In this video we can see a very important thing, that is how to activate and deactivate the rear fog lights. The rear fog light emits a bright and diffuse red light, which warns other drivers of our presence when visibility is reduced, and should only be used when visibility is less than 50 meters, or in case of heavy rain or intense snowfall.

However, it is essential not to abuse it, as in normal visibility conditions it can be extremely annoying for the vehicles behind us. We operate this light from the lever located on the left side of the steering wheel: it will only turn on with the low beams on, and we will have to move the central part of the lever upwards: an orange light will turn on in the top right of the dashboard.

We will disable it by moving the central part of the lever downwards.

The light will then turn off.
