Default Stupid newbie question

I have searched my owners manual high and low but can not figure out why my light switch has two positions for fog lights. If you have the parking lights or headlights on and pull one click the fogs come on....but you can pull the **** one more click. What does it do?

if you lived in germany...you would have a rear fog light option.

by pulling the switch one click...this activate the front fogs and to pull it two notches/clicks this would activate the rear fog but there is no rear fog lamp for the US cars...so to answer your question... it doesn't do a thing.

Well this is just starting to get a bit silly. We drive on the other side of the road because oncoming traffic is using the other side. I hope this clears it up. :roll:

Okay, that's it... gotta get out of town after that one!!! The XF is all fueled up and I'm ready to take a ride up to Las Vegas tomorrwow and meet up with some other XF owners for a short cruise and dinner. After the dust settles, I'll bring up the question for discussion... on second thought, never mind. :lol:

That's it, now I'm really all turned around!!! Which side is the right side??? I went out to the street in front of my house just to make sure I had this "right" thing down right. I looked one way and the "right" was on the right. Then I looked the other way and the "right" was still on the right. Soooooooooo, which "right" is right??? ...and they even let me drive 18 wheelers!!! ha ha ha...:wink:

Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow about 1330 or so at your home. Oh, which side of the street is your home on again? The right or the other right??? Never mind... azbobk ought to be able to figure it out!!! :lol:

Just be glad you are not using the currency from "over the pond".....

Ponuds, Quids, Euros, give me a break!

And as of 6:00 P.M. E.D.T on xe.com/ucc, the conversions are:

1.00 USD = 0.811755 EUR

and

1.00 USD = 0.549780 GBP (United Kingdom Pounds)

Just tell me how much it is for a box of Twinkies and a bottle of Dr. Pepper!!!!!

Is this some kind of a conspiracy??? Excuse me. I am so sorry I went down that road....

:lol:

Oh and by the way - have a great time on your trip!!!
