All-weather lights*
On AudiTTs with all-weather lights, the front lights are adjusted automatically so that the headlights on your own AudiTT do not blind you, for instance when driving on a wet road.
Your AudiTT is equipped with a headlight range control to prevent oncoming traffic from being dazzled when the AudiTT is heavily laden. The headlight beam settings are adjusted automatically (even during braking and acceleration).
Light functions
The following light functions depend on which equipment is fitted in your AudiTT and work only when the light switch is set to AUTO. You can deactivate them in the Audi adaptive light menu in the infotainment system link►.
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on AudiTTs with LED headlights) - the turning light is automatically activated when the steering wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature provides better illumination at the side of the AudiTT when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on AudiTTs with LED headlights) - this function adjusts the AudiTT lighting on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on AudiTTs with LED headlights) - this function adjusts the light distribution as required in towns, on motorways and on other main roads. Intersections can also be illuminated if your AudiTT is equipped with a navigation system*.
- 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.
- Some of the settings for the exterior lighting can be adjusted in the driver information system.
- A buzzer will sound if you remove the ignition key and open the door when the exterior lighting is on.
- On AudiTTs for some markets, the rear lights switch on together with the daytime running lights.
- 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 AudiTT lights.
