Automatic headlights*
The sensitivity of the light sensor (i.e. how soon the lights are
switched on) can be adjusted.Daytime running lights*
The daytime running lights are switched on and off together with
the ignition.
On vehicles for some markets the daytime running lights cannot be
switched off if the vehicle has halogen headlights.
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 vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, you will
dazzle oncoming traffic.
Vehicles with xenon headlights*: The headlamp converter should be
switched on to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
Vehicles with halogen headlights: Opaque stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses. For further informa-
tion, please consult an Audi dealer or other qualified workshop.
Instrument lighting
The background lighting of the instruments, the centre
console and the display can be adjusted as required.– Briefly press the knob to release it.
