Where is my fog light indicator?

[Hryb]

I was reading this thread, and saw darelldd's image of the Prius dashboard display w/ the EV indicator. Since I am in NA, I know I don't have that indicator, but I could not help noticing the other icons on the display, specifically the three on the far left. I think at least one of them is for fog lights. I though, well at the very least I should have that icon on my dash since I have a 2007 w/ Package NW (Nav, leather AND yes...the fog lights.) So on my way home tonight, I had my lights and fog lights on. Nope...no fog light indicator.



I have attached a picture of what my display looks like.

So the question is: Should I have a fog light indicator icon? Is my display normal? What are all the icons way over to the left on darelldd's image?



thanks.

well first as u can tell his lucky car is from prob the uk since the transmission is going from the left to right
i think its from not usa
and he stated in his mods that he did alot of things that u shldnt be receiving
one of such is the fog light indicator
and with the fog light indicator...isnt that automatically turned on when u turn on the lights, thus incorporated into the light indicator

The only indication that your fog lights are on is if you look at the switch. No lights on the display, and barely visible lights on the ground.

LOL! So true.

They probably assume you can tell your fogs are on by looking out the windshield. At night, you can see them hit the roadway.

I don't know why they bothered with the headlight indicator.

Thanks guys.

I was afraid something was not hooked up.

I went and looked at the UK 'Brief Guide' (PDF here, page 9) and was able to decode them. The indicators are for tail lights, fog lights and rear fog lights. Not sure why you need a tail light and indicator..but oh well.

I guess I am bummed that I don't even have a fog light indicator, when the UK version seems to OVER communicate what your various light status is

Barely. Of course, it might help a little if I washed them off again. They get dirty faster than the headlights.

The US cars get the "headlight on" indicator. Canadian models have the "taillight on" indicator.

Checked the indicator on my 2007 Prius. One month old today!


There are two fog light symbols on the right side of the display. One for the front and one for the rear.


And the front ones make life a little brighter, when driving home from late night work in foggy winter mornings....!
