How to set the turn signal to flash 5 times on Audi A6L?

Lightly flick the turn signal lever, and the turn signal will flash 3 times by default, which can be changed to 5 flashes. Turn signal: It is the main device indicating the dynamic information of the vehicle, installed at the front and rear of the car body. It is activated when the car turns, providing safety for driving. For driving safety, please use the turn signal as required to allow pedestrians to know the car's movement in advance and make correct judgments. Notes on using turn signals: Turn on the turn signal about 30 meters before preparing to turn to indicate the need to turn, gently push the lever downward or upward with your left hand. When the turn signal is locked in place, a flashing arrow pointing left or right will be displayed on the dashboard, accompanied by a "tick" sound and the flashing of the left or right lights. Remember to turn off the turn signal after turning. Normally, the turn signal will automatically turn off after turning, but if the steering wheel is turned less than 90 degrees, the turn signal will not turn off automatically and needs to be manually switched to the off position. Turn on the right turn signal when leaving the roadside. Before leaving a roadside parking space, always signal your intention to merge into traffic. After getting into the car, turn on the turn signal in the direction you are about to drive. Turn on the turn signal before changing lanes.
I usually drive an Audi A6L and find the turn signal set to flash 5 times with a light tap particularly practical. After getting in the car, open the central MMI screen, navigate to the external lighting menu under vehicle settings, and adjust the number of turn signal flashes with a light tap—just select 5 and you're done. The advantage of this setting is that it provides sufficient warning for other drivers during temporary lane changes without being overly frequent or annoying, making it especially suitable for urban traffic jams. I also recommend regularly checking if the bulbs are functioning properly. If the flashing is unstable, there might be minor issues with the wiring or switch, and timely maintenance can prevent sudden failures. Additionally, the A6L's lighting system is quite intelligent; similar settings like headlight height or delayed shut-off can also be adjusted here, making driving smoother and safer.
