Instruments and controls WARNING 63 IB355 Front fog lights The front fog lights can be activated in both dimmed headlamp and parking light positions. Fog lights should only be used in poor visibility conditions. Make sure you are familiar with the applicable provincial/state law regarding the use of fog lights. Hazard warning lights Hazard warning lights When this button is pressed, all the turn signal indicators and a symbol in the button flash simultaneously. If the ignition is on, both indicator lights on the instrument panel will also flash. If the hazard warning lights are left on for some time, the flasher frequency will be reduced to save the battery. Hazard warning lights should only be used if the car constitutes a hazard to other road users. Reversing lights The reversing lights come on automatically when reverse gear is engaged or selected with the ignition switched on. IB356 Switch on the hazard flashers if the car has to be left at the roadside on account of an accident, engine trouble or a puncture. If you carry a warning triangle or flares, they should be set up along side of the road 300 ft. (100 m) behind your vehicle. If the car is not clearly visible (e.g. over the brow of a hill or bridge), place the triangle/flare even further back.
