How to Turn on the Fog Lights in a Jetta Car?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Jetta's light switch assembly is located on the left side of the instrument panel. Simply turn the knob to the front or rear fog light position to activate the fog lights. More information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are usually bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. 2. The symbol for the rear fog light is slightly different from that of the front fog light. The front fog light symbol has downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, generally located on the vehicle's instrument control panel. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection caused by fog. Proper use can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, front and rear fog lights are usually used together.
I've been driving a Jetta for over a decade, and turning on the fog lights is actually quite simple. First, make sure the car is powered on or started—all the light switches are on the control stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Turn the headlight switch to the low-beam position, then look for a rotating ring at the top of the stalk marked with a fog light icon—that's the fog light switch. Twist it forward once to turn on the front fog lights (a green fog light indicator will appear on the dashboard), and twist it again to activate the rear fog lights (displayed as an orange indicator). A key point to note is that not all models allow you to turn on the rear fog lights independently—most newer cars require the low beams to be on before the fog lights can be activated. They're especially useful in heavy rain or fog, much safer than hazard lights, as they provide strong light penetration without blinding the car behind you. Remember to turn them off after use to save battery and extend bulb life.
