Main-beam control

WARNING
Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious injuries as the main
beam headlights could distract and dazzle other road users.
Main-beam control
The main-beam control automatically dips the headlights when oncoming vehicles and/or vehicles
driving in front are detected. Main-beam control also recognises illuminated areas such as towns
and deactivates the main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches main beam on at speeds
of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), depending on ambient and traffic conditions, and switches
it off again at speeds under approximately 30 km/h (18 mph)
With some equipment levels, the main-beam control can be activated and deactivated in the
Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.

NOTICE
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the system:
Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
Do not cover the camera's field of view.
Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for damage.

Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, can impair
the functions of the main-beam control system.

parking light on both sides of the vehicle is switched on:
With the ignition on, turn the light switch to position .

Lock the vehicle from the outside.
Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for
two hours, the 12-volt vehicle battery can be discharged to such an extent that it is no longer
possible to start the engine
In the case of standing times of more than two hours, the vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle
battery and switch off the side lights or parking light so that the engine can still be started.

WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination, as
other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.
Always park the vehicle safely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local regulations.
If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if possible.
The illumination time of the parking light on one side is generally twice as long as for continuous
parking light on both sides of the vehicle.
Coming Home and Leaving Home function (orientation lighting)
The Coming Home and Leaving Home function lights up the area immediately surrounding the
vehicle when you get in or out of the vehicle in darkness.

Headlights
Headlight range control

Fig. 82 In the Infotainment system: slider for headlight range control.
Headlight range control can be used to adjust the light cone of the dipped beam headlights to the
vehicle load level. This gives the driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic
will not be dazzled

Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range cannot be adjusted manually if the vehicle has dynamic headlight range control.
The headlight range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the headlights
are switched on

WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle can cause the headlights to dazzle and distract other road users. This
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The light cone should always be adjusted to the load level of the vehicle to ensure that other road
users are not dazzled.

WARNING
Failure or a malfunction of the dynamic headlight range control can cause the headlights to dazzle or
distract other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The headlight range control should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. The headlights must therefore be
switched over when you travel to these countries.
With some equipment levels, the headlight alignment can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
In vehicles in which the headlights cannot be switched over in the menu, masking stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses, or the headlights should be adjusted by a qualified
workshop. A qualified workshop can provide you with further information. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in
the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.

When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting
(needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the illumination of the
scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
Interior and reading lights
Press the appropriate button or move the switch to the appropriate position:
Switch off the interior light.Switch on the interior lights.The interior lights are switched on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, a door is opened or the vehicle key is removed from the
ignition.Switch the reading light on or off.
Stowage compartment and luggage compartment lights
A light will be switched on and off when the stowage compartment on the front passenger side or
the boot lid is opened or closed.
Background lighting

pending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu Infotainment system controls and displays

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation
