Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for
two hours, the 12-volt vehicle battery can be discharged to such an extent that it is no longer
possible to start the engine ⇒ .
In the case of standing times of more than two hours, the vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle
battery and switch off the side lights or parking light so that the engine can still be started.

WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination, as
other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.
Always park the vehicle safely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local regulations.
If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if possible.
The illumination time of the parking light on one side is generally twice as long as for continuous
parking light on both sides of the vehicle.

Headlights
Headlight range control

Fig. 82 In the Infotainment system: slider for headlight range control.
Headlight range control can be used to adjust the light cone of the dipped beam headlights to the
vehicle load level. This gives the driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic
will not be dazzled ⇒ .

Switching over headlights for driving abroad (travel mode)
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. The headlights must therefore be
switched over when you travel to these countries.
With some equipment levels, the headlight alignment can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
In vehicles in which the headlights cannot be switched over in the menu, masking stickers should be
applied to certain parts of the headlight lenses, or the headlights should be adjusted by a qualified
workshop. A qualified workshop can provide you with further information. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Interior lighting
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position , a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting in
the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness level.

When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and switch lighting
(needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the illumination of the
scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
