Night visibility

[Klink1313]

I allegedlly have the turning feature on my R but I can't see much difference.

If I close one eye and stick out my tongue I think I can talk myself into seeing a slight movement in the direction of travel when cornering but thats it. If i close both eyes i find that the headlights seem to go out but that must be a feature of the auto headlights.

Perhaps my cornering feature doesn't work but i dont care enough to take it to the delaer to check.

Doesn't it only work under 20 or 30km/h?

From memory, I think it works above 20km/h. You have to turn the feature on in MFD, under Assistant or something along that line.

It is either called AFS (US English) or Bend Lighting (British English).

If you look closely at your headlights you will see on the side of one of the round light projectors a reflector and a bulb pointing out towards the front corners of your car. ( I think in the one housing the turn indicator, I would check but Marti has her car )

These are the turn assist lights (different to the directional BiXenon they get in some countries) they operate below 40KMH and work very well at lighting up the corners as you turn at night.

I can't remember if we turned them on in the convenience settings or not but they are there and do work very well. The are definitely mentioned in the manual but I'm probably the only one who reads that cover to cover.

Not having the lights that follow my s/wheel movement doesnt worry me...
Another gadget to go wrong and make life miserable.
The xenons throw heaps of light anyway

They have fixed cornering lights at lower speeds which is fine.

I thought they were in under the mirror. I sat in my driveway parked and turned the wheel from side to side just slightly and it looked like the light was from under the mirror.
I have the folding miorrors if that helps

No those are the coming home lights, the image below shows the turn assist lights it is the reflector and bulb pointing out to the front corner of the car from the side of the indicator light in the headlight cluster itself.
