Lights and Vision


— High beam assistant is only intended to as-
sist the driver. The driver is responsible for
controlling the high beam headlights and
adjusting them to match the lighting 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
Adhere to any local applicable regulations
when using the lighting equipment, for exam-
ple in regard to reducing glare for other driv-
ers. The driver is always responsible for adher-
ing to the regulations applicable in the coun-
try where the vehicle is being operated.
Laser lighting
Applies to: vehicles with 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
60
light into a white light using a luminescent mate-
rial.
Activating or deactivating laser lights
Requirement: the light switch must be in the AU-
TO position and the high beam assistant and the
laser lights must be switched on in the MMI
=> page 61.
The high beam is controlled by the high beam as-
sistant. The laser high beams switch on shortly
after the LED high beams are switched on.
> To activate the high beam assistant, tap the
lever forward @) > page 59, fig. 52. The Fa
dicator light will appear in the instrument clus-
ter display and the high beams will be switched
on or off automatically.

in-
The laser high beams are switched on at speeds
above approximately 44 mph (70 km/h) when
the high beams are switched on. The Ed indicator
light will turn on if the high beams are switched
on. The B indicator light turns on if the laser
lights are switched on.
The laser beam is switched off when the speed
decreases below approximately 30 mph (50
km/h) or when the high beam assistant switches
the LED headlights off.

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126.
— 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.

The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
Align the outer air vents with the side windows.
The maximum amount of air flows mainly from
the vents below the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature should be
set at 72 °F (+22 °C) or higher. The temperature
is controlled automatically.
You can switch the defroster on or off using the
® button. You can switch the function off by
pressing a knob ().
@ Rear window defogger
The rear window defogger only operates when
the engine is running. It switches off automati-
cally after 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the
outside temperature.
To prevent the rear window defogger from
switching off automatically, press and hold the
& button for more than three seconds. This is
stored until the ignition is switched off.
Vents
You can open or close the center and rear vents in
the cockpit and the vents in the rear center con-
sole using the ridged thumbwheels. The levers
adjust the direction of the airflow from the vents.
Residual heat
You can activate the residual heat function when
the ignition is switched off by pressing the knob
@ (left side). The residual heat from the coolant
is used to heat the vehicle interior. The residual
heat function switches off automatically after
about 15 minutes.

Z\ WARNING
— Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the neck heating”. To reduce the risk
of injury, these individuals should not use
neck heating*.
— If the air vents in the seats are covered by
clothing or similar objects when the neck
heating* is switched on, the output from the
neck heating may become very hot tempora-
rily. This can cause burns on unprotected
skin exposed directly to the vents.

G) Tips
— When the power top* is closed, the neck
heating* will switch automatically from set-
ting 3 to setting 2 after approximately six
minutes.
— The heat output from the neck heating* is
lower when the power top” is closed than
when it is open.

ly through the MMI in your vehicle.
Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following options may be available:
— Connecting a cell phone with Bluetooth
— Using two telephones
— Using the Audi phone box

ZA WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
= page 27 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter > page 20,
Traffic safety information.
