The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 114 onwards.
Light
Xenon plus including headlight cleaning system
Headlights utilising durable gas discharge technology
for dipped and high beam ensure intensive illumination
of the road and provide good uniformity and range
both close up and in the distance. The automatic
dynamic headlight range control prevents oncoming
traffic from being dazzled; including all-weather light;
low-energy LED daytime running lights
adaptive light including variable headlight range
control
consisting of dynamic cornering light, static turning
light and variable headlight range control; the dynamic
cornering light infers the course of the road from the
movement of the steering wheel and variably
illuminates the bend by pivoting the xenon headlights;
operational between speeds of approximately 10km/h
and 110km/h. The static turning light automatically
switches on if the indicators have been engaged for a
while at a low vehicle speed and illuminates the new
direction in which the vehicle is travelling. The variable
headlight range control features a camera on the
interior mirror which registers sources of light from
other road users. The range and width of the headlight
beam are continuously varied between dipped and high
beam to suit ambient conditions, ensuring that the
headlights provide good visibility without dazzling other
road users. The headlights also have 3 different light
distribution modes which are activated according to the
vehicle speed: town light, motorway light and country
light. In addition, Audi connect enables controlling of
these 3 light distribution modes by the vehicle support
system based on navigation data, and with the aid of
stored route data from the optional MMI navigation plus
with MMI touch. The convenient functions of the
lighting assistant are supplemented by the intersection
light, which provides a broad spread of light from the
front lighting system, and by the travel mode, with GPS-
assisted switching between right- and left-hand drive
modes. (Including headlight cleaning system)
LED headlights
featuring LED dipped beam, high beam, daytime running lights, indicators, static turning light, all-weather light
and motorway light function with LED technology; includes high-beam assist for automatic switching between
high and dipped beams, an all-weather light function to reduce the risk of the driver being dazzled when visibility
is poor (in fog, rain or snow) and an additional motorway light which automatically increases headlight range from
a speed of approximately 110km/h; LED technology allows near daylight illumination of the road for increased
safety and comfort; minimal energy requirements, long service life, and excellent recognition by other road users.
(Including headlight cleaning system)
High-beam assist
Part of LED headlights; working within system limits, automatically detects the headlights of oncoming traffic, the
rear lights of other road users and built-up areas. Depending on the traffic situation, the high beam is
automatically switched on or off.
