Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive ight
Audi adaptive light provides better visibility when
driving in the dark. The lights are adapted to the
road conditions based on speed, such as when
driving on expressways, rural roads, at intersec-
tions, and around curves. The adaptive light only
functions when the automatic headlights are ac-
tivated.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 119.
— Automatic headlights are only intended to
assist the driver. The driver is still responsi-
ble for controlling the headlights and may
need to switch them on and off manually
depending on light and visibility conditions.
For example, fog cannot be detected by the
light sensors. So always switch on the low
beams 2D under these weather conditions
and when driving in the dark.
— If the vehicle battery has been discharging
for awhile, the parking light may switch off
automatically. Avoid using the parking
lights for several hours.
—When using lighting equipment, the driver
is responsible for adhering to any local ap-
plicable regulations while driving and when
parking the vehicle.
— Only the front headlights turn on when the
daytime running lights are switched on. In
