How to turn on the front fog lights of the Volkswagen Bora?
2 Answers
The fog light switch of the Volkswagen Bora is located on the inner side of the control lever and is operated by rotation. Turn it upwards once to turn on the front fog lights, and turn it twice to the rear fog light position, which simultaneously turns on both front and rear fog lights. Conversely, turn it back to turn them off. Since fog lights are bright and have strong penetration, they do not produce diffuse reflection due to fog, so correct usage can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, front and rear fog lights are usually used together. Here is additional information: Fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights: 1. Front fog lights are generally bright yellow, and the light lines of the front fog light symbol point downwards. 2. Rear fog lights are red, and the symbol for rear fog lights is slightly different from that of front fog lights. The rear fog light symbol is horizontal and is usually located on the instrument control panel inside the car. 3. After turning on the parking lights, you can turn on the fog lights. Among them, the front fog lights can be turned on individually, while the rear fog lights can only be turned on together with the front fog lights and cannot be turned on individually.
I've been driving my Bora for three years, and the front fog light switch is cleverly tucked into the stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. First, you need to rotate the headlight knob to the parking light or low beam position – that's the prerequisite. Then locate the fog light symbol on the rotating ring at the tip of the stalk. Turn it counterclockwise one notch, and voilà, your front fog lights activate. A green indicator light with squiggly lines will pop up on your instrument cluster as a reminder. These lights are absolute game-changers in rainy or foggy conditions – their yellow beams cut through the gloom much better than regular headlights. But remember to switch them off when visibility improves; that intense glare can blind oncoming drivers and drains your battery. I've made it a habit to always check if the rotating ring is reset to zero before turning off the ignition – wouldn't want those fog lights becoming just decorative elements!
