- If you turn off the ignition while the exterior
lights are on and open the door, you will
hear a warning tone.
- 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 .
Laser light ing
App lies to: vehicles with laser lighting
The laser high beams increase the range of the
headlights .
Fig. 34 Laser high beams
Technical changes to LED 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.
The headlight contains a class 4 laser. A convert-
er transforms the laser beam so that there is no
danger when it is used for its intended purpose.

WARNING
Every repair procedure on the headlights
must be performed by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility that
will perform work according to Audi factory
specifications. Incorrect repairs could result
in eye injury, impair the function and may void
the vehicle's operating license. Opening the
Lights and Vision
laser module is not permitted and could
cause permanent damage to the eyes.

Tips
The LED high beam is controlled by the head-
light assistant. The laser high beams switch
on approximately one second after activating
the LED high beams if the following require-
ments are met.
- The low beam headlight must be switched
to the AUTO light switch position.
- The laser high beam is switched on starting
at speeds of approximately 44 mph (70 km/
h).
- The laser beam is switched back off when
the speed decreases below approximately
30 mph (SO km/h) or when the headlight
assistant switches the LED headlights off.
