Adjusting headlights (travel mode)

When driving in countries that drive on the opposite side of the road to the country in which you live, if your Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle has advanced high beam control (Dynamic Light Assist) or the dynamic cornering light function, the low beam headlights may blind oncoming traffic. Therefore, the headlight alignment on vehicles equipped with these functions can be adjusted in the Infotainment system via the Vehicle settings menu (travel mode) (→ Vehicle settings menu) .

On vehicles without Dynamic Light Assist and dynamic cornering light, it is not necessary to adjust the headlights.

Travel mode may be used only for a short period of time. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for permanent conversion. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
