How to Turn on the Fog Lights on a Passat?
2 Answers
To turn on the fog lights on a Passat, follow these steps: 1. Turn the headlight switch to the parking light or headlight position; 2. Pull the switch upward—one pull activates the front fog lights; 3. Pulling it twice activates both the front and rear fog lights. Functions of fog lights: 1. Front fog lights are designed to improve visibility in unclear road conditions and alert oncoming drivers; 2. Rear fog lights help vehicles behind to spot your car in low-visibility conditions. Taking the 2020 Passat as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4933mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 68.5l, trunk capacity 521l, and curb weight 1470kg.
I've been driving a Passat for three years, and turning on the fog lights is actually quite simple. Pay attention to the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel—the outermost ring can be rotated: the first position turns on the parking lights, and the second position turns on the headlights. Here's the key point—you need to turn on the headlights first to activate the fog lights! Then, pull the entire stalk outward: the first pull turns on the front fog lights (a green indicator lights up on the dashboard), and the second pull turns on the rear fog lights (a yellow indicator lights up). On rainy days when visibility is poor, I often use the front fog lights for extra illumination; I only turn on the rear fog lights in heavy fog or downpours. A heads-up: when the rear fog lights are on, there’s a bright yellow warning light on the dashboard—don’t be alarmed, it disappears once you turn them off.
