Cornering or static bending lamps
Additional lighting comes from the
cornering or static bending lamps which
are angled outwards from the centre line
of the vehicle.
These lamps broaden the beam of the
headlamps when cornering during normal
night driving.
The illustration shows the light spread of a
vehicle NOT FITTED 1 with static bending
lamps and a vehicle FITTED 2 with static
bending lamps.
The system switches on the lamp if it has
received an input from the vehicle’s
direction indicator. As the system is
ignition based, the lamp will not stay on
even if the vehicle is parked with the
direction indicator lever in the operating
position.
Only the lamp on the same side as the
operating direction indicator illuminates.
Note: Excessive rotation of the steering
wheel while the ignition system is in the
OFF position may cause incorrect
calibration of the static bending lamps. In
extreme situations the lamps may operate
earlier than previously experienced.
However, correct calibration of the lamps
is automatically re-established within 30
seconds of the vehicle being driven.
