Steps to turn on the fog lights in a Polo: First, turn on the low-beam headlight switch of the Volkswagen Polo, then pull the knob out one notch to activate the front fog lights, and pull it out another notch to activate the rear fog lights. Additional information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights are turned on only in foggy conditions. When encountering heavy fog with very low visibility, it is essential to turn on both lights to ensure your vehicle is visible to others. In conditions other than foggy weather with normal visibility, please always turn off the fog lights because their brightness and penetration are very high, which can dazzle other drivers, especially the rear fog lights, which can reduce the warning effect of the rear brake lights. Turning on the rear fog lights in good visibility conditions increases the risk of being rear-ended. 2. In low-visibility conditions such as fog or rain, the front fog lights can assist the headlights, while the rear fog lights alert vehicles behind to the presence of your car. 3. Fog lights are generally used on highways. Additionally, regulations stipulate that vehicles without rear fog lights are not permitted to travel on highways.
When dealing with vehicle issues, I'm often asked how to turn on the fog lights. The light control knob for the Volkswagen Polo is located on the left steering column, usually a round dial. First, start the ignition, then rotate the knob to turn on the headlights or set it to AUTO position, ensuring the parking lights are on. Next, turn the knob to the next position marked with a wavy line icon, indicating fog light mode—gently rotate past it to activate the fog lights. Some model years of the Polo may require pushing or pulling the knob to switch to the rear fog light, so it's best to check the manual or icons before operating. Fog lights are designed for low-visibility conditions like fog or heavy rain to enhance illumination distance, but keeping them on in clear weather can dazzle others and may even be illegal. I always remind friends to turn them off immediately after use. The whole process is simple and takes just 10 seconds once you're familiar with it.
