This is an additional light source to dipped beam headlights
to light up the road as a bend is taken.The cornering light operates with the lights switched on and when driving at
less than 40 Km/h. They light up when the steering wheel is turned or the

In vehicles with start-stop and/or automatic headlight system
As soon as the driver door is opened, the system will switch on the dipped
lights for 30 seconds. If the door is closed during this 30-second period, the
dipped lights will stay on (from this moment) for 15 seconds.

switch to when the lights flash; after this, the Coming home function will not
activate. To activate it again, repeat the operation.
When the system is activated, dipped beam headlights remain on for 30
seconds after closing the door. If the door is open for more than 3 minutes,
the system will not remain active, which means that the dipped lights will not
light up.
Note
•If the vehicle is often used during the night for short trips and the Coming
home function is used, the battery will considerably discharge. To avoid this,
make longer journeys whenever possible.•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.
Heated rear window
