Fog lights

The fog lights are on: a green symbol means front, an amber one means rear. The lamp informs rather than warns.

These lamps are not about a fault: they say a system is switched on, or remind you of something simple to do.

What to do now

  1. ⚠️ Rear fog lights in clear weather dazzle the driver behind worse than main beam. They are for fog and heavy rain, not for show.
  2. If the symbol stays on after switching off — a stuck button or column switch.
  3. If they do not come on at all, start with the fuse and the bulbs themselves: they sit low and are the first to suffer from water and stones.

Codes usually behind it

The lamp only says that something is wrong. The code says what exactly — read it with an adapter and look it up here.

A lamp is not a diagnosis. The same symbol lights up for a dozen different reasons, and only the code stored in the car tells them apart.

How the app helps

CarScan reads the codes behind the lamp through an OBD-II adapter, explains them in plain words and puts them into a report you can show to a mechanic.
