How to Use Front and Rear Fog Lights Correctly
2 Answers
After turning on the headlights, press the front fog light button to activate the front fog lights; press the rear fog light button to activate the rear fog lights. The vehicle's light control lever is located under the steering wheel or on the left side below the air conditioning controls, where fog lights can be activated by rotating the lever.
I think the key to using front and rear fog lights is to turn them on when visibility is low. For example, in heavy fog, rain, or snow, they help illuminate the road ahead and make your vehicle more visible to others. Avoid turning on the front fog lights unnecessarily in clear weather, as they may dazzle oncoming drivers and create a safety hazard. With years of driving experience, I’ve developed the habit of only activating the fog lights in thick fog or heavy rain—usually via a dedicated button in the headlight control area. Rear fog lights are especially important at night or in severe weather, as they help prevent rear-end collisions. Remember to check if the bulbs are functioning properly and don’t wait until there’s a problem to take action. Additionally, follow traffic regulations, as some areas have specific rules on when fog lights can be used to avoid fines. Developing good habits not only enhances your safety but also contributes to a more harmonious road environment.
