(Baonghean.vn) - For cars, headlights are a very important and necessary part. However, many people only value the lighting function without paying attention to the effects of headlights.

The following tips on how to use headlights when driving will help ensure safety for you and everyone else.

1. For cars without a headlight off switchWhen driving during the day, you should switch to low beam mode or fog light mode so that the battery can be charged better.

2. On the highway, if the road has a median strip higher than the car's headlights, use your headlights for better visibility. The median strip blocks the light between the two vehicles, so you won't have any problems with your headlights.

3. On highways with low medians, or only solid or broken lines,Use low beams to move, avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles. If the road is clear, turn on high beams to observe, but when you see oncoming vehicle lights, switch back to low beam mode within 150 meters (about 3 seconds at a speed of 90 km/h).

4. Do not use headlights when cornering., because if the opposite car also forgets to turn off its headlights, then the two cars turning on their headlights at the same time will make it impossible for the two drivers to see the road, and the consequence is that the two cars will crash into each other. If you want to pass a car, you should not tailgate that car.High beam mode, maintain a safe distance and turn on the lights to signal to pass.

5. When crossing the street or needing to overtake or remind other vehicles to lower their headlightsthen you should use the on-off headlights. For cars, headlights sometimes work better than the car horn, because when moving, the car is often closed and it is difficult to hear the sound of the horn. While with a few rays of light entering the rearview mirror, the driver can easily recognize the car behind.

6. When getting in the car, pay attention to the headlight indicator light on the center display panel., if it is on it means your headlights are on. This low beam indicator is displayed in a uniform image around the world with an image of a headlight and three horizontal lines showing the low beam status.

7. Do not install headlights with the wrong power or that do not match the vehicle's reflector.Installing poor quality Xenon lights will cause major damage to the vehicle's electrical components, damaged reflectors, unfocused lighting, glare and danger to oncoming drivers.

8. When seeing an oncoming vehicle flashing its headlights,Check your car's headlights to see if they are in low beam mode. This is essential because oncoming drivers can be blinded by your headlights, leading to loss of control and traffic accidents.

How to maintain car headlight system

- Regularly check the lights: KWhen driving for a long time or seeing dirty lights when moving, the car owner needs to check the headlights - low beam, signal lights. In addition, the car owner should also regularly check the condition of the outside reflector of the car to see if it is discolored or yellowed.

- Cleaning the lights: RClean the lights with soap, rinse with water and wipe with a clean cloth; use soft sandpaper soaked in water to wipe the surface of the lights in a straight line; use a clean cloth to wipe again after the headlights are polished.

Using a rubbing compound, sand the headlights until they become clearer; a polishing machine and automotive masking tape can also be used to protect the areas around the headlights.

- Bvirtual headlight maintenance:After a long time of exposure to UV rays from the sun and outside temperature, oxidation leads to yellowing and fading of the lens, so it is necessary to add a layer of polish to the affected lens area and add a layer of UV protection to the headlights.

VCondensation inside the headlights can cause electrical system failure, affecting the quality of the light, so the headlight frame should be removed to dry or clean off all condensation.
