Fog Lights Go Turn on When Turning

Has anyone noticed that when yopu are coming to a stoplight the fog light, in the direction you are turning, turns on and fades out after you are done turning?

After taking delivery of the car I drove behind, on the side of and in front of my wofe as she drove her baby home and I noticed that little "feature" as we were getting off the freeway exit. It doesn't happen when changing lanes or other "quick" turns but it does do it when you are leaving your blinker on a for a bit such as a stoplight etc..

I thought it looked pretty cool but didn't know it did that

Thoughts?

Seriously, the Owner's Manual has all sorts of good information, like this, in it. It is a very interesting read.

Epacy is an unknown quantity at this point
I've found people don't read their manual at all. Then, come on to websites and post many questions that are answered in their manual. And it would be faster to read the manual then post on here and wait for someone to respond.

Who downloaded and read the manual before they took delivery?

I think most of us know what the main features are of it through the brochure, research, etc. It is information overload if you read the whole manual---we are an information now society ha. Like I just figured out what the hissing sound was underneath mine when I go to open the door--it's the self-leveling rear suspension since I have the 3rd row seats.

I raise my hand. I find it interesting to learn as much as possible about the vehicles I drive. But then I am a bit of an engineer.

I can raise my hand for both me and the wife. Yep you heard right she has and continues to read the manual. In fact she has never visited the e-60 site at all.
