Previous Macan (Xenons) had adjustments via the PCM. Do they automatically adjust or are stick on reflectors needed? Quote Reply #1 List Solutions Only 6 Replies

They adjust automatically when the car registers its abroad. Thats what the salesman told me when I left the showroom ! Quote Reply #2

Here is the relevant section in the driver's manual:- Activating overseas mode When you cross the border into a country where traffic drives on the other side of the road, the light distribution of the headlights must be adapted. The dipped beam then lights symmetrically and drivers of oncoming vehicles are not dazzled. Adaptation of the light distribution normally occurs automatically based on the navigation data. After conversion, a message appears in the instrument cluster every time the ignition is switched on. If conversion does not take place automatically: CAR >CONTROL >Vehicle settings > Light and visibility > Exterior light > Inverted Readjust headlights on the return journey Regards, Clive post edited by Lancerlot - 2023/05/23 10:16:30 *The older I get - the faster I was!* Past - 924T, '911 SC, 911 C, 911 C2, 964, 996, 996TT, 997TT, 997GT2, 430 Scuderia, 997.2TT, 997.2TTS, 991.2TTS.
