Brother Miao told everyone that the fog lights with icon design on the car are very important, but many people don’t know how to drive them. Today I will summarize for you in detail how to drive the fog lights.
Lever knob type
The first category is the knob type on the lever. There is a knob on your headlight lever.
Turn this knob forward, it is the front fog light, turn it backward, it is the rear fog light.
Button icon style
The second type is the button type. Generally, push-button buttons are placed on the left rear of the steering wheel.
Some are up and down with one button, and some are separated by two buttons. Pay attention to the fog light icon.
That is, there are three horizontal lines in front of a light, and then a slash or a wavy line is drawn. This kind of light is also easier to open.
Combination button type
The third type is modular. Like my old Corolla, it is modular.
Its rear fog light is on the panel, it is a push-button type, but its front fog light is designed on the lever knob of the headlight switch. Turn it forward and it becomes the front fog light.
Pull-out knob
The fourth type is the knob and pull-out type. This type is mainly found in German cars, represented by the Volkswagen series.
It's your headlight switch. It's a big knob. After you turn it, you need to pull it out. After pulling it out, turn it to the position of the fog light, so that it can turn on the fog light.
Because its versatility is not strong, it is basically used more in the Volkswagen series. Therefore, if you own a Volkswagen series car, you really need to learn it carefully.
Summarize
The above four methods are the most common fog lamp turning methods for most cars currently on the market, and they can basically cover more than 95% of fog lamps.
Of course, there is something particularly weird, that is, there is a small button next to the double flasher. The original American cars, Buick, have that old design.
That kind of design has basically been eliminated now, so if you follow these four methods mentioned by Brother Miao, you will basically be able to master how to open most fog lights on the market.
Turn on the small lights to turn on the fog lights
But what needs special attention here is that it is useless to turn on the fog light switch alone. When you turn on the fog lights, you must first turn your car to the small light switch.
Regardless of whether you have a small light in the first gear or a headlight in the second gear, it can only turn on the fog lights after the main switch is turned on.
If your main switch is turned off, the fog lights will turn off by themselves, and one thing that needs special attention is that you need to identify the front fog lights or the rear fog lights.
Because some cars now have front and rear fog lights, and some cars only have rear fog lights, so everyone should pay attention.
Because the front fog lamp illuminates downwards, after the light of your front fog lamp is turned on, it lies downwards on the icon, and then draws a wavy line, which is called the front fog lamp.
Then, because the rear fog light needs to be visible to cars far behind you, its lights are drawn straight on the icon, and that is the rear fog light.
In this way, you can basically understand memory. Since the procedures for turning on fog lights on some cars are not very clear, be sure to check whether your fog light icon is on on your dashboard after driving.
Generally speaking, the front fog light is green and the rear fog light is yellow. It will be clear when you look at these two icons.
Pay attention to the correct use of fog lights
Because the fog lights are very bright, Brother Miao finally reminds everyone that if the visibility is usually good, you must not turn on the fog lights rashly.
Otherwise, people driving behind you at night will keep flashing their headlights at you, and you won't even know what's going on.
If someone flashes you, you don't know it yet, and if you don't turn it off, it will cause great psychological harm to others behind you, so everyone must pay attention to the correct use of fog lights.
I believe that through Brother Miao’s explanation, everyone will be able to turn on fog lights, so you can look for the fog lights in your car yourself.
If you still can't find it, turn out the manual and look for it again. Be sure to learn how to turn on the fog lights. They can really save your life in critical moments.
