Dynamic cornering not working?
« on: 22 January 2014, 21:38 »
I've noticed that the lights that aim to the side in the headlights don't seem to be working.

I've looked in the settings page and turned them off and back on again (technical trick), but to no avail. When I demo'd the GTD, they functioned while stationary (which makes it easier to see if they're on), but should they? Are they actually working, but I can't see it when stationary as they don't function?

when stationary, that is the static lights, not the dynamic cornering ones :)

Sorry, you're right, that's what I meant. Those side aiming lights don't appear to be functioning :(

hmmmm, well i'm pretty sure there is a limit to the speeds they work, but easily visible in the dark...
Interested to find out a bit more about them etc though - might go do some digging.

The Dynamic cornering (not the fog lights coming on at each side) only work above 60kph/40mph. You can set these in the central computer thing to Sport, normal or off...

Its worth noting they don't come on if you've got Eco mode selected I believe.

That IS worth noting. The car is currently in eco.

Stand by for a quick run outside in my jammies to check...

Easy way to check if the lights themselves are working is to stick it in reverse as for some reason VW have decided to enable reversing lights on the front!

Problem solved :)

To clarify, the low speed side lights will NOT come on in Eco mode.

Thanks Kyle!
