How to Turn on Audi Headlights?
2 Answers
Audi A5's headlight switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Turn the knob to the right. Adjust it to the automatic or headlight position. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Judgment: The most basic method to determine whether the headlights are functioning properly is to check if they are still emitting light. Whether it's the front headlights or rear lights, if they don't light up, it indicates that the bulb has burned out and must be replaced. However, if they are not completely broken but just dimmer, with a reddish and dull glow, you should not take it lightly, as this could be a precursor to a malfunction. Reduced lighting capability is also a major safety hazard for driving. 2. Inspection: If the front headlights are damaged, similar lamps are usually used for replacement. Additionally, check if the headlight lens has any cracks, because although surface cracks may not affect the lighting performance of the headlights, moisture can seep into the lamp along the cracks, significantly impacting the performance and lifespan of the bulb.
I also studied the light controls when I first drove an Audi. There's a long lever with icons on the left side of the driver's seat, and the knob at the top is the key: setting it to 'AUTO' is the most hassle-free option—it automatically turns the headlights on/off based on ambient light, and instantly activates them when entering tunnels, which is particularly smart. If you prefer manual control in the evening, turn the knob right to the parking light symbol for small lights, and further to the headlight symbol for low beams. In foggy conditions, pull the small middle knob to the 'front/rear fog lights' position, but remember that fog lights must be used in conjunction with low beams. To activate high beams, gently push the lever toward the steering wheel for a flash, or push it firmly into place for continuous use—the dashboard will display a blue high beam indicator as a reminder. This knob + lever design is quite logical and allows for easy blind operation once you're familiar with it.
