Clear vision
Applies to vehicles : with Adaptive Light
Adaptive Light
When driving around bends, the relevant area of the road
is better illuminated.
Switching on Adaptive Light
Fig . 56 Adaptive Light
when driving
- Turn the light switch to AUTO~ page 65, fig. 53.
The Adaptive Light is a dynamic cornering light. When the light is on,
it follows the curve of the road. It is dependant upon the vehicle
speed and the angle of the steering wheel. The curve is then better
illuminated. The system works when the vehicle is moving from
6 mph (10 km/) to 68 mph (110 km/h).
The cornering light will switch on automatically at a specific steering
wheel angle. It works up to an approximate speed of 44 mph
(70 km/h).
At approximately 72 mph (115 km/h) the expressway light switches
on, which better distributes the light and increases the light cone
range . The expressway light switches off at approximately 62 mph
(100 km/h). •
Applies to vehicles : w ith light package
Perimeter lighting in the mirror housing
LEDs in the exterior mirror housing illuminate the ground
during entry.
This function ensures that when unlocking, the vehicle periphery is
illuminated in the dark. LEDs in the exterior mirror housing are
switched on. The function cannot be turned off separately .•
Emergency flasher ~
The emergency flasher makes other motorists aware that
you or your vehicle are in an emergency situation.

nearest authorized Audi dea ler for information on approved mod ular
roof rac ks for your vehicle .
• T hese approved roof racks a re the basis for a complete roof rack
system. Add itiona l attachments for the basic roof rack are necessary

vehicle.
When should the roof rack be remo ved?
• Before going through an automat ic car wash (it is best to ask the
car wash operator for advice) .

guard against theft .
& WARNING

• Always check the roof rack mountings and hardware before each
t rip and dur ing a trip to ma ke sure everyth ing is sec urely tig htened. If
