I believe this is the "corner follow feature" (or something like that). When you indicate, the fog light on that side comes on to light the kerb, then goes out again. Also, if the indicator bulb goes, it flashes the fog light instead.

It will put the light on if a certain angle is reached by the steering. In my opinion, this comes on far too easily. It would be better if it only happened on full lock.

As per jberks it is the corner light function, it works up to around 25mph.
