when turning, one of the two front fog lamps is
switched on as a corneringlamp. As a result
the inside of the curve is better lighted.
Activating Switch position
with the ignition switched
on.
The cornering lamps are automatically
switched on depending on the steering angle
or the use of turn signals.
