Light functions
The following light functions depend on which
equipment is fitted in your vehicle and work only
when the light switch is set to AUTO. You can de­
activate them in the Audi adaptive light menu in
the infotainment system
Static cornering light (turning light)* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) - the turning light
is automatically activated when the steering
wheel angle exceeds a specified value (up to
about 70 km/h) or when the turn signals are
switched on (up to about 40 km/h). This feature
provides better illumination at the side of the ve­
hicle when you turn off at a junction.
Motorway light* (on vehicles with LED head­
lights) - this function adjusts the vehicle lighting
on motorways, according to your speed.
Speed-dependent light distribution* (on
vehicles with LED headlights) - this function ad­
justs the light distribution as required in towns,
on motorways and on other main roads. Intersec­
tions can also be illuminated if your vehicle is
equipped with a navigation system*.
A
WARNING
- The automatic headlights* are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or visi­
bility are poor. For example, the light sen­
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights io in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord­
ance with statutory regulations.
- If the battery level is very low, the side
lights or parking lights are switched off au­
tomatically to save energy for the next time
the engine is switched on. Always park your
car in a safe and suitably lit place according
to the applicable regulations. Avoid using
the side lights for long periods (several
