Cornering lights, and a few other questions

[jobbiejew]

Originally posted this on the Citroen Berlingo & Peugeot Partner U.K. Facebook group but thought I’d post here as well to get some fetcher information. 

Went scrolling through the settings of the BSI using Diagbox on my 1.6HDI B9 and came across a few different settings including change of tyre size, cornering lights, etc. 

Tomorrow I’ll be taking delivery of the cruise control stalk and LVVD accelerator pedal so I was out familiarising myself with the cruise control and speed limitation settings before I fit and activate that tomorrow. 

The corner lights option has me scratching my head. There’s 3:4 options in there for static and dynamic lighting. I do have front fog lights fitted so can cornering lights be activated via that setting? It’s standard halogen twin filament bulbs I have and not xenon. 

Also curious about the “Royal Mail configuration”. Anyone able to shed some light into what that is and what that setting does?

Only a guess, but Royal Mail vans traditionally have night heaters.
Could also be a speed limiting option.

You're being ironic, right...?

With French cars, who knows...

I only opened this topic because " cornering lights " had me intrigued ..... !!

Had visions of lights getting brighter or something similar the harder and faster you went around the bends

Oh well sadly let down, again !

So cornering lights only seem to work if you have ESP. The stuff that I want to do doesn’t seem to work on Diagbox 7.57 so updating to 7.83. Messed the update up when I got to 7.66 so having to start the update again. Began the updates 3pm, it’s now 1:30am and I’m back to square one argh! Wish the front fog lights could double as cornering likes without ESP but that seems to be asking too much of a French car

I watch cars coming towards the junction opposite our house and see the "cornering lights" coming on and really can't see the purpose of them. I thought cornering lights were the optional flashing orange ones fitted to BMW and Audi cars.

My skoda has cornering lights (fog lights), they only work under 30mph and are useful when on an unlit country road junction where they help you see whats round the corner at night.

Having worked in royal mail workshops for 30 years I've never known small Royal Mail vans , Berlingo/transit sizes ,to have a night heater. I retired before diagnostics were introduced in the vans.

BT linesmens transits had gas operated heaters in the workshop type bodies for drying wet clothing.

" Royal Option " may have something to do with access as there were different drivers and the early berlingos had keypads which needed a code entered before they would start.  The berlingos I remember didnt have keypads so maybe  it was  a way of coding them out. 

It wouldn't work with all different drivers trying to remember different codes for different vans

Those type of lights on BMW and Audi vehicles I would call dynamic lighting or chaser lights when the indicator chases itself.

I activated the cornering lights on the Mrs Octavia VRS without any issues and it’s a 20 year old (51 plate) car lol. Very surprised that didn’t need any extras and was easily activated using the Carista diagnostic interface
