Lights and Vision

> To switch the high beams on manually, tap the
lever forward @) > page 46, fig. 35. The =| in-
dicator light turns on.
> To switch the high beams off manually, pull the
lever back @) > page 46, fig. 35. The high beam
assistant is deactivated.
Operating the headlight flasher
> To operate the headlight flashers, pull the lever
back @) © page 46, fig. 35. If the high beam as-
sistant is activated, but the high beams were
not turned off, the high beam assistant remains
activated.

ZA WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 118.
— High beam assistant is only intended to as-
sist the driver. The driver is still responsible
for controlling the headlights and switching
them manually depending on light and visi-
bility 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 stored automatically in
the active personal profile.
Laser li ng
Applies to: vehicles with laser lighting

[RAZ-0102


Fig. 36 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.
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 48.
> To switch on the high beam assistant, tap the
lever forward @) > page 46, fig. 35. The a4 in-
dicator light appears in the instrument cluster

slightly when reverse gear is selected.
You can adjust the mirror surface by turning the
knob in the desired direction.
The mirror moves from the reversing position
back to the original position:
— When you switch the ignition off
— Once you drive forward at speeds faster than 9
mph (15 km/h)
— When the knob is no longer in the position for
the front passenger exterior mirror

Z\ WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (for example convex)
enlarge the field of vision. However, they
make objects in the mirror appear smaller and
farther away. When using these mirrors to es-
timate your distance to vehicles behind you
when changing lanes, you could estimate in-
correctly, which increases the risk of an acci-
dent.

@) Note
— Applies to: vehicles with power folding exte-
rior mirrors: If the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must use the pow-
er folding function to fold the mirror all the

mate the distance to the trailer hitch. Each mark-
ing represents approximately 1 foot (0.30 me-
ters). The width of the blue surface represents
the maximum steering wheel angle.
Symbols
If $2/€9/< is displayed and the display area
represented by that symbol is not available, then
the camera on the that side is not available. The

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 118.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

@) Note
— The orange orientation lines @) show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
@ Tips
— Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces on the camera display decreases
when the vehicle is raised or lowered with
the air suspension.
— There is no rear distance warning when trail-
er mode is detected. The front sensors re-
main activated. The visual display switches
to trailer mode. The rearview camera image
will not show the orientation lines and the
blue surfaces. There is no guarantee the
functions will be deactivated when using a
retrofitted trailer hitch.
