It's been pretty clear from the start of this manual that they made it for the original model of this machine, and haven't updated it since, but now it's just getting ridiculous. It's practically useless at this point.

I have an error notification on my car. It says a certain light is malfunctioning. But the words "cornering light" for the error do not match any words in the car instruction manual.
Physically I cannot figure out which light bulb or signal is malfunctioning because none are burnt out and they all have light/seem to work. There are something like 50+ lights/LEDs on the outside of the car (literally) and I've narrowed it down to the 4 most probably that might be throwing the malfunction error (Signal light, DRL, angel eye or fog light). But physically, they all look like they are functioning.
Then I read online with people with the same car that I need an H3 bulb for replacing the lamp to get rid of the error error, but then I type in my car on certain websites and some H3 bulbs are compatible vs some are not because halogen vs LED conversion etc.
Then I read the instruction manual online and it says it's actually an H7 bulb and H3 is not compatible. Then I physically go back to the car to try and see which one to replace, but they all have light. So I am back to having no damn clue which one might need to be replaced PLUS I cannot easily look inside the light housing to confirm if the bulb is an H3 or H7 without removing the bulb (which I fear I'd break it) and why would I spend an hour removing a functioning bulb just to learn about that?
I'm basically concluding this might be an electrical gremlin and there is no actual bulb that is not working.
Not only is the wording discrepancy annoying, but at the same time, what the flying ####?? 50+ lights on the outside of a car? I don't think I've owned any other car that has more than 10-12.
