How to Turn on the Fog Lights in an Octavia?
2 Answers
On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a knob for controlling the lights. When you turn it to the two positions for parking lights or low beam, the first position activates the front fog lights, and the second position activates the rear fog lights. Types of fog lights: 1. Front fog lights: Usually bright yellow. The symbol for front fog lights has downward-pointing light lines. 2. Rear fog lights: Usually red. The symbol for rear fog lights has parallel light lines and is typically located on the dashboard inside the car. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection in foggy conditions. Proper use can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, both front and rear fog lights are usually used together.
I've been driving my Skoda Octavia for several years. When turning on the fog lights, I make sure the engine is running first. After turning on the headlights, I locate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. There's a small rotary knob on it - just turn it to the front fog light icon position. Some models require pulling the stalk to activate the rear fog lights. Remember to only use rear fog lights when visibility drops below 100 meters to avoid dazzling other drivers. Regularly check if the bulbs are burnt out, especially before rainy seasons - it's best to visit a 4S shop to have them inspect the wiring to prevent poor contact. I've noticed that older Octavia models integrate the fog lights with the headlight switch, while newer models make it much simpler with just a button press on the central control screen. Fog lights are crucial for rainy weather driving - they've often helped me spot road hazards. Driving safety always comes first.
