How to Turn On the Fog Lights on GAC Outlander?

On the left lever of the steering wheel, there is a knob to turn them on. Rotate the knob to the fog light position to activate the fog lights. Here is more information about fog lights: 1. The front fog lights cannot be turned on when the light switch is off, but they can be activated in the parking light position or the headlight position. Fog lights should be turned on in foggy weather and should not be used on clear nights without fog. Many drivers have a bad habit of turning on both front and rear fog lights as soon as they turn on the headlights. In reality, this does not significantly improve visibility but severely dazzles the eyes of drivers and passengers in oncoming vehicles, causing light pollution. 2. The Outlander's headlights have an automatic function. When the headlights are in automatic mode, the sensor can detect external light levels and automatically turn the headlights on or off, which is especially practical and safe for frequently driving through tunnels in mountainous areas. Some people believe fog lights are unnecessary, as regulations do not mandate their installation, and headlights alone may seem sufficient. However, fog lights emit a yellowish light that has far better penetration in rainy or foggy conditions compared to headlights. It is highly recommended to use them when driving at night.

I've been driving a GAC Outlander for several years, and the fog light operation is quite straightforward. First, get in the car and start the engine, then turn the light stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the low beam position—you'll see an icon light up on the dashboard. Next, locate the fog light button or knob on the same stalk, give it a gentle push or twist, and the fog lights will turn on. The front and rear fog lights usually have separate controls, with an icon marked 'fog.' Remember, only use them in foggy conditions or low visibility—keeping them on in clear weather can dazzle other drivers and may even be illegal. During routine maintenance, have the fog light bulbs checked; replace them if they're burnt out to ensure safer night driving. Don't find it troublesome—practice a few times, and it'll become second nature.

I drive an Outlander for my daily commute and have tried using the fog lights several times. After starting the car, first adjust the light control stalk to the parking light or low beam position. Then, there's a dedicated button on the side of the stalk—just push it up. The fog light icon will illuminate on the dashboard, confirming it's activated. The car is thoughtfully designed to minimize misoperation. A friendly reminder: using fog lights in rain, snow, or fog enhances safety, but don’t confuse them with daytime running lights. Once, I forgot to turn them off and drained the battery. I recommend beginners practice the operation in the garage first to avoid fumbling on the road. Once you’re familiar, it becomes a piece of cake.

The fog light system of the GAC Outlander is quite straightforward. After starting the vehicle, you must first switch the light lever to the low beam mode to activate the fog light switch. Then, there's a fog light button on or near the lever—press it to turn on the lights. The logic behind this is to prevent accidental activation, ensuring the fog lights only operate in low-light conditions. This setup is similar to other SUVs, but the Outlander responds more sensitively. When using fog lights, ensure they don't obstruct pedestrians' vision, and regularly check the bulb status to avoid last-minute replacements. The whole operation is quick to learn and use.
