Where is the headlight cleaning switch for the Q5L?
2 Answers
Audi Q5L headlight cleaning switch is located on the panel below the headlight switch on the left side of the steering wheel. The following is an introduction to the Q5L headlight cleaning: 1. The headlight cleaning function needs to be adjusted in combination with the control of the lights and wipers. Set the headlight gear to AUTO to trigger the automatic headlight cleaning function. Users can switch the gear to OFF or manual mode to turn off the headlight cleaning. 2. On the wiper control lever, adjusting the wiper lever to the "OFF" position can also turn off the headlight cleaning, and you can press the "RESET" button to reset the settings. To use the headlight cleaning, make sure there is enough washer fluid to avoid damage to the nozzles.
I've driven the Q5L before, and the headlight washer function doesn't actually require a separate switch—it's linked with the windshield wipers. Just turn on the headlights, like rotating to Auto or the low beam position, then press the windshield washer lever for a few extra seconds (about two seconds) while spraying washer fluid. You'll hear a click from the front of the car, and the washer nozzles under the headlights will extend and spray the fluid. This design is quite user-friendly, as it cleans the headlights while you wash the windshield, and it keeps the dashboard cleaner with one less button. However, if the washer fluid tank freezes or the nozzles get clogged, you'll need to visit a repair shop.
