I like to check that the lights work regularly & the reversing light, in the daytime, came on as it should when taking reverse gear last time I checked it.
Today I was backing the Captur out of the garage.
I started it up & the main lights came on as they should on "AUTO" as it was dark.
I then put it into reverse. The front spotlights came on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asked my wife to check if the reversing lights had also come on & they had.
Should the front spotlights respond to reverse gear when the main lights are on???????????
Seems pretty strange to me.

Mine is the same. I'm sure I've read somewhere that it is by design.

Yes the front fogs come on when selecting reverse gear......they also iluminate when turning and also with the corresponding indicator light!


Noticed quite a few new models from different manufacturers have the same set up!

Just looked: Yes the fog light does also come on with the corresponding indicator.

What must a car coming the other way think of this "light show"!

Is this more Gallic eccentricity?

Very practical as it lights yp your garage when reversing!!

Hi bit off the subject but is your captur Stone colour

 

[Ythsie]

Yes it is...It is the stone / beige metalic colour...I'm very happy with the colour....Mine has the black roof as well, but the all over stone looks very smart as well!!

Fog lights or cornering lights come on in reverse! Supposed to
