What is the parking light

.06.2021 112.1K Views

[WapCar] The parking light is a warning light that serves as a safety reminder to vehicles, passersby when the vehicles is temporarily stopped and turned off, so as to indicate the location of the vehicles. When the parking lights are turned on, the headlight will light up, the light intensity is weak, and the rear light will light up at the same time, which can serve as a safety reminder.

How to use

There are two common methods to turn on the parking light: the lever type and the knob type, and usually divided into parking lights on the left and right sides. When the vehicle is turned off and powered off, hold the lever down or up for 3 seconds (different vehicles can be slightly different) to turn on the parking light, and the knob type just needs to be screwed to the corresponding position to turn on.

Main function

When parking on the side of the road in the evening, the parking light on the one side can prevent passing pedestrians, bicycles and other traffic individuals from colliding with their own vehicles, playing an efficient safety reminder and outline role. 

Finally, many friends will worry that the parking lights are always on, will it cause the battery to lose electricity? The first thing to explain is that usually the power consumption of the small lights is very low, especially now more and more vehicles adopt energy-saving LCD light sources. Secondly, for the vehicles with the design of the parking lights, when the system detected that the battery capacity is too low, it will automatically turn off the parking light to prevent the over-discharge of the battery to ensure that the vehicles can start normally.
