Under the steering wheel, the fourth one (marked with the number 4). Below is relevant information about fog lights: 1. Introduction: Installed at the front of the car, slightly lower than the headlights, they are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. The lights can increase the running distance, especially the strong light penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, which can improve the visibility of the driver and surrounding traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a distance. 2. Classification: Anti-fog lights are divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are generally bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbol for the rear fog light differs slightly from that of the front fog light; the front fog light symbol has downward light lines, whereas the rear fog light's are parallel, usually located on the dashboard inside the car. Since anti-fog lights are bright and highly penetrating, they do not cause diffuse reflection due to fog, so proper use can effectively prevent accidents.

I often help friends check the fog light fuse issue in their cars. Generally, it's located in the vehicle's fuse box. The fuse box in most cars is situated either on the side of the engine compartment or under the dashboard in the cabin near the foot pedals. The exact location really varies by car—for example, in Hyundai models, it might be under the hood, while in older models, it could be near the door. So, the safest approach is to check the owner's manual, which has clear diagrams. A blown fog light fuse is quite common, possibly caused by circuit overload or a short circuit, especially when used in damp weather. Before replacing it, remember to turn off the engine, use professional tools to remove the faulty fuse, and replace it with a matching new one—avoid handling it with bare hands to prevent electric shock. I recommend checking it regularly to avoid issues during night driving; developing this habit can save trouble and enhance safety.

Last time I drove to the mountains for a trip in heavy fog, suddenly my fog lights stopped working. After an emergency check, it turned out to be a blown fuse. In my experience, the fog light fuse is usually hidden in a small box, mostly within the fuse cluster in the engine compartment or near the footwell in the cabin. I directly referred to the manual to find the exact location, and it took me about ten minutes to fix it that time. Fuses often blow due to aging wiring or overload, and buying a new fuse only costs a few bucks. Now, every six months, I casually check the condition of the fuses in the box to ensure the labels are clear and not mixed up. Fog lights are crucial for driving safety, especially in bad weather. Prevention is always better than getting stranded halfway.

When I first started learning to drive, I noticed an issue with the fog lights and was curious about where the fuse was. A friend told me it's usually in the fuse box, which might be located in the front compartment or some corner inside the car. I checked the owner's manual and indeed found the labeled location—it was quite straightforward. I recommend beginners read the manual first instead of guessing blindly; most cars have diagrams inside the box to help identify which fuse is for the fog lights. When handling it, turn off the engine and use tools to pull or insert the fuse to avoid mistakes. Knowing the location saves trouble, ensuring you can use the lights in time during foggy conditions to stay safe.

Can the engine compartment be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun?

Engine compartment can be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun. Reasons for using a high-pressure water gun: The electrical component interfaces in the engine compartment are waterproofed and not afraid of water. Therefore, it is common practice in many places to directly rinse the engine compartment with a high-pressure water gun. This is routinely done by repair shops and 4S stores without damaging the components inside the engine compartment. Precautions when using a high-pressure water gun: Avoid rinsing with water when the engine is hot. Cleaning the engine when it is at high temperature can cause sudden cooling, which may lead to cylinder deformation or cracking in severe cases. Additionally, rinsing at high temperatures can produce a large amount of steam, which may affect the electrical circuits.

Is the AC on or off when the light is on?

When the AC light is on, it indicates that the vehicle's compressor is in operation and the air conditioning system is activated. The AC button serves as the switch for the air conditioning compressor. During summer, when using the air conditioning, it is essential to press the AC button, with the AC light illuminated, to activate the cold air. Cold air is generated by pressurizing the refrigerant through the compressor, causing it to liquefy and then vaporize, absorbing a significant amount of heat from the air. When the cold air is on, the compressor pulley drives the compressor, increasing the engine load and consuming a certain amount of fuel. In contrast, warm air utilizes the vehicle's internal heat circulation and does not require the air conditioning compressor to be activated. Therefore, to use warm air, simply adjust the air conditioning controls without turning on the AC switch. Additional information: Considerations for car owners when pressing the AC button to activate the car air conditioning function in summer: 1. Open the windows before turning on the air conditioning: After the car has been exposed to the sun in summer, do not enter the vehicle immediately. Instead, either lower all windows or open the doors first, then turn on the fan to accelerate air circulation. Close the windows and turn on the air conditioning after a few minutes. 2. Direct the air conditioning vents upward: Choose to direct the airflow diagonally upward, taking advantage of the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, allowing the cold air to cool the interior from top to bottom.

What is the Difference Between Yellow and White Parking Spaces?

The differences between yellow and white parking spaces lie in their usage standards and time restrictions. Different Usage Standards: Yellow line parking spaces indicate that the space is exclusive, designated for special vehicles such as fire trucks. If the marking appears as a single solid yellow line along the roadside, it means parking is prohibited in the area covered by the yellow solid line. White parking spaces, on the other hand, indicate paid parking spaces. Different Time Restrictions: Yellow line parking spaces have clear time restrictions. Near these spaces, there are usually relevant parking signs indicating the allowed parking times. White line parking spaces have no such restrictions and can be used 24 hours a day, but attention must be paid to the parking direction.

What is the reason for oil level detection failure?

Oil level detection failure may be caused by a faulty oil level sensor or malfunctioning fuel gauge. The specific reasons and solutions are as follows: Faulty oil level sensor: The oil level sensor is a sliding rheostat connected to a float. When the liquid level changes, the float drives the rheostat, causing current changes, which in turn affects the gauge pointer. If the dashboard shows an oil level detection failure, it is highly likely due to a faulty oil level sensor. The solution is to replace the oil level sensor. Malfunctioning fuel gauge: If the fuel gauge readings fluctuate erratically or suddenly drop to zero, indicating an oil level detection failure, it may be due to a malfunctioning fuel gauge. The solution is to repair the fuel gauge.
