  1. Alt-weather lights

Applies to: vehicle with all-weather lights: The headlights automatically adjust so that there will be less glare, for example when the road surface is wet.

Automatic headlight range control

Your vehicle is equipped with automatic headlight range control. It reduces glare for oncoming traffic if the vehicle load changes. The headlight range adjusts automatically.

Audi adaptive light

Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive light

Audi adaptive light provides better visibility when driving in the dark. The lights are adapted to the road conditions based on speed, such as when driving on expressways, rural roads, at intersections, and around curves. The adaptive light only functions when the automatic headlights are activated.

WARNING

  • Observe the safety precautions and note the limits of the assist systems, sensors, and cameras.
  • Automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver. The driver is still responsible for controlling the headlights and may need to switch them on and off manually depending on light and visibility conditions.

    For example, fog cannot be detected by the light sensors. So always switch on the low beams under these weather conditions and when driving in the dark.

Tips

  • If the vehicle battery has been discharging for awhile, the parking light may switch off automatically. Avoid using the parking lights for several hours.
  • Follow the regulations applicable to the country where you are operating the vehicle when stopping the vehicle and when using the lighting systems.
  • Only the front headlights are on when the daytime running lights are switched on. In vehicles in certain markets, the tail lights will also turn on.
  • In cool or damp weather, the inside of the headlights, turn signals, and tail lights can fog over due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. They will clear shortly after switching them on. This does not affect the service life of the lighting.
  • When the parking lights are switched on and the ignition is switched off, the symbol appears in the light switch module.
