factors and that it does not interfere with
other drivers.
— Visibility to the rear is limited when operat-
ing the power top. Avoid operating the top
while driving in reverse.
— Never drive with the power top unlocked.
The wind from driving could cause the pow-
er top to open. This can result in injuries and
damage to the vehicle.
— Make sure no one will be injured by the pow-
er top supports or other moving compo-
nents when opening and closing the top.
— The headroom in the rear is reduced when
opening and closing the power top. Make
sure the rear passengers keep enough dis-
tance from the power top to reduce the risk
of injury.

ly temporarily if there is a malfunction
=> page 51, Power top emergency opera-
tion. An authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility should diagnose

Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
Audi adaptive light provides better visibility when
driving in the dark. The lights are adapted to the
54

road conditions based on speed, such as when
driving on expressways, rural roads, at intersec-
tions, and around curves. The adaptive lights only
function when the light switch is in the AUTO po-
sition and the all-weather lights are switched off.

ZX WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 121.
— 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 ZO under these weather conditions

and when driving in the dark.

@) Tips
— If the vehicle battery has been discharging
for a while, the parking light may switch off
automatically. Avoid using the parking
lights for several hours.
— Follow the regulations applicable to the
country where you are operating the vehicle
when stopping the vehicle and when using
the lighting systems.
—Awarning tone will sound if you open the
door when the exterior lights are switched

daytime running lights are switched on*. In
vehicles in certain markets, the tail lights
will also turn on.
—Incool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals, and tail lights can
fog
over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light-
ing.

Technical
changes to the headlights have signifi-
cantly increased the range. An additional module
integrated in the headlight converts a blue laser
light into a white light using a luminescent mate-
rial.

Switching laser lights on and off
The high beam is controlled by the high beam as-
sistant. The laser high beams switch on shortly
after activating the LED high beams if the re-
quirements that follow are met.
Requirement: the AUTO light function must be
set, and the high beam assistant and the laser
lights must be switched on in the MMI
=> page 57.
> To switch on the high beam assistant, tap the
lever

above approximately 44 mph (70 km/h), when
the high beams are activated. The Ed indicator
light turns on if the high beams are switched on.
The +2] indicator light turns on if the laser lights
are switched on.
The laser beam is switched back off when the
speed decreases below approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) or when the high beam assistant
switches the LED headlights off.

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 121.
— All repair procedures on the headlights must
be performed by an authorized Audi dealer
