Method to turn on the fog lights of a Corolla: First, you need to turn on the headlight assembly before switching to the fog lights. The right rotary switch controls the fog lights. Turning it one notch activates the front fog lights. Turning it up one more notch will automatically return it to the first position, activating the rear fog lights. Turning it again will automatically return it to the first position, turning off the rear fog lights. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. The front fog lights are usually bright white, while the rear fog lights are red. The Corolla is a brand under Toyota, and this model uses Michelin tires with the specification 215/45R17. The dimensions of the Corolla are 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. The black mesh grille enhances the sporty feel of the car, and the lower part of the new bumper features an enlarged air intake grille. The rear bumper has also been adjusted accordingly.
Turning on the Corolla's fog lights is actually quite simple. I think you should first sit in the driver's seat, start the car, and then focus on the light control stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Most Corolla models have this stalk, with a knob or switch at the end. Turn it to Auto or headlight mode (don’t rush, the fog lights require the headlights to be on first), then gently pull the entire stalk toward you a short distance—yes, just one pull. For the rear fog light, there might be a button at the base of the stalk—just press it. The light icon will illuminate on the dashboard. Don’t forget to use them in fog, heavy rain, or snow; leaving them on otherwise can affect other drivers' visibility. The Corolla is designed to be user-friendly. I’ve tried several models, and the operation is similar. If you’re unsure, checking the owner’s manual is the quickest way—safety first!
I found that to turn on the Corolla's fog lights, you need to start from the left side of the steering wheel. That control lever is usually for adjusting the headlight beam, right? Yes, first rotate it to the parking light or Auto position to turn on the headlights, then without stopping, gently pull the entire lever backward once, and the fog light icon should appear. If there's no response, check if the car is in the started state or if the key is turned to the ON position. That's how my own Corolla works—the first time I tried, I thought the lever was broken, but the actual operation is quite intuitive. Remember to use fog lights only when visibility is below 100 meters, as using them in normal conditions can be dazzling and dangerous. It's recommended to familiarize yourself with the switch positions when you get a new car.
