Headlamp converter* for driving abroad
The asymmetric low beams of the headlights are designed to light up the near side of the road more intensely. If you drive a right-hand drive Audi Q5 in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, you will dazzle oncoming traffic. To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic:
- On Audi Q5s with xenon lights*, the headlamp converter must be activated.
- On Audi Q5s with halogen lights, you have to apply opaque stickers to certain parts of the headlight lenses. For further information, please consult an Audi dealer or other qualified workshop.
Note
If the headlamp converter is activated, this is displayed in the driver information system every time the ignition is switched on.
