are on causes them and their indicator 
lamp in the instrument panel to go off.
They do not come back on 
automatically when the tailgate is 
closed: they must be switched on again 
using the control stalk.In good or rainy weather, by both day 
and night, the front foglamps and the 
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these 
situations, the power of their beams 
may dazzle other drivers. They should 
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you 
should switch on the foglamps and 
dipped beam headlamps manually, 
as the sunshine sensor may detect 
sufficient
  light.

rear foglamps when they are no longer 
necessary.Switching off the lighting
