3 Answers
To turn on the fog lights of Jetta, rotate the knob switch on the left side of the instrument panel to the front and rear fog light positions. Taking the 2020 Jetta VA3 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4501mm, width 1704mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2604mm, and fuel tank capacity 52.8L. The 2020 Jetta VA3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 112ps, maximum power of 82kW, maximum power speed of 6100rpm, front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.
Turning on the Jetta's fog lights is actually quite simple. When I first started driving, I couldn't figure it out either, but now that I've driven more, it's second nature. Sit in the driver's seat and look for the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, which usually has a rotary knob or a toggle section. You'll see a fog light icon on it, like a small bulb with a diagonal line, just turn it to the on position. But remember, the fog lights only work when the headlights are on, such as when the low beams or high beams are activated. After turning them on, a small light symbol will appear on the dashboard to remind you they're on. The key is not to misuse them—only turn them on in heavy fog, rain, or poor visibility. Using them on clear days can cause glare and trouble for oncoming drivers. I've used them on foggy highways myself—they're low and well-positioned, allowing me to see the road clearly without glare, greatly improving safety. If you're unsure about the location, check the vehicle manual or try a few times and you'll get it.
Turning on the Jetta's fog lights isn't difficult, let me share some tips. The light control stalk is located next to the steering wheel, with a dedicated fog light setting - it might be a rotary knob or push-pull mechanism. Look for the symbol with a fog icon. When operating, ensure other lights like low beams are on first, then activate the fog lights. After turning them on, check that the exterior lights illuminate and the dashboard shows a confirmation indicator. Fog lights are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, with their low positioning minimizing glare. However, I must remind you they're not suitable for all weather - using fog lights on clear nights may draw complaints and violate traffic laws. Safety first: combining headlights with fog lights works best in actual fog. Periodically check that the fog light switch operates smoothly to prevent rust-related jamming.
