All-weather lights*
In vehicles with all-weather lights, the front
lights are adjusted automatically so that you are
36
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 >

regulations in the country where you are op-
erating the vehicle.
— If the battery has been discharging for a
while, the parking light may switch off auto-
matically. Always make sure your vehicle is
parked and adequately illuminated accord-
ing to the legal regulations in the country
where you are operating the vehicle. Avoid
using the parking lights for several hours.
— Observe the legal regulations in the country
where you are operating the vehicle when
using the lighting system that is described.

@ Tips
— The light sensor for the automatic head-
lights* is in the rearview mirror mount. Do
not place any stickers in this area on the
windshield.
— Some exterior lighting functions can be ad-
justed > page 37.
— If you turn off the ignition while the exterior
lights are on and open the door, a warning
tone sounds.
— In some markets, the tail lights will switch
on when the daytime running lights switch
on.
—In cool 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.

ble for manually switching the wipers on
based on visibility conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.

traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.

Replacing windshield wiper blades

@) Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
@) Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*

Safety systems monitoring
The Ea indicator light in the instrument cluster
monitors the safety systems such as the airbags
(including the control modules, sensors, and wir-
ing) and the belt tensioners. It turns on when you
switch the ignition on and turns off after several
seconds.
If the Ea indicator light does not turn on when
the ignition is switched on, does not turn off af-
ter several seconds, or turns on or flashes while
driving, there may be a malfunction in one of the
safety systems. Drive to an authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Facility immediately
to have the malfunction corrected.

A WARNING
Have the malfunction in the safety systems in-
spected immediately. Otherwise, there is a
risk that the systems may not activate during
an accident, which increases the risk of seri-
ous or fatal injury.
