Fig. 36 Instrument panel: light button module
@ Light switch &
Press and hold @ until the desired light function
is selected. The selected function is displayed
briefly in the instrument cluster. When switching
on the ignition, the AUTO light function is auto-
matically selected.
— AUTO - The automatic headlights adapt to the
surrounding brightness automatically. The day-
time running lights* will automatically turn on.
In vehicles for certain markets, you can switch
the automatic daytime running lights* on and
off in the MMI.
— 20 - Low beam headlights. As soon as the igni-
tion is switched on, you can switch on the low
beam headlights manually.
— 30a - Parking lights. You can switch on the park-
ing lights at speeds under 20 mph (32 km/h).
— USA models: OFF - You can switch off all light
functions at speeds under 6 mph (10 km/h).
— Canada models: OFF - You can only switch off
all light functions when the vehicle is parked
and the ignition is switched off.
When the low beam headlights or parking lights
are switched on, the respective Ba or Ea indica-
tor light appears in the instrument cluster.
@ All weather light 2
The headlights automatically adjust so that there
will be less glare, for example when the road sur-
face is wet.
44
Automatic headlight range control
Your vehicle is equipped with automatic head-
light range control. It reduces glare for oncoming
traffic if the vehicle load changes. The headlight
range adjusts automatically.
Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
Audi adaptive light provides better visibility when
driving in the dark. The lights are adapted to the
road conditions based on speed, such as when
driving on expressways, rural roads, at intersec-
tions, and around curves. The adaptive light only
functions when the automatic headlights are ac-
tivated.

A WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
— 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
on.
— Only the front headlights turn on when the
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.
— When the parking lights are switched on
and the ignition is switched off, the 200: sym-
bol appears in the light switch module.

Fig. 37 Lever: switching on the turn signal and high beams
The lever operates the turn signals, the high
beams and the headlight flasher.
Turn signals @ >

er into a turn signal position when the ignition is
switched on. The respective a or B indicator
light flashes.
@ - Right turn signal
@ - Left turn signal
The turn signal blinks three times if you tap the
lever (convenience turn signal).
If an indicator light blinks twice as fast as usual,
a turn signal bulb has failed. Carefully drive to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility immediately to have the malfunction cor-
rected.

> Move the lever to the corresponding position:
@® - High beams on (vehicles with high beam as-
sistant*) > page 45

High beams can cause glare for other drivers,
which increases the risk of an accident. For
this reason, only use the high beams or the
headlight flasher when they will not create
glare for other drivers.
thm Teel
Applies to: vehicles with high beam assistant

The high beam assistant automatically turns the
high beams on or off depending on the surround-
ing conditions.
A camera on the rearview mirror mount can de-
tect light sources from other road users. The high
beams switch on or off automatically depending
on the position of vehicles driving ahead and on-
coming vehicles, the vehicle speed as well as oth
er environmental factors and traffic conditions.
Switching on the high beam assistant

set and the high beam assistant must be switch-
ed on > page 46.

dicator light appears in the instrument cluster
display and the high beams are switched on or
off automatically. If the high beams were com-
pletely or partially switched on, the Ea indica-
tor light will turn on.

matically as expected, you may switch them on or
off manually instead:
