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 ⇒ .

With some equipment levels, the headlight range can be adjusted with the slider in the Infotainment
system ⇒ Fig. 82 .
Manual headlight range control
Press the button or function button.
Touch the Vehicle and function buttons to open the Vehicle settings menu.
Touch the Lights function button to open the Light settings menu.
Touch the Headlight range control⇒ Fig. 82  ① function button.
Move the slider to the required position (typical vehicle load level).

All seats occupied and luggage compartment empty.
All seats occupied and luggage compartment fully loaded. Towing a trailer
with a low drawbar load ⇒ Trailer towing .
Only the driver seat is occupied and the luggage compartment is fully
loaded. Towing a trailer with maximum drawbar load ⇒ Trailer towing .
Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range cannot be adjusted manually if the vehicle has dynamic headlight range control.
The headlight range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the headlights
are switched on ⇒ .

WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle can cause the headlights to dazzle and distract other road users. This
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The light cone should always be adjusted to the load level of the vehicle to ensure that other road
users are not dazzled.

WARNING
Failure or a malfunction of the dynamic headlight range control can cause the headlights to dazzle or
distract other road users. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The headlight range control should be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.

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.
Interior and reading lights
Press the appropriate button or move the switch to the appropriate position:
Switch off the interior light.Switch on the interior lights.The interior lights are switched on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, a door is opened or the vehicle key is removed from the
ignition.Switch the reading light on or off.
Stowage compartment and luggage compartment lights
A light will be switched on and off when the stowage compartment on the front passenger side or
the boot lid is opened or closed.
Background lighting

Depending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in various areas of
the vehicle interior.
The front footwell may also be illuminated.
The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle
settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the vehicle key is
removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation .
Visibility
Wipers
Operating the wiper lever

Before setting off and before switching on the ignition, always check the following to avoid damage
to the windscreen, the wiper blades and the wiper motor:
The wiper lever is located in the basic position.
Snow and ice have been removed from the wiper blades and door windows.
Wiper blades that have become frozen onto the glass have been carefully loosened. Volkswagen
recommends using a de-icer spray for this.

NOTICE
Do not switch on the wipers when the window is dry. Using the wipers when the window is dry can
damage the glass.

When switched on, the wipers will temporarily be switched to the next setting down when the
vehicle is stationary.

When parking the vehicle in cold weather, it may be helpful to leave the front windscreen wipers in
the service position to make it easier to loosen the wiper blades ⇒ Wiper blades .

reverse gear is engaged. Automatic switch-on when reverse gear is selected can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls

Heated washer jets
The heating defrosts frozen washer jets. The heating output is automatically regulated depending on
the ambient temperature when the ignition is switched on. Only the jets are heated, not the hoses
that the washer fluid flows through.
Rain/light sensor

Fig. 85 On the right of the steering column: wiper lever.

When the rain/light sensor is activated, it automatically controls the frequency of the wiper intervals
depending on the intensity of the rain.
Activating and deactivating the rain/light sensor
Position Ⓐ - the rain/light sensor is deactivated.
Position Ⓑ - the rain/light sensor is activated, automatic wipe when necessary.
The automatic wipe function can be activated and deactivated in the Infotainment system in
the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .

fixed levels.
Adjusting the sensitivity of the rain/light sensor
The sensitivity of the rain/light sensor can be adjusted manually using the switch in the wiper lever
⇒ Fig. 85  ① ⇒ .
Switch to the right – high sensitivity.
Switch to the left – low sensitivity.

WARNING
The rain/light sensor cannot always adequately detect all precipitation and activate the wipers
correspondingly.
If necessary, switch on the wipers manually in good time if the water on the windscreen restricts the
field of vision.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes ⇒ Personalisation .
