I took the short extract from the Bolero section of the Scala Owners Manual. Does this allow the radio volume to be varied with speed? (I’ll try it when I next take the car out.) I specifically raised that function with the dealer as a feature I was keen to have in whatever car we purchased, and was told it wasn’t available with the Scala. I tried it with the car parked, and didn’t notice any change. I did find “ Volume adjustment” which runs from “Off” to “7”.

I couldn’t find “ Speed dependent volume settings” in the Owner’s Manual or in our Bolero radio menu.
#Fog light symbol how to#
But I’ve never had a car with front fog lights before, and I don’t know whether there is a recommendation for how to set the other lights. If the switch had operated the fog lights by turning, that would remove the choice between using fog lights with “Auto” “Parking” and “Low beam”. I was expecting that, as the rear fog light symbol is further from the “Off” position than the front fog light symbol, turning the switch past the front fog light symbol to the rear fog light symbol would put both on (which of course is what happens with the pull switch). If I am suffering from glare then I am travelling too fast.
I am therefore not a fan of sidelights and front fog lights, the fog lights are of little use, so all you're doing is reducing the chances of being seen by other road users. they automatically lower the angle of the beam to prevent glare.

The main reason being is that the latest LED headlights recognise when the driver turns on the rear fog lights and are then able to adapt themselves for driving in fog, i.e. Unfortunately this means that your speed needs to extremely low to be able to benefit from their light output, at higher speeds fog lights offer very little advantage, which is why they're largely redundant these days, I can't remember the last time I actually saw a car driving to the conditions 😂 The reason fog lights can be turned on with the headlight switch in the sidelight position is for that exact reason, so you can avoid the backwards glare from dipped headlights off the dense fog.įog lights are set low, as you say, to help illuminate the road low and close to the car, and avoid the glare.
The symbols around the switch will be there to identify which switchgear operates the front/rear fogs on your car, similar to the symbols on your stalks. You can just pull the switch outwards, it doesn't need to be turned to the positions on the bezel that marry up to the fog light indicators it seems you've now found that out. What I miss most compared to other cars is that the Nissan Primera our Scala replaced, and our 2 nd car, a Honda Jazz, both had radios that could be set to vary their volume with speed, so that a setting loud enough to hear at motorway speed isn’t unpleasantly loud when stationary.
So far we’ve no regrets about our choice. PS We chose the Scala wanting a modest car but with plenty of head and legroom in the back seats, and space in the boot. Can anyone explain what the meaning and purpose of the fog light symbols around the lighting switch is? It still wouldn’t turn to the fog light positions, but then I noticed that the fog lights were on anyway, with confirming indicators on the dashboard. Subsequently I studied the manual, which explained that I need to pull the switch out to turn on the fog lights. But the switch wouldn’t turn to the fog light positions, so I managed without fog lights. The lighting switch has “Auto” “Parking” and “Low beam” symbols at about 1, 2 and 3 o’clock, “Front fog lights” symbol at about 10 o’clock and “Rear fog light” symbol at about 9 o’clock. One evening recently I drove into fog for the first time in our Scala, and wasn’t sure how to turn on the fog lights. We bought a Scala, delivered a couple of months ago.
