I believe the Cornering Lights can be disabled if you leave the headlight switch all the way to the right, in the manual ON position. You also lose the adaptive headlight.

What's not to like about the function? Y'all don't like being able to check for pedestrians, cyclists, puddles of water, or potholes when turning at an intersection?

No, it's just annoying to get comments from people telling me I have a light burned out. You are right about it being a great safety feature when in motion, but when one stays on when stopped is the frustrating thing.

Folks do that for you? Wow, if I'm afraid to do that because I don't want strangers to think I'm some c*ck. Otherwise I'd be practically telling folks everyday that either 1) It's dark out and you forgot your headlights, 2) Your door is ajar, 3) You have multiple brake lights out and should get it fixed ASAP, or 4) Your full beams are on, dip them so you don't blind everyone else.

To me it seems a useless gimmick. Somehow I've managed to get
buy for 30 years with headlight. I generally don't turn onto ground I've not already looked at as I drive up to said intersection.

^ The cornering lights are just another driver aid. I agree, what is not to like about them.

For those who got by in the last 30 years without them why don't you also lose abs, dsc etc etc, I'm pretty sure you got by without those too.
