Travel mode*
The headlight beam is asymmetrical. This pro
vides stronger illumination on the side of the
road on which you are driving. If you are driving
in a country that drives on the opposite side of
the road from your own country, this will cause
glare for oncoming drivers. To prevent glare:
- Travel mode must be selected in vehicles with
Xenon headlights* .
- In vehicles with halogen headlights, certain
areas of the headlight lenses must be covered
with waterproof adhesive covers that prevent light from passing through. For more informa
tion, please see your authorized Audi dealer or authorized repair facility.
When travel mode is activated, a display in
the driver information system indicates this
each time you switch the ignition on.
