How to Turn On the Fog Lights on a 2021 Bora?

The front and rear fog light switches are located below the left side of the steering wheel. The fog light switch is on the inner side of the control lever and is operated by rotation. To control the fog light switch by rotation, turn it upwards once to turn on the front fog lights, and turn it twice to the rear fog light position, which simultaneously activates both front and rear fog lights. Conversely, turn it back to turn them off. After turning on the parking lights, you can then turn on the fog lights. The front fog lights can be turned on individually, while the rear fog lights can only be turned on together with the front fog lights and cannot be activated separately.

I remember spending quite some time figuring out how to turn on the fog lights in my 2021 Bora for the first time, but later found it was actually quite simple. Pay attention to the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. First, turn the headlight switch to the low beam or parking light position. Then, there's a knob with a fog light icon—just gently pull it outward. You'll hear a 'click' for the first position, which turns on the front fog lights, and pulling it one more notch will give you a second 'click,' activating the rear fog lights. The dashboard will display a green front fog light icon and an orange rear fog light indicator. It's especially useful during rainy or foggy conditions, but avoid using them in the city as they can be too bright and dazzle others. To turn them off, just push the knob back to its original position—the design is quite user-friendly.

Turning on the fog lights in a Bora is actually a three-step process: First, rotate the light knob to turn on the low beams. Then, pull out the knob at the front of the control lever marked with the fog light symbol. The first position activates the front fog lights, and pulling it all the way activates the rear fog lights. Pay attention to the dashboard icon changes during operation for better confirmation. Be aware that the rear fog lights are extremely bright, so avoid using them unnecessarily except in rainy or foggy conditions, as they can dazzle oncoming drivers. This design is quite typical for Volkswagen and is consistent with the operation logic of other German cars I've driven.

The key to operating the fog lights is locating the light control lever. On the 2021 Bora, with the headlights turned on, simply rotate the knob with the wavy line symbol: pulling it out one notch activates the front fog lights, which emit scattered light in front of the vehicle. Pulling it out another notch turns on the rear fog lights, with red light that penetrates thick fog. Remember, the dashboard will display corresponding indicators when activated. This feature is particularly lifesaving when visibility drops below 100 meters, but using it in clear weather can shorten bulb lifespan. It's recommended to turn them off promptly after use to avoid draining the battery.

The fog light switch of the Bora is located on the left-hand stalk - it's the knob with the fog light icon. First, make sure your low beam headlights are on, then pull this knob outward. A gentle first pull activates the front fog lights (you'll see illumination on both sides of the front bumper). Pulling it all the way engages the rear fog light. Important note: The rear fog light consumes more power than brake lights, so avoid using it except in extreme weather. My friend once accidentally drove on the highway with rear fog lights on and soon got a speeding ticket - the excessive brightness was mistaken for constant brake light activation.

The activation steps are quite intuitive: Sit in the driver's seat and look to the left of the steering wheel to locate the light control stalk. You'll see the fog light symbol on the rotary knob, right? First, turn the knob to the position for turning on the parking lights or low beams, then pull the knob outward while pinching it. The first detent activates the front fog lights, and pulling to the second detent also turns on the rear fog lights. I always rely on them when encountering fog banks during long drives - the yellow light's penetration is indeed strong. But I must remind you, fog lights consume significant power, so remember to turn them off upon reaching your destination.
