Default Car Is Missing Owners Manual, Some Questions

Ok, some of these may seem weird, but I really dont know the answer lol, no owners manual

1) How do I turn the fogs on? Do they come on with normal headlights?

2) What is the "ESP" button for?

3) Can I disable the passenger side airbag? I know it comes on when someone is in the seat, but can I override it(question from my aunt who wants a NB now, she has a child that she is WAY over protective with)?

4) How much is a key? It looks expensive and I only have one, LOL.

If I think of anymore ill post them up, I love my NB, just getting used to the major downgrade in power from my modded DOHC Neon

you turn the fog lights on by turning on the headlights and pulling the switch out. Try ebay for a manual sometimes you can find them cheap.

The ESP button disables your traction control, the Dubaudi Gruppe renamed it the Enable Smoke Production button. Hehe.

Keys are $250+ for the switchblade/remote keys and like $100-soemthing for a valet key I believe (no remote, limited access -- won't unlock trunk or glovebox). As far as airbags, they can't be disabled by you.

You can get a new key/remote on eBay and have the dealer cut/program it for much less than going entirely through the service department.

Cool

You could find an owner's manual from a salvage yard if you make a few calls. I'm sure that they'd take anything ($) to sell off one of those (and there's a LOT of useful information in there for you)...
