Lights and Vision


— High beam assistant is only intended to as-
sist the driver. The driver is still responsible
for controlling the headlights and may need
to switch them on and off manually depend-
ing on light and visibility conditions.
— High beams can cause glare for other driv-
ers, which increases the risk of an accident.
For this reason, only use the high beams or
the headlight flasher when they will not cre-

ate glare for other drivers.
@ Tips
Certain settings are automatically stored and
assigned to the active user.
Applies to: vehicles sam laser lighting



RAZ-0948,


Fig. 53 Headlights: label
The laser high beams increase the range of the
headlights.
Technical
changes to the 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.
56
Switching laser lights on and off
The high beam is controlled by the high beam as-
sistant. The laser high beams switch on shortly
after activating the LED high beams if the re-
quirements that follow are met.
Requirement: the AUTO light function must be
set, and the high beam assistant and the laser
lights must be switched on in the MMI
=> page 57.
> To switch on the high beam assistant, tap the
lever
forward @) > page 55, fig. 52. The fa in-
dicator light appears in the instrument cluster
display and the high beams are switched on or
off automatically.

The laser high beams are switched on at speeds
above approximately 44 mph (70 km/h), when
the high beams are activated. The Ed indicator
light turns on if the high beams are switched on.
The +2] indicator light turns on if the laser lights
are switched on.
The laser beam is switched back off when the
speed decreases below approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) or when the high beam assistant
switches the LED headlights off.

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 121.
— All repair procedures on the headlights must
be performed by an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility that will
perform the 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 laser module is not permitted
and could cause permanent injuries to the
eyes.
— Dangerous exposure to laser beams may oc-
cur if the covers are removed or if the head-
lamp module housing is opened.

Media

Media
General information
There may be different media sources and con-
nections available depending on the vehicle
equipment. For example, you can play media files
using a connected USB drive or connect your mo-
bile devices to the Audi music interface and oper-
ate them through the MMI.
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ-
ing the USB storage device connection) was test-
ed with a variety of products and media on the
market. However, there may be cases where indi-
vidual devices or media and audio/video files may
not be recognized, may play only with restric-
tions, or may not play at all.
Restricted functionality: reset the MMI to the
factory default settings if functionality is restrict-
ed. > page 214
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the
audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
Files that are protected by DRM and are identi-
fied with the symbol f@ will not play.
Data security: never store important information
on mobile devices. Audi is not responsible for
damaged or lost files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the audio/video files to load, use a storage
medium that only contains audio/video files, and
create subfolders (for example, for each artist or
album).
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi-
tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the medium, the MMI will revert
to the local Gracenote metadata database or
search online if necessary. See > page 208, On-
line additional data. However, in some cases, the
additional information may not be displayed.
