Has anyone noticed their front foglights come on when reverse gear is selected and main lights are on??........Just wondered!!
I know they come on when turning corners,but didnt know then come on when selecting reverse!

They do!!

Yup!Mine do that too.

Its so you can see clearlywhere you've been.

I suspect its to illuminate the area to the left and right of the front wings of the car, so that when going backwards the front has a tendency to swing out wide. This way you can see how much room you have to the front left and front right of the car.
Must admit have not noticed an explanation either in the user guide or by the dealer. Mind you by then my eyes would have glazed over.

Oh thats ok then......did the parking sensors not go off??

 

[bigbadtony]

dont think they had a chance TC...ive left the bubble wrap on the car from when i got it lol

Something else to watch on the front foglights/cornering lights...........if you have headlights on when you use the indicators the corresponding front foglight comes on.........so..............

They come on when turning steering wheel in a corner and also come on when using indicators....................amazing what you find out when you are bored at traffic lights
