How to Turn On the Front and Rear Fog Lights on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
There is a fog light button marked near the instrument panel. After turning on the lights, press the front fog light button to illuminate the front fog lights. Press the rear fog light button to illuminate the rear fog lights. When you turn the button marked with the fog light symbol in the middle to the ON position, the front fog lights will be activated. Turning the button downward to the rear fog light position will simultaneously turn on both the front and rear fog lights.
Operating the fog lights on Volkswagen models is quite intuitive. Taking my Golf as an example: Locate the light control knob on the left side of the driver's seat, first turn it to the position for parking lights or low beam. Then look at the center or side of the knob, where you'll find a small button or a section of the knob with a fog light symbol. Press the button with the front fog light symbol (light lines pointing to the lower left), and the front fog lights will turn on; press the button with the rear fog light symbol (light lines pointing to the lower right), and the rear fog lights will activate. The dashboard will correspondingly display a green front fog light icon and an orange rear fog light icon. Note that you must first turn on the parking lights or low beam to activate the fog light function. In foggy conditions, turning on the front fog lights enhances close-range illumination, while the rear fog lights make your vehicle more visible to those behind you. They are very useful in rain or heavy fog, but remember to turn them off promptly when visibility improves, especially the glaring rear fog lights.
