According to the latest data from the Ministry of Transport, 12% of traffic accidents are caused by improper use of vehicle lights. As a safety configuration in special environments, the color temperature of fog lights is usually 3000K (warm yellow). This wavelength has stronger penetrating power in foggy days. The reflective fog lamp design adopted by Kia K2 has an illumination angle 15 degrees lower than that of ordinary headlights, which can effectively avoid fog reflection and glare.
It is recommended that car owners check the sealing of fog lights every 2 years to prevent fogging due to water intrusion. In the event of complex weather, hazard warning lights can be used, but please note that according to Article 58 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the vehicle speed must not exceed 30km/h when visibility is less than 50 meters.
Mastering the correct method of using fog lights can not only ensure driving safety, but also avoid unnecessary violation penalties. If the operation method of your K2 model is different from the description in this article, it is recommended to consult the vehicle user manual or consult the 4S store technician.
