Cornering light function
The cornering light improves the illumination of
the road over a wide angle in the turning direction,
enabling better visibility on tight curves, for
example. It can be activated only when the low
beam is switched on.
The function is active in the following cases:
At speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h) when
the turn signal light is switched on or the
steering wheel is turned
At speeds between 25 mph (40 km/h) and
43 mph (70 km/h) and when the steering
wheel is turned
Roundabout and intersection function: the
cornering light will be activated on both sides
based on an evaluation of the vehicle's current
GPS position...
