The day before yesterday, Brother Cha published an article titled "The traffic police denounced: Drivers who drive on the highway and flash double flash when it rains don't know how to drive!" 》 Manuscript, from the comments made by netizens, Brother Cha saw that many netizens still don’t know how to turn on the fog lights. The reason for turning on the double flash is because it is simple to operate. Even netizens with 5 years of driving experience don’t know how to turn on the fog light function. Therefore, Brother Cha will use several common fog light control methods on the market to teach you how to turn on the fog lights and explain them in detail.
Before turning on the fog lights, you must first know the corresponding functions of the light control lever or the diagram in the control area. When knocking on the blackboard, there are three diagonal lines on the left side of the front fog light, crossed by a wavy line; there are three horizontal lines on the right side of the rear fog light, crossed by a wavy line. In short, when the front fog light is facing left, the indicator light is green; when the rear fog light is facing right, the indicator light is yellow.
Secondly, most models need to turn on the width lights or headlights before turning on the fog lights. For models that use a knob-type fog light opening method, the front fog lights will be turned on first, and then the rear fog lights will be turned on, and the knob will rebound to the front fog light opening scale. Don't panic at this time. Look at the fog light indicator on the dashboard. status.
Taking the light control lever style as an example, the leftmost red block from top to bottom indicates headlight off, width indicator light, automatic headlight and headlight on; the yellow area scale corresponds to the light status on the left; the green area indicates fog lights. Off, front fog lights and rear fog lights; the blue area scale corresponds to the left light status.
Taking the lighting knob control style as an example, the red area from top to bottom is the front fog light and rear fog light on button; the yellow knob is the equal control area, and from left to right is the headlight off, width light, and low beam light. and automatic headlights on; the green area on the right is the dashboard light brightness adjustment.
Taking the Volkswagen model as an example (because the way the Volkswagen brand fog lights are turned on is rather strange), usually you cannot turn it by turning it counterclockwise. You can only turn it clockwise to turn off the headlights, turn on the width lights, or turn on the headlights. To turn on the fog lights for this type of car, you usually need to pull up the red area as shown in the picture, and then rotate it counterclockwise to the left fog light area to turn on the fog lights.
The use of front and rear fog lights
Back to the question of why front and rear fog lights should be turned on on rainy days, because the angle of illumination of ordinary passenger car headlights is relatively high, and the focused lighting area is far in front of the front of the car. However, if you are in a dense fog or heavy rain environment, the light of the headlights is easily reflected by the white fog and greatly shortens the lighting distance. When the focus is severe, it will also cause a vast white area ahead, reducing visibility and affecting driving safety. At this time, the yellow light bulb used in the front fog lamp has better penetration ability and longer irradiation distance.
Secondly, the front fog lamp is installed under the front bumper, and the illumination position is mostly concentrated on the ground in front. There is relatively less dense fog on the ground, so it is less likely to be affected by dense fog. It can also illuminate the ground conditions and provide It is used by the car owner to judge the road conditions.
Why turn on the rear fog lights? Because the red rear fog light has a stronger ability to penetrate dense fog and water vapor than the brake light, it is slightly better than the double flash light. Moreover, the double flash light is generally used in special circumstances and cannot be turned on for a long time. Secondly, the double flash light will cause harm to the driver behind the car. Causes "mental interference" (don't wonder how Brother Cha knows).
Okay, that’s it for this time on how to use fog lights. All veteran drivers have collected it. Remember to like, retweet, and add favorites three times in a row!
