front lights

[Nomis Ramel]

hello. i recently got a 65 plate nx.  looking at the lights at the front at the very bottom (they also house the fog lights) i notice they come on periodically. i dont touch anything as always

have the switch on auto.  What triggers these light please. i cant see anything in the handbook. i  have premier spec in case that makes a difference...maybe an extra but still dont know what activates them.

 

?.

Probably directional - left one comes on when turning left, right one when turning right. I think the car has to be above a certain speed for this to happen.

It's the other way around actually. Cornering lights only work up to around 20 or 30 mph.

If you look at these lights closely, you will notice that there are two lights built into the housing. Cornering lights on the outside, fog lights on the inside.

That must be covered within the Handbook, surely ?

Thank you both will have a look in the mrng. I noticed they were on though when stationary in a queque and saw them reflecting off the van in front.

Will have another look in the handbook becos as u say there must be a reference.

If they were both in at the same, this would suggest that your fog lights were on.

Cornering lights come on either on the right or the left. If your steering wheel is slightly off centre, this will be sufficient to activate them

Righto I will have a play around tomorrow.  Will report back.

Years back when I picked up my 65plate NX, my misses needed the ladies before we set off home, I was in the car ready and itching to go.
She spotted one of the fog lights wasn't working, so she went back into the showroom, an engineer said because the steering wheel was slightly turned that sides light will come on as they're directional. This function can be disabled, but once you've used your lost without it.
Hope this helps

hello. went outside once it was dark and yes they are directional lights and were not both on at the same time so i must have had the fog lights on which is a mystery as i am normally pretty aware of what switches i have put on.  anyhow all good now. thanks input from each/all of you.
