Lights have to be on and turn signal has to be on for cornering lights to activate. By the way the fog lamps are in the headlight housing.

Only the Elite model has heated rear seats. The switches are right on the console between the two seats.

Weird that the seat backs wouldn't heat up. They did on my 2000 model year.

Heated seats question

Do your front heated seats heat your back and your butt? Mine only seem to heat the seat not the seatback. 2004 Elite. Haven't checked the rear heated seats to see what happens there.
