Select: Function button ICARI > Audi side
assist - lamp .

Rotate the control knob to adjust the dis-
played brightness of the signal light on the
outside mirrors.
The brightness of the signal light for both the
informational and alert stages is automatical-
ly adjusted to ambient light conditions . In ad-
dition, you can adjust the
basic brightness
separately, via the brightness function.
While making the adjustment, the new
brightness setting is displayed briefly . The
brightness displayed is that of the informa-
tional stage signal. The alert stage signal
brightness is linked to the informational stage
signal brightness.
The informational stage signal brightness
should be adjusted so that you notice the sig-
nal illumination when you look in the outside
mirror, but not when you look forward
through the windshield .
In very dark or light surroundings , the auto -
matic brightness setting adjusts signal light
brightness to maximum or minimum intensi-
ty, as needed. In circumstances such as these,
you may not notice any change in the bright-
ness on the outside mirror when adjusting the
basic brightness.
You may not notice t he change until lighting
conditions are normal again .
@ Tips
- Side assist is not active when the basic
brightness is adjusted . The signal light
comes on briefly to help you make the
adjustment .
- Your settings are automatically stored
and assigned to the remote control key
being used .
