Adjusting brightness of warning lamp on
exterior mirror
You can adjust the brightness of the warning lamp on the
sound system or MMI*.
– Select: Function selector button > Audi side assist
> Warning lamp: brightness.
The brightness of the warning lamp in both the information and
warning modes is regulated automatically according to the ambient
light level. You can also adjust the basic brightness level of the
warning lamp yourself via the function Warning lamp: brightness.
The new brightness level will be displayed briefly while you are
making the adjustment. The brightness level that is shown at this
point is the intensity of the lamp when it comes on in the informa-
tion mode. The intensity of the lamp in the warning mode is linked
to the intensity in the information mode.
The brightness of the lamp in the information mode should be set
so that you can see the lamp when you glance at the exterior mirror,
but are not aware of it when looking forwards through the wind-
screen.
If you are in very dark or very light surroundings when you adjust the
brightness of the warning lamp, the automatic brightness control
may already have reached the lowest or the brightest setting. Under
these circumstances the brightness of the warning lamp on the
exterior mirror may not change visibly when you alter the basic
brightness level.
If you adjust the basic brightness level while the vehicle is in in very
dark or very light surroundings, the change in the setting may only
become visible in surroundings of more moderate brightness.
Note
• The side assist is not active while you are changing the bright-
ness setting; the brief flash of the warning lamp is only intended to
help you make the desired setting.
• Your personal settings are stored automatically and assigned to
the remote control key which is being used.
Applies to vehicles: with side assist
