For driving convenience and traffic safety, the vehicle is equipped with external and internal lighting devices.
The road in front of the car is illuminated by two headlights, which operate in low or high beam modes. The high beam is directed parallel to the road and illuminates the road to the maximum possible distance. High beam is convenient to use when driving on unlit roads. When oncoming traffic appears, in order not to blind the approaching driver, the headlights must be switched from high beam to low beam. In case of heavy oncoming traffic, it is necessary to drive only with low beams. High beams through the rear-view mirror can also blind the driver of the car in front, so if the distance between vehicles in the same direction is small, you need to turn on the low beams.
The low beam must be directed so as to illuminate the section of the road and the shoulder directly in front of the vehicle and not blind oncoming drivers. To illuminate the road in front of the vehicle, fog lights can be additionally installed.
The low beam and fog lights should be checked periodically and adjusted if necessary.
Note: According to the Road Traffic Regulations, it is prohibited to turn on high beams in a populated area if the road is lit. Low beam or daytime running lights (if available) it must be turned on when the vehicle is moving and during daylight hours.
To indicate the position on the road at night, the car is equipped with side lights. Parking light bulbs are installed in the headlights and taillights. Along with the side lights, two rear license plate lights are switched on.
To warn other participants of upcoming maneuvers, the vehicle uses turn signals. The direction indicator lamps are located in the headlights and taillights. Side direction indicators are installed in the side rear-view mirrors. The turn signal lamps are used in hazard warning mode to attract the attention of other drivers.
At the rear, the car is equipped with three brake lights - two in the rear lights and one in the central additional light.
The rear fog light is located in the rear bumper.
The car is equipped with interior and luggage compartment lights. The lamps are switched on automatically when any of the side doors is opened using switches installed in the door openings, or forced by switches on the lamps. The luggage compartment light comes on when the luggage compartment lid is opened.
