility is good. Because of the strong divergence ability of fog lamp, although the brightness is not particularly high, it is also easy to shoot into the eyes of the driver, causing danger. Why should this kind of daytime running lamp be handed over to the fog lamp?
cornering lamp
The turn signals are shown on the fender as well as in the rear-view mirror.
The basic purpose of turn signals is to give signals to other vehicles and passers-by when they turn to remind others to pay attention. Sometimes turn signals can also act as lighting in narrow areas, so that drivers can observe obstacles on both sides. When the turn signals at both sides are turned on at the same time, it can serve as warning and width indication. When turning left on the road without central isolation belt and driving out of the road, turning around or pulling over, turn on the turn signal in advance and switch the headlight to the low beam light, because if turning on the high beam light, pedestrians and vehicles on the opposite side will be dazzled by the headlight, so it is difficult to see the flashing of the turn signal.
Hazard warning flasher
As a kind of signal, it is mainly used to remind other vehicles and pedestrians of the special situation of the vehicle. So, under what circumstances do you use double jump lights? First, in case of failure or traffic accident on the road, and second, in case of traction of the failed motor vehicle, both the tractor and the towed vehicle shall turn on the hazard warning flash. Some friends like to turn on the double jump light when encountering the weather conditions with poor visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, hail, etc., but at this time, the turn light will lose the function of direction indication, so it's better to use the low beam light and fog light in this case, and try not to use the double jump light. If you use it, you must observe the situation before and after the turn. In addition, when the motor vehicle is driving on the road, it is not allowed to turn on the hazard warning flash at will.
Reversing lamp
When backing up, there will be a white reversing light on the rear of the car. On the one hand, it can light up the road and obstacles at the rear of the car, reduce the blind area when backing up, and on the other hand, it is a reminder to the people at the rear of the car. Reversing lamps are all associated with reverse gear, so they need not be operated alone. However, if the reversing lamps fail, they should be repaired in time to avoid danger when driving at night.
Daytime running lights
Also known as daytime running lamp, daytime running lamp is a new concept recently launched. It mostly uses a bright white LED bulb as the light source, which can play a strong warning role in the daytime and looks very dazzling. Since 2011, many countries in Europe have begun to enforce the use of daytime running lights. When the engine daytime running lights are turned on, they will automatically light up and cannot be turned off. The car owners do not have to worry about the power consumption and lamp loss because the daytime running lights are always on, because the LED daytime running lights are safe, green and energy-saving.
The correct use of the light switch plays an important role in the safe driving process. The correct use of car lights can not only protect their own safety, but also create a orderly traffic environment.
Double flashing lights
Double flashing lights are used to alert other road participants in an emergency or temporary stop. Once, Xiaobian encountered another vehicle that was driving in the right most lane and was temporarily parked in the non motorized lane with double flashing lights. Suddenly, it directly changed to Xiaobian's lane, causing Xiaobian to step on the brake. It can be seen that it is also very dangerous not to use turning and double flashing lights.
