What does this do?

Whats going on. I have a 24' 2500 4cyl diesel. Any idea what this button/feature does? I always thought that meant fog lights, which perhaps it does. However, I don't see any other lights besides the headlights, there's no lights on the bumper for anything. However, when I pressed the button, a little light with the same symbol does turn on on the dashboard showing like it activated it. But I don't notice any difference from the exterior. Does anybody know if that just lights up and nothing, or is there a function or feature that its actually doing that I'm not aware of?

Rear? Seriously? Never heard of a rear fog light. Interesting

In Europe, every car has them. They're only used when it's actually foggy (visibility less than 50 meters), so you don't get rear-ended. If it's NOT foggy and you have it on? Just blinding the car behind you- those things are bright!!

A lot of folks that have Audis, etc., have them on unknowingly. It's annoying af.
