Lights and vision -> Headlight range control for Your Volkswagen Passat SUV Nineth Generation (2023-2025)

Headlight range control can be used to adjust the light cone of the dipped beam headlights to the vehicle load level. This gives the  
driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic will not be dazzled.  
Depending on equipment, the headlight range can be adjusted manually with the touch slider in the Infotainment system → Fig. 1 1

accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

WARNING  
Failure or malfunction in the headlight range control can cause the headlights to dazzle or distract other road users. This can cause  
accidents and serious or fatal injuries.  
Have the headlight range control checked by a suitably qualified workshop as soon as possible. Volkswagen recommends using an  
authorised Volkswagen repairer.  
If you have to drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, the dipped beam headlights may dazzle  
oncoming traffic. The headlights may therefore have to be switched over when you travel to these countries. Depending on equipment,  
the alignment or functions of the headlights must be adapted in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu under  
Headlights or under Light settings with the travel mode (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
Travel mode may only be used for a short period. Please contact a suitably qualified workshop if permanent conversion is  
required. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.
