How to Turn on the Fog Lights on the XRV?
2 Answers
XRV fog light operation method: The fog light switch is located on the left knob switch below the steering wheel. The outer part of the knob controls the parking lights and headlights, while the inner part operates the front and rear fog lights. Rotate the knob forward once to turn on the front fog lights, and rotate it backward once to activate the rear fog lights. The Honda XRV has fog lights positioned at the lower left and right corners of the front bumper, along with two additional fog lights at the rear, totaling four fog lights. The XRV is a compact SUV model with dimensions of 4275mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1605mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of powertrain, the XRV is equipped with either a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5L Earth Dreams engine. The former delivers a maximum power output of 136Ps. The transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox or a CVT transmission.
After driving for so many years, I find the XR-V's front fog light switch quite intuitive. Generally, you first need to turn on the headlights by rotating the headlight knob to the parking light or headlight position. Then, on the control lever to the left of the steering wheel, look for a button with a wavy line or fog icon—usually, pulling it outward once will turn on the front fog lights. For the rear fog lights, you might need to pull it again or find a separate button on the dashboard, as it varies slightly by model year. I always operate them in advance during foggy conditions to ensure the lights are on for better visibility, especially when visibility is poor on highways. However, remember to use them only when visibility is below 100 meters, as turning them on in normal weather can dazzle other drivers and cause accidents. Make it a habit to test the lights in the garage to ensure they're reliable.
