Turn the light switch all the way to the right and pull it until you see green light indicating fog lights

I don't understand! You want your fog lights to be off?

Surrounding lights turns on only when you unlock the car at night once you get in they go off. And when you drive they can only be activated manually. You telling me your fog lights on all the time when you drive?

How many lights you've gotin total? 6?

...
njmaxpayne, please take a minute and read pages 125 & 126 of your owners manual under "corner-illuminating front fog lamps".
Also see page(s) 394/395 for the exterior lights & their functions.

The fog lights do not come on in response to darkness when the light switch is set to auto or the DRL function is enabled.
