Where are the fog lights on the Encore?

To operate the fog lights on the Encore, first turn on the headlights, then press the upper button inside the headlight switch for the front fog lights, and the lower button for the rear fog lights. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights, which are installed on the front and rear of the vehicle for road illumination and safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather. Fog lights enhance visibility for both the driver and other road users. There are two types of fog lights: front and rear. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols for front and rear fog lights differ slightly—the front fog light symbol has downward light lines, whereas the rear fog light symbol has parallel lines. These symbols are usually located on the dashboard inside the vehicle. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not scatter light in foggy conditions. Proper use of fog lights can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, both front and rear fog lights are typically used together.
I've been driving the Buick Encore for three years, and its fog light placement is very user-friendly. The front fog lights are located at the lowest points on both sides of the bumper, precisely in the black grille area directly below the headlights. The round lens covers are positioned near the corners of the vehicle, installed lower than those on regular sedans, allowing better light penetration through fog. The rear fog light is integrated into the taillight assembly, displaying a red inverted trapezoidal pattern when activated. Remember, there's a light knob below the steering wheel on the left side; just turn it to the fog light icon. These lights are particularly useful in low-visibility foggy conditions, as their beam doesn't scatter like high beams, creating a blinding whiteout. Plus, their design placement prevents mud or water from obscuring them, requiring only regular cleaning of the lens covers during maintenance.
