The headlight beam is asymmetrical. 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 opposite side of
the road from your own country, this will cause
glare for oncoming drivers. 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 passing through.

-
tion, please see your authorized Audi dealer or
authorized
repair
facility.
When travel mode is activated, a display
in
the
driver
information
system indicates
this
each time you switch
the
ignition on.
