Default Rear fog light question?

When i was at the dealership today i asked the crappy sales guy how to activate the rear fog light? and how do you turn it off/on. he started to play around with some of the buttons in the car while at the same time making me check if it was comming on or off... then he just came outta the car and said... oh its just a reflector??

Whats the real answer? is it not a fog light? and how do you turn it off/on? (canadian model)

thanks,

Well I'm not sure about your model, but on our one out here.
The Fog Light is turned on/off by the center piece of the indicator arm, you twist it forward while the lights are on.

Works like Lord Kain said. The headlights must be in the 'on' or 'auto' position in order to turn on the fog light.

Obviously you are dealing with a sales rep that knows little or nothing about the product he's selling. I would suggest a different dealer or at least, a different sales person!

As has been advised, the rear fog light (and no, it isn't just a reflector) works off the headlight stalk.
