Jetta's light switch combination 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. Here is additional information: 1. Fog Lights: Fog lights refer to the automotive fog lights installed at the front and rear of the car. They are used for illuminating the road and providing safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather, enhancing visibility for the driver and other traffic participants. In addition to the car's high beams, low beams, headlights, parking lights, driving lights, and brake lights, there is also a set of inconspicuous fog lights at the rear of the vehicle. Rear fog lights are designed to make the vehicle more visible to other road users behind it in environments with low visibility, such as fog, rain, or dust. 2. Jetta Body Dimensions: The Jetta's body dimensions are 4487mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm.

I've driven quite a few Jetta cars, and turning on the fog lights is pretty straightforward. First, you need to locate the light control stalk near the steering wheel, usually the ringed lever on the lower left side. Step one: turn the switch to the position for parking lights or low beams to activate the headlights. Step two: manually rotate the ring on the control stalk - the first turn activates the front fog lights to illuminate the road ahead; another turn activates the rear fog lights, which are very bright and suitable for extremely low visibility, but avoid unnecessary use to prevent blinding following vehicles. Remember, fog lights are best used in heavy fog, rain, or dusty conditions - turn them off in clear weather to save power. My first time using them was during a heavy rainstorm on the highway, and I found they made the car much more visible and safer. Regularly check that the fuses and bulbs aren't burnt out, and make it a habit to have light maintenance done at the 4S shop. Don't underestimate this - if fog lights fail, nighttime driving becomes much riskier. We car owners need to be cautious, as timely attention can prevent major troubles.

As a safety-conscious person, I believe the key to using fog lights is accident prevention. In the Jetta, after starting the car, you need to turn the light knob near the steering wheel to the parking light position, then rotate the control stalk's ring: a gentle turn activates the front fog lights, another turn activates the rear fog lights. The rear fog lights should only be used when visibility drops below 50 meters, as they're too dazzling and may blind others. Turning on fog lights in heavy fog makes your vehicle more visible, reducing rear-end collision risks. My habit is to turn them off promptly to avoid draining the battery. Before driving, it's best to quickly test all lighting functions to ensure everything works properly. Safety first – driving without fog lights in foggy conditions is as dangerous as driving blindfolded, so always pay attention to operational details. The Jetta's lighting design is quite reliable, but don't over-rely on it – drivers must stay vigilant.

How to turn on the fog lights on a Jetta? Easy! After getting in the car, locate the ring knob on the left steering column lever. First, turn on the parking lights by rotating the knob to light up the headlights, then twist the ring to activate the front fog lights for use in foggy conditions. Twist it once more to turn on the rear fog light, but only use it when visibility is extremely low. The dashboard has icons to show you which lights are on. To turn them off, just twist the knob back. I prefer not to use them on sunny days to save power, but I check the fog lights' effectiveness on rainy days. Operate them smoothly without overthinking, just stay safe.

Can I Change the Inspection Station If My Vehicle Fails the Emissions Test?

You can change the inspection station if your vehicle fails the emissions test. Emissions test failure: The emissions test mainly targets three types of exhaust gases: CH, CO, and NOx. If a vehicle fails the emissions test, the staff will issue a "Notice of Failed Motor Vehicle Inspection Items," informing the owner to take the vehicle to a repair shop for necessary maintenance before a retest. During the retest, the owner must bring this notice and the repair invoice to prove that the vehicle has been serviced before the test. Precautions for vehicle emissions testing: Prepare some fuel in advance. When preparing for the emissions test, try to use up the fuel in the tank and replace it with higher-grade fuel. Additionally, fill up at a reputable gas station, as this can help with the emissions test.

What is the sequence of clutch, gear shift, and handbrake?

When starting, first release the handbrake, then press the clutch when pulling the handbrake, and finally shift into gear to start. Here are the related details: 1. Introduction: After the engine starts and before the car moves, the driver first presses the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the transmission system. Then, the gear is engaged, and the clutch pedal is gradually released to allow the clutch to engage. 2. Operation: During the engagement process, the resistance torque on the engine gradually increases. Therefore, the accelerator pedal should be pressed simultaneously to gradually increase the fuel supply to the engine, ensuring the engine speed remains at the lowest stable speed without stalling.

How Long Can Engine Oil Be Stored in a Car Exposed to Sunlight?

Engine oil should not be exposed to sunlight. Once opened, it can be stored for about a year. Here are the relevant details: 1. Storage Conditions: The storage environment for engine oil bottles must be clean and dry, ensuring no exposure to sunlight to prevent oxidation of the oil inside. After opening, the oil must be sealed immediately. After completing car maintenance, cover the bottle mouth with a clean plastic film and tighten the cap. When adding leftover oil from previous maintenance, do not pour all of it into the engine; retain a portion. Over time, a small amount of moisture may accumulate at the bottom of the oil bottle, which could adversely affect engine performance if added. 2. Shelf Life: Unopened engine oil stored in a cool place can last at least five years. Once opened, the shelf life is typically 6-9 months, but this depends on actual storage conditions.

Is there a relationship between the thermostat and fuel consumption?

The thermostat is related to fuel consumption. The relationship between the thermostat and fuel consumption: The thermostat controls the temperature of the engine, and the engine temperature directly affects the power output of the engine. The relationship between temperature and engine performance is like a U-curve—when the engine temperature is either too high or too low, wear increases, and higher wear leads to increased fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idling time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling time. Additionally, avoid rapid acceleration, slamming the throttle, and driving at low RPMs. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, ambient temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, can all impact a car's fuel consumption.

Why can't the car door be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside?

The car door cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside because the child lock is engaged. Reasons why the car door cannot be opened from the inside: The child lock on the door is engaged. Disengage it to open the door normally. The connecting rod of the inner handle may have fallen off; reattach it to restore normal function. The inner handle or opening lever may be cracked or faulty; replace it with a new one. The lock mechanism may be damaged; replace it to fix the issue. Child lock: The car child lock, also known as the door lock child safety feature, is located on the rear door locks. When opened, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the door lock. Move the lever toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. Now, the door cannot be opened from the inside but can only be opened from the outside.
