50% of accidents occur at night, so daily headlight maintenance is crucial

"The eyes are the windows to the soul." From childhood, we know how to do eye exercises and take good care of our eyes. For a car, the lights are its "eyes". We also need to know how to take good care of it and do eye exercises for car lights so that they can always be as bright as new and illuminate your way forward. Headlights are the key to driving safety. Small car lights have a lot of knowledge. They also have strict requirements because of their responsibilities. important safety mission. According to data, 25% of the total mileage of vehicles is driven at night and when there is insufficient natural light, and the personal injury driving accidents that occur in this situation account for 33% of the total traffic accidents, and 50% of the fatalities The accident occurred at night. The headlights have two modes: high beam and low beam. The low beam is used in the city or when passing cars. The high beam has a high illumination angle, illuminates farther, and has a wide vision. It is suitable for use on roads outside the city. . Reasonable use of headlights should be done as follows: use low beam when meeting cars; when passing through intersections and overtaking, change the high and low beams to indicate that the farther the headlight illumination distance is, the illumination angle is appropriate, and the light distribution characteristics are better, the better the car's light distribution characteristics will be. The higher the driving safety, the first two points are easier for us to understand, but some people may not understand the light distribution characteristics. The brightness distribution characteristics represented by the iso-illuminance curve are called light distribution characteristics. The light distribution characteristics of automobile headlights are internationally divided into two categories, one is the American (SAE) standard and the other is the European (ECE) standard. Our country stipulates that the low beam of headlights adopts the ECE standard (asymmetric light distribution), and requires good illumination of the high beam, sufficient illumination of the low beam and not dazzling. Headlight maintenance requires more attention to the headlights. For driving safety, we must pay attention to maintenance. You can start with the following points to prepare: 1. Pay more attention to whether the car lights are working normally. Normally checking the car lights is not as simple as just looking at them. When checking the car lights, you need to check whether various types of car lights are working properly. . In addition, check whether the headlight illumination direction is offset and whether the light brightness is sufficient. Check the working status of the car lights regularly, and understand the status of the car lights as early as possible to prevent accidents. 2. Regularly replace car light bulbs. Car headlight bulb consumables also have a fixed service life. The light bulb will become dimmer after being used for a long time, and the irradiation distance will also become shorter, which will also have an impact on driving at night and is a major safety hazard. 3. Clean the lampshade frequently. When a car is driving on the road, it is inevitable that there will be water splashing on the car. There will also be mud spots on the headlight covers. Generally speaking, car lamp covers are also made of special materials and have better sealing performance. However, there will be a lot of sludge on the car lamp cover, which will also affect the appearance of the car and the lighting effect of the car. 4. After cleaning the engine compartment, the water must also be dried. The car engine compartment needs to be cleaned regularly, but after cleaning The water also needs to be dried. Otherwise, when using a car, as the temperature of the engine compartment increases, the remaining water in the engine compartment will turn into water vapor, which can easily enter the headlights from the engine compartment, causing the lights to not work properly. Teachers often He said that anyone who does not do eye exercises well will wear glasses when he grows up. Now that he knows the importance of eyes, he will cherish his car even more.I hope every car owner can always take good care of his or her car lights and do daily maintenance seriously.
