5 Series E60 525xd (M57T2) SAL
Note: Temperature monitoring by temperature model
A temperature model in the footwell module calculates the temperature of the reflector. The temperature of
the reflector must not exceed a certain value. If a critical temperature is reached, the footwell module (FRM)
will deactivate the turning lights. The turning lights can be activated again after a cooling-off phase.

E70 with start of series production
The turning lights are realised using the front foglights. (Reason: The installation location of the headlights
is too high for the turning lights. This prevents legal stipulations from being adhered to.)
Depending on actuation, the right-hand and/or left-hand front foglight is switched on. The turning lights are
actuated by the light module (LM).
The front foglights have an additional reflector to illuminate the areas to the sides better.
When turning, the front foglight on the inside of the turn is automatically activated. The additional reflector
for the turning light reflects the light beam towards the turning area.
The turning light are not switched on suddenly but rather faded according to special time parameters.
Depending on the country concerned, the turning lights are switched on when cornering.
