62 Instruments and controls 1 0 2 IB351 IB352 Rear fog light Press the button to switch on the rear fog light, which will only come on if the headlights are on. The rear fog light will go off automatically when the engine is switched off. When the fog light is next needed, it will have to be switched on manually again. The rear fog light consists of one light so it should not be mistaken for rear light. Make sure you are familiar with the applicable provincial/state law regarding the use of rear fog lights. Instrument illumination The brightness of the instrument illumination can be varied by means of the dimmer switch adjacent to the headlight switch. (See also Night panel on page 59). In daylight or other equally bright light, the instrument and switch illumination is automatically extinguished. Turn signal and lane change indicators 1 Right indicators 2 Left indicators Turn signal and lane change indicators To switch on the turn signals/lane change indicators, move the stalk up or down. The stalk has fixed positions for indicating a right or left turn, and the indicators are cancelled automatically (stalk returns to off position). The stalk also has an intermediate, spring-loaded position that is useful for signalling when changing lanes or passing. The respective indicator lights on the instrument panel flash at the same frequency as the direction indicators. WARNING In poor visibility, avoid following the tail lights of the vehicle in front. If the vehicle stops suddenly, you may be unable to avoid a collision and therefore risk injury to yourself and others. IB354
