How to turn on the fog lights on the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
First, turn on the lights, and rotate the light lever to any position. Then, pull it outward once for the front fog lights, and pull it outward again for the rear fog lights. Here is more information about fog lights: 1. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights. Automotive fog lights are installed on the front and rear of the car to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather, improving visibility for the driver and other traffic participants. 2. Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are usually bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbol for the rear fog light is slightly different from that of the front fog light. The front fog light symbol has downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines, typically located on the dashboard inside the car. 3. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection caused by fog, so correct usage can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, both front and rear fog lights are usually used together.
Turning on the fog lights of the Tiguan L is quite simple, something I learned from my own driving experience, as I often encounter foggy weather while driving. First, ensure that the headlights are already on, usually by turning the knob to the Auto or Low Beam position, which is located on the left-hand stalk near the steering wheel. Next, locate the fog light switch. The fog light control for the Tiguan L is typically on the same stalk, activated by rotating the outer knob to turn on the front fog lights. Some versions may require pressing a button on the knob. Once activated, a small indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate, confirming that the fog lights are on. Remember, fog lights should only be used in conditions of heavy fog, heavy rain, or low visibility, as they can otherwise be glaring and affect other drivers, as well as drain the car battery. It’s a good habit to check if the switch is reset before each drive. I’ve personally experienced the fog light switch getting stuck, so regularly wiping the control panel can prevent poor contact issues. Overall, the operation is quite intuitive, and beginners can quickly get the hang of it once they familiarize themselves with the controls—the key is safe and compliant driving.
