Rear fog light on

What it means

This amber light usually means the rear fog light is switched on. Amber here is generally an operating indicator, not a fault warning; the symbol and colour can vary by manufacturer.

What the symbol looks like: A lamp-shaped symbol with a wavy line and horizontal beams, usually pointing right.

Why it comes on

• The rear fog light was switched on manually.
• A fog-light control was moved accidentally.
• The rear fog light remained on after conditions changed.

What to do

1. Use the rear fog light only when visibility is seriously reduced.
2. Switch it off as soon as visibility improves.
3. Check the owner's manual if you are unsure how to operate it.

Can I keep driving?

You can usually keep driving, but switch the rear fog light off when it is no longer needed because it can dazzle drivers behind you.
