CX-5 owners with factory fog lights - question

[Cobra jet]

For those of you who have a CX-5 with the factory fog lights, when you turn the fogs ON, is there an illuminated icon in the dash cluster or not?

Ours is a 2016.5 Touring with factory fogs. I do not see any illuminated icon in the dash cluster when the fogs are turned on, as one would expect with any other vehicle equipped with factory fog lights. The fog lights do turn on and are working.

Please post a pic if yours dash cluster shows an illuminated fog light icon.

Thanks!

I do not think I have ever seen a Mazda with a FOG LIGHT indicator...? Do other cars have them?

If I ever question if they are on while driving, I can tell by the ground lit up in front of the car.

as of 2016, US Specs, there's no fog light indicator that I know of. I just leave the switch on 'auto' and forget about it.

this is the only documentation I see online after a very cursory search.

I sure wish this was in a sticky somewhere here on the forums... Thanks boandlkramer!

There is no light on the dash, I also just set it to auto.

Mazdadude: I know my Chevy's had a light on the dash to let you know the fog lights were on.

Mazda should leave those front/rear fog light dash indacators alone like everybody else in the world. Although it's an international standard, but Mazda had decided to eliminate fog-light-on indicators on CX-5's dash to save some pennies in NA market. I really miss these fog indicators as it's not easy to tell if my front fog-lights are on or not when I drive our CX-5 in the dark with bright LED headlights. And this's the only way to tell while driving if your rear fog light is on with a dash indicator. The top-left green symbol is the front fog and the top-right amber symbol is for rear fog. Of course the third symbol, which we do have it, is for lights-on indicator.
