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
Headlights
halogen headlights using free-form technology with
clear glass cover, electric headlight range control,
daytime running lights and parking light function;
front fog lights integrated in the front apron panel; on
A6 allroad quattro front fog lights with chrome ring
LED headlights
featuring LED dipped beam, high beam, daytime
running lights, indicators, static turning light, all-
weather light and motorway light function in 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 110km/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)
(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.
Headlight cleaning system
uses water and high pressure, for excellent
illumination, less scatter and good visibility
Rear lights
Brake and tail lights with reversing lights and rear fog
lights in halogen technology, rear number plate lights
in LED technology
LED rear lights
brake lights, tail lights and indicators in LED technology;
faster activation means earlier recognition by the driver
behind; reversing lights in white, 2 rear fog lights; third
high-mounted brake light in the rear window (part of
xenon plus and LED headlights)
LED rear number plate light
maintenance-free, energy-saving
Adaptive brake light
Brake light flashes during emergency braking to warn
following traffic; hazard warning lights are activated
automatically when the vehicle comes to a stop, hazard
warning system activated according to the braking force
Light/rain sensor
automatically switches the dipped beam or windscreen
wipers on/off depending on the light and rain
conditions; includes delayed deactivation/automatic
activation of the rear lights/number plate lights when
parking/opening the vehicle
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 corner or bend by pivoting the xenon
headlights; operational between speeds of
approximately 10km/h and 110km/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 system 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 depending on
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)
