Clear vision
Coming home situation
In
darkness, the activated system will turn on the headlights, side
marker lights , rear side marker lights , tail lights, and rear license
plate light as soon as the driver's door is opened from inside.
As long as one of the doors or the rear lid remains open, the set of
external lights will keep burning for about four minutes maximum.
To provide light for departure, the set of vehicle lights will keep
burning for about another 30 seconds after all doors and the rear lid
have been closed.
The factory-set time of 30 seconds until the lights are switched off can be adjusted if you prefer a longer or shorter duration. Have the
adjustment done by your authorized Audi dealer or a qualified work­
shop. The system can be adjusted to keep the lights burning for a
maximum of 60 seconds.
Leaving home situation
As soon as the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the
CD button on your
remot e control, the set of external l ights is switched on .
The external lights are switched off as soon as the driver's door is
opened from outside . Even if you had the system readjusted to keep
the lights burning for an extended time for coming home, the
external lights will be turned off if you do not open the driver's door
within 60 seconds after unlocking. See chapter "Opening and
Closing" in your Owner's Manual. If the lights are switched off
before you reach the driver's door, press the@ button once more to
turn them on again.
[ i] Tips
• Do not attach any stickers to the windshield in front of the two
light sensors, as this would interfere with both the automatic oper­
ation of the headlights and the automatic dimming of the inside
mirror(s). • If
the vehicle is remotely unlocked and locked three times in
succession, leaving home will not turn on the lights a fourth time to
safeguard the battery and lights.
• If you wish to use the coming home/leaving home function regu­
larly, you can leave it activated at all times without risking perma­
nent strain on the electrical system. As the system is controlled by
light sensors, it will only be energized in darkness .
• Frequent use of the coming home/leaving home function for
approaching and departing a vehicle parked in the dark will strain
the battery. This applies particularly if only short distances are
driven between stops . Occasionally drive longer distances to make
sure the battery is recharged sufficiently.
• If the fog lights have been switched on by the coming
home/leaving home function, they will always be switched off when
you switch on the ignition. •
