Headlight range control
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range control to prevent
oncoming traffic from being dazzled when the vehicle is heavily
laden.
On vehicles with xenon headlights*
,
the headlight beam settings are adjusted automatically (even
during braking and acceleration).
On vehicles with halogen headlights, the thumbwheel
Fig. 2 must
be used to adjust the headlight beam settings:
O - One or two front occupants, luggage compartment empty
I - All seats occupied, luggage compartment empty
II - All seats occupied, luggage compartment loaded
III - Driver only, luggage compartment loaded
- The automatic headlights*
are only intended to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when required, and may have
to switch them on manually when the light conditions or visibility
are poor. For example, the light sensors are not able to detect
fog. Therefore, you should always switch on the dipped headlights
in these conditions
and when driving after dark.
- Observe all relevant statutory requirements when using the lighting systems described here.
Caution!
To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the rear fog light should
only be used in accordance with statutory regulations.
Note
- The light sensor for the automatic headlights* is located in the mounting for the interior mirror. Do not affix any stickers on this section of the windscreen.
- A buzzer will sound if you remove the ignition key and open the door when the exterior lighting is on.
- On vehicles for some markets, the rear lights remain off when the daytime running lights are switched on.
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of the headlights, turn signals or rear lights can sometimes mist up, due to the temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the car. They should clear again partially or completely soon after you switch on the headlights. This phenomenon has no influence on the life expectancy of the vehicle lights.
- If you are towing a trailer or caravan equipped with a rear fog light on a vehicle with a towing bracket obtained from Audi Genuine Accessories and installed by a qualified workshop, only the rear fog light on the trailer or caravan will light up.
- Frequent short trips at night place a heavy load on the battery when the coming home/leaving home function is activated. We recommend occasional longer trips or the use of a battery charger to ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged Link.
