Rear Fog Warning Icon

I just got my car back from the repair shop. The left quarter panel and trim was replaced. I noticed an exclamation mark in the tach display and when I displayed system info it showed this icon. What the heck is this? All the lights seem to be working. I don't see it in the manual.

Seems like it would mean the fog light(s) are out. But if you say all lights are functioning properly then I dunno.

I do not have a manual, in that I have yet to take delivery of my car. Could it be the fog light (rear) symbol? I am guessing

I'm embarrassed. I didn't check my rear fogs. Must be the rear fogs since it resembles the indicator symbol. I will check in the morning. Funny the symbol doesn't make it the manual. My car is parked far away and it is freezing.

In the 2008 manual, this symbol is described as the rear fog light being out.

There's been other reports of bulbs still working, but not drawing enough current to avoid the warning- sometimes happens when people swap to LED bulbs too.

Thanks. You are right guys. It was my rear fog. So obvious in retrospect. Guess I got flustered. Now I have to take the car back to the shop.
