Switching over headlights for driving abroad (travel mode)
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the
asymmetric dipped beam headlights may dazzle oncoming traffic. Therefore the headlights need to
be switched over when you travel to these countries.
On vehicles with advanced main-beam control, the alignment of the headlights can be adjusted in
the Infotainment system in the
Vehicle settings
menu

The function of the dynamic cornering light and advanced main-beam control is deactivated once
travel mode is activated. The main beam is then only switched on and off automatically.
Travel mode may only be used for a short period. Please contact a qualified workshop for a
permanent alteration. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
