How to Turn on the Fog Lights on a Volkswagen Bora?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Bora's fog light switch is located on the inner side of the control lever and is operated by rotation. Turn it upwards once to activate the front fog lights, and twice to rotate to the rear fog light position, turning on the rear fog lights. Here is some related information about fog lights: 1. Introduction: In addition to the front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, and the rear running lights and brake lights, most cars also have a set of fog lights installed in inconspicuous locations at the rear. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle, with higher luminous intensity than tail lights, designed to make the vehicle more visible to other road users in low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or dust. 2. Classification: Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for front and rear fog lights are slightly different: the front fog light symbol has downward-pointing light lines, while the rear fog light symbol is parallel, usually located on the dashboard inside the car. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not cause diffuse reflection in foggy conditions, so proper use can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, both front and rear fog lights are usually used together.
I recently bought a Volkswagen Bora and found that operating the fog lights isn’t hard to master. At first, I didn’t quite understand it either, but after trying a few times in foggy weather: The first step is to turn on the headlights, usually by rotating the knob on the left control stalk to the outermost position; then gently pull the stalk toward yourself—one pull activates the front fog lights, and a small icon (like a fog symbol) will light up on the dashboard. If you also want to turn on the rear fog lights, just pull the stalk once more with the same motion. Remember to use them only when visibility drops below 50 meters, such as in heavy fog or rain—using them unnecessarily may dazzle drivers behind you and create safety hazards. I recommend new owners practice a few times while parked to confirm the light status before driving, avoiding incorrect operations that could compromise safety.
