I've noticed many Wuling Hongguang owners ask about this. Actually, the main function of that bottom red light is as a brake light. Every time you press the brake pedal, this light illuminates with particularly high brightness to alert following vehicles that you're slowing down, helping prevent rear-end collisions. Having driven microvans for so many years, I know Wuling Hongguang's brake lights are designed lower to be more conspicuous, especially in urban traffic where following vehicles can see them clearly when close. Besides braking, some models also use it as a position light, glowing dimly when headlights are on. The key is to regularly check that bulbs haven't burned out - since bulb lifespan is only about 10,000-20,000 kilometers, replace them promptly if damaged to avoid nighttime driving hazards. Usually just lift the tailgate to check for loose connectors, or be mindful during car washes to prevent water entering the light assembly.
