How to Turn on the Fog Lights on the New Bora?

[StMaria]

Here are the specific steps to turn on the fog lights on the New Bora: 1. Generally, the fog light button is located on the light control lever, which is divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. 2. To turn on the fog lights, you need to turn on the vehicle's lights, i.e., the position lights. Find the fog light symbol on the vehicle's light control lever and rotate the control ring to align the front fog light symbol with the activation point. At this time, the front fog light symbol will be displayed on the dashboard, indicating that the front fog lights are on. 3. Rotate the control ring again to align the rear fog light symbol with the activation point. The rear fog light symbol will then be displayed on the dashboard, indicating that the rear fog lights are on. Here is more information about the New Bora: 1. The overall design of the New Bora is guided by "simplicity," expressing the styling concept of "less is more" through "precision," creating FAW-Volkswagen's unique "X"-shaped sports DNA. 2. The front design of the New Bora incorporates Volkswagen's new design language, integrating continuous lines into the front design. Precise and bold lines connect the headlights with the chrome-plated grille. The contour lines of the headlights are precisely matched with the internal styling lines, complementing the chrome grille to form Volkswagen's iconic front face. 3. All models of the New Bora meet the EU5 emission standards. The 1.4TSI engine features TSI technology with turbocharging and direct gasoline injection. The 1.4TSI engine reaches its maximum power output of 96kW at 5,000 rpm, and its maximum torque of 220N·m is achieved within a wide speed range of 1,750 to 3,500 rpm.

I've been driving the new Bora for almost three years now, and operating the fog lights is something I can do with my eyes closed. First, start the vehicle, then turn the left-hand light control stalk to the position for parking lights or low beams. Now pay attention to the rotating ring in the middle of the stalk - turn it clockwise to the front fog light symbol (that's the icon with a bulb and three diagonal lines on the left), and the front fog lights will come on. To activate the rear fog light, turn it clockwise one more notch to the symbol with a bulb and horizontal lines on the right. But be careful with the rear fog light - it's extremely bright, so don't use it unnecessarily as it can dazzle drivers behind you. I use them during heavy rain or thick fog, especially when encountering sudden fog banks on highways - visibility improves immediately. Remember to turn them off after use. Don't be like last time when I got reminded by the driver next to me at the gas station - that was really awkward.

Just picked up my new Bora recently, and it took me ten minutes to figure out the fog light controls. After powering on the car, first turn on the headlight switch, then locate the secondary knob on the left stalk below the steering wheel. The first click activates the front fog light icon (left arrow with wavy lines), and a green indicator lights up on the dashboard. Rotate it one more click to reveal the right arrow icon, which turns on the red rear fog light. Found out you must follow this sequence—trying to activate the rear fog light directly won’t work. Tested it in the rain: the yellow fog light beams cut through better than headlights, but never use the rear fog light unnecessarily. At night, waiting at a red light with it on floods the rearview mirror with blinding red glare—guaranteed to make the driver behind curse. A pro tip: use front fog lights for extra illumination in underground garages—far more considerate than high beams.

The fog light switch of the new Bora is located on the left-hand stalk of the steering column. The fog light function can only be activated after ignition when the position lights or low beam headlights are turned on. Rotate the middle knob of the stalk: the first rotation turns on the front fog lights (symbolized by a windshield icon with three diagonal lines), and the second rotation turns on the rear fog lights (symbolized by a rearview mirror icon with a horizontal line). They must be activated in sequence; the rear fog lights will not function if the front fog lights are not turned on first. The fog lights use a special color temperature, providing three times better penetration in rain and fog compared to regular vehicle lights. In foggy conditions, it is recommended to drive below 60 km/h with the fog lights on, along with the hazard warning flashers. When washing the car, avoid directing high-pressure water jets at the fog light covers, as improper washing caused cracks in the covers last winter.

Last week, while driving the new Bora in heavy fog, I finally figured out how to turn on the fog lights. After starting the car, first twist the left light lever to the small light position. Then, rotate the independent knob on the lever: turn it all the way to the right until you hear a click, and the front fog lights will turn on (a green indicator lights up on the dashboard). Continue turning it half a step further to the right to activate the rear fog light (a red indicator lights up). During rain, I specifically compared and found that the white haze in front of the car reduced significantly with the fog lights on. Note that this knob has a rebound design and automatically resets after operation. Once, I forgot to turn off the fog lights when parked on the roadside, and it drained one bar of the battery in just two hours. Now, I always ask the car wash attendant to clean the fog light covers, as oxidation and yellowing can affect the lighting effect.

My friend just bought a new Bora and asked me about the fog light switch, which I happened to have researched. Don't rush to start the engine—first power on for self-check. Turn the light stalk below the left side of the steering wheel to the parking light position, then rotate the central fog light control ring: the first click activates the front fog lights (fan-shaped icon pointing left), and the second click turns on the rear fog lights (fan-shaped icon pointing right). During rainy weather tests, I found the effective illumination distance increased by about 20 meters, but the rear fog lights can interfere with the reversing camera. Once in frosty weather, turning them on melted the frost layer on the lens, which was quite practical. Note that fog lights consume around 55W, and prolonged use accelerates lens aging. A car wash owner mentioned that monthly waxing can extend the lens lifespan by three years.
