, you can activate the following functions:
- All-weather lights. The front lights are adjusted automatically so that you are not dazzled, for instance when driving on a wet road.

Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
With the adaptive light feature, you have better vision in the dark because the lights are controlled dynamically to match the vehicle speed and road conditions, e.g. on motorways or country roads, at intersections or through corners. The adaptive light is activated only when the light switch is set to AUTO.
- 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.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the rear fog light should only be used in accordance with statutory regulations.
- Observe all relevant statutory requirements when using the lighting systems described here.
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 open the door when the exterior lights are on.
- Depending on the export market, the rear lights on some vehicles may be switched on together with the headlights when the daytime running lights* are activated. On other vehicles, the rear lights remain off.
- 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.
