AUTO -Automatic headlight control*
With the switch in the AUTO position, the low beams are switched on
automatically depending on the ambient light, for example in a
tunnel, at dusk and when it is raining or snowing . When the low
beams are switched on, the
;oo :: symbol comes on. The low beams
remain switched on regardless of the ambient light when you turn on
the fog lights.
When you turn off the ignition, the low beams are automatically
switched off .
On vehicles w ith a rain sensor the headl ights switch on automatically
after a few windshield wiper passes . However, the instrument
lighting will not be switched on.
With automat ic headlight control, you also have the high-beam func­
tion available. However, if you have not switched high beams back to
low beams while driving with automatic headlight contro l, only the
low beams come on the next time you turn on automatic headlight
control. In order to return to high beams again, you first have to pull
the high beam lever back to the normal position and then push the lever forward.
Light sensor malfunction
In the event of a light sensor malfunction, the driver is notified in the
instrument cluster display:
Automatic driving lights/automatic wipers defective
For safety reasons, the low beams are turned on permanently w ith
the switch in
AUTO . However, you can continue to turn the lights on
and off using the light sw itch. Have the light sensor checked as soon
as possible at an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop . .,_

The emergency flashers will turn on automatically if you are in an acc ident where the airbag has deployed.
