How do I turn on the fog lights?

The fog lights are an important safety feature that give your vehicle added visibility in foggy conditions. These lights are controlled by the fog lamp band, which is located on the turn signal lever. To turn on the fog lamps, rotate the fog lamp band to the FOG symbol, then release. The band will return to its original position, and the fog lights will be on. Repeat this process to turn off the fog lights.
