According to traffic regulations, when visibility is between 100-200 meters, fog lights, low beam lights, width indicator lights, and tail lights must be turned on, and the speed must not exceed 60 km/h. The fog light switch of Hongqi H5 is located on the steering wheel or the left side of the steering wheel. The driver can simply press it to turn on the fog lights. Under good visibility conditions, the use of fog lights is strictly prohibited as the red light can be harmful to people when there is no fog or other obstacles. Whether it's the front fog light or the rear fog light, if it stops working, it indicates that the bulb has burned out and must be replaced.
When I first started driving the Hongqi H5, I was also puzzled about where the fog lights were. Through practice, I discovered that the fog light switch is on the lever to the left of the steering wheel, the same one that controls the headlights and wipers. If you look closely at the end of the lever, there's a small knob or button—just rotate it to turn on the front or rear fog lights. Remember to turn on the headlights first, otherwise, the fog lights might not work due to the smart design that prevents accidental operation. This feature is super important when driving in foggy conditions, as it enhances visibility and helps avoid accidents, so I often make a habit of checking it before rainy or foggy weather. I recommend that beginners practice locating the switch more—safety comes first. The switch position in the Hongqi H5 is similar to that in common car models, so it should feel natural once you get used to it. After mastering this small trick, I feel much more confident while driving.
