1998 Volvo S70 non-turbo
To the left of the steering wheel is a rocker switch which has a white symbol resembling a right-facing headlight with three small horizontal lines with a wavy vertical line going through them.

Can someone tell me what that switch is for?

Thanks in advance.

Ive forgotten which one that is, but one switch is fog lights, front, and the other is the single fog lamp, rear.

I think if you only have one its the rear fog lamp on the driver side of the car.

Yep.

About twice a year I’ll see one of these cars driving in front of me on the freeway with the bright red light on in the rear. You just wonder how many years has this guy thought he has fog lights?

I had that light on my 1994 850 and I took it to the dealer for service and the tech called it the "asshole' light.

If it keeps somebody from hitting me,
he can call it whatever he wants.

Now, glaring headlights ... ?
Go right ahead!

It's the " don't hit me in the ......" Light

Thanks to all who enlightened me about that switch.
I’d actually checked the front end of the car with the button on and off and didn’t see a difference — no wonder, it controls the rear fog light!

One other thing: there’s a snowflake symbol to the right of the odometer. Once in a blue moon a yellow light in its center lights up. Can anyone clue me in as to what that rarely-appearing light is?

Thanks again.
