I found that the fog light switch of the Trumpchi GS8 is located on the control lever to the left of the steering wheel, which is quite handy to operate. Just turn the knob to the position for the front fog lights, and for the rear fog lights, you might need to press a button after turning past a certain point. Having driven this car for two or three years myself, I often use the fog lights in rainy or foggy weather, and the effect is remarkable—it illuminates a large area in front of the car, significantly improving driving safety. The design positions it close to the steering wheel, so you don’t need to divert your attention to find it while driving, reducing the risk of accidents. I recommend that beginners practice operating it more—practice makes perfect. Improper use of fog lights can drain the battery or disturb others, so never leave them on in clear weather. It’s important to regularly check the switch’s responsiveness; sometimes, a stuck knob can prevent the lights from turning on, and a simple wipe to remove dust usually fixes it. If you encounter any issues, don’t panic—the owner’s manual always has detailed diagrams to help.

How to Check if the Antifreeze is Low?

To check if the antifreeze is low, observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard; if it illuminates, it indicates a lack of antifreeze. The functions of antifreeze are: 1. To provide anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. To prevent scale buildup, avoiding a reduction in the radiator's cooling efficiency; 3. To ensure the engine operates within the normal temperature range. The dangers of not replacing expired antifreeze include: 1. Evaporation of water in the antifreeze, leading to changes in the antifreeze's freezing point and affecting its performance; 2. Loss of anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and rust-removal functions for the engine, impacting the engine's lifespan; 3. Increased viscosity, reducing cooling efficiency.
