Light s and Vision
Trave l mode (Canada models ) *
The headlight beam is asymme t rical. This pro-
vides stronger illumination on the side of the
road on which you are driving. If you are driving
in a country that drives on the opposit e sid e of
the road from your own country , this will cause
g lare for oncoming dr ivers . To prevent glare:
- Travel mode must be selected in vehicles with
Xenon headlights *.
- In vehicles with halogen headlights, certain
areas of the headlight lenses must be covered
with waterproof adhesive covers that prevent
light from pa ssing through. For more informa-
tion, please see your authori zed Audi dea ler or
autho rized repair facility .

the driver information system ind icates this

adapts to driving on curves. This is dependent
upon the vehicle speed and steering ang le . This
provides better lighting through the curve. The

of up t o approxima t ely 25 mph (40 km/h) whe n a
