Turn the switch to the corresponding position.
When the lights are switched on, the 2»: symbol
turns on.
0 - lights are off (in some markets, the daytime
running lights* are switched on when the ignition
is switched on.)
— USA models: the daytime running lights switch
on automatically when the ignition is switched
on and the light switch is set to the O or the
AUTO position (only in daylight). The Daytime
running lights can be switched on and off in
the MMI > page 39 > A.
— Canada models: the daytime running lights
switch on automatically when the ignition is
switched on and the light switch is set to the O,
300 or the AUTO position (only in daylight) > A\.
AUTO* - automatic headlights switch on and off
depending on brightness, for example in twilight,
during rain or in tunnels.
300: - Parking lights
ZO - Low beam headlights
220 - All-weather lights*
QE - Rear fog light(s)*
All-weather lights*
In vehicles with all-weather lights, the front
lights are adjusted automatically so that you are
38
less likely to see glare from your own headlights,
for example when driving on a wet road.
Automatic dynamic headlight range control
system*
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range
control system so that there is less glare for on-
coming traffic if the vehicle load changes. The
headlight range also adjusts automatically when
braking and accelerating.
Light functions
The following light functions may be available
depending on vehicle equipment and only func-
tion when the light switch is in the AUTO posi-
tion.
Static cornering light* (vehicles with LED head-
lights) - the cornering light switches on automat-
ically when the steering wheel is turned at a cer-
tain angle at speeds up to approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) and when the turn signal is activated
at speeds up to approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h). The area to the side of the vehicle is
illuminated better when turning.
Highway light function* (vehicles with LED head-
lights) - this function adapts the lighting for
highway driving based on vehicle speed.
Speed dependent light distribution* (vehicles
with
LED headlights) - the speed dependent light
distribution adapts the light in towns and on
highways or expressways. Intersections can also
be illuminated on vehicles with a navigation sys-
tem*.

ZA\ WARNING
— Automatic headlights* are only intended to
assist the driver. They do not relieve the
driver of responsibility to check the head-
lights and to turn them on manually based
on the current light and visibility conditions.
For example, fog cannot be detected by the
light sensors. So always switch on the low
beams under these weather conditions and
when driving in the dark ZO.
—To reduce glare for traffic behind your vehi-
cle, the rear fog lights* should only be

turned on in accordance with the legal >

Parking aid

Parking aid
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system/parking system
plus
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles behind the vehicle
=> page 81.
The parking system plus assists you while park-
ing by audibly and visually warning you of objects
detected in front of and behind the vehicle
=> page 81.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The
lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver > page 82.

ZA WARNING
— Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or exiting a park-
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
— Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
— Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect-
ed. Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
— The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The park-
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility check their func-
tion.
— Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materials. If they
are, the sensor function could be impaired.
For additional information on cleaning, see
=> page 262.

@) Note
— Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
— objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
— objects above the sensors such as wall ex-
tensions
— objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
— If you continue driving closer to a low ob-
ject, it may disappear from the sensor
range. Note that you will no Longer be
warned about this obstacle.
— Maintain enough distance from the curb to
reduce the risk of damage to the rims.
@) Tips
— The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover-
age area in some situations, such as:
— certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
— external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
—in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex-
haust
— We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be-
come familiar with the system. Practice
parking in good light and weather condi-
tions.
— You can change the volume of the signals.
— What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
— The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.

Parking aid

Rear parking system
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid.
Description
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you.
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick-
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For information on
cleaning, see > page 262.
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:

Side
Center
3 ft (0.90 m)
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Rear

The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals. A con-
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not continue backing up > A\ in Introduction
on page 80, >@ in Introduction on page 80!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap-
ply in the continuous tone range).
Activating
The rear parking assist activates automatically
when the reverse gear is engaged. A brief tone
will sound.
Parking system plus
Applies to: vehicles with parking system plus
Parking system plus provides audio and visual
signals when parking.

BFV-0262

Fig. 83 Principle of operation
Sensors are located in the front and rear bump-
ers. If these detect an obstacle, audible and visu-
al signals warn you.
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick-
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For information on
cleaning, see > page 262.
The display field begins approximately at:




@ 4 ft (1.20 m)
@ 3 ft (0.90 m)
® 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
@ 3 ft (0.90 m)

The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals. A con-
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not continue driving forward or in reverse
= A in Introduction on page 80, >© in Intro-
duction on page 80!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap-
ply in the continuous tone range).
