Where is the Fog Light Switch?

Generally, the fog light activation button is located on the light control lever. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive fog lights: 1. Usage Scenarios: The most common scenario for using fog lights is in foggy conditions. Additionally, they are used in severe weather such as snow or rain, or when driving in environments filled with smoke. To ensure driving safety, front fog lights must be used for illumination, while rear fog lights should be used as needed. 2. Precautions: Front and rear fog lights should not be used unless necessary, as they lack light shields. The intense glare can affect the vision of oncoming or following drivers, potentially compromising driving safety.
I've driven various cars and found that the position of the fog light switch varies greatly depending on the model. Generally, it's located on the lighting control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with a semicircle and several wavy lines representing fog. Some older cars or SUVs place it in the button area below the center console, near your knees, with a similar symbol. You need to turn on the headlights first to activate the fog lights, which is a safety requirement. For example, in a Ford Fiesta, you can simply twist the top of the light stalk, while a Toyota RAV4 might have a separate button near the dashboard. I've experienced driving on the highway in heavy fog, and turning on the fog lights in time helped avoid visibility issues. However, don't use them in good weather as they can reflect light and disturb other drivers, increasing the risk of accidents. I recommend checking the owner's manual before driving, as designs differ across brands. Some modern cars even have smart systems that automatically turn on the fog lights, eliminating manual operation, but beginners are better off controlling them manually for safety.
