Question my rear fog lights dont work!
I always assumed these come on with the lights, or at least when I brake but it seems they dont. They come straight from the factory this way, I havent installed it on my own or anything.
When do these function?

Your left blinker stalk has a foglight icon that you switch it to on. I believe its covered in the manual. US models don't come equipped with the option.

Try turning the light stalk middle section. It will turn the fog lights on only when the headlights are on too or in the auto mode and on.

If they did then they would have all the answers and there wouldn't be any enthusiast forums!

haha, I do read the manual, except normally foglight is an on/off switch just like the normal lights. I assumed it wasnt going to be a spring-back type switch, thats just duff. anyway, all's good now!
