Settings for driving on the continent

Featured Replies

I’m off to France with my Kodiaq later this month. Does anyone know if I can set it up to recognise it’s driving on the right hand side of the road? I’m wondering whether the headlights can be adjusted so the dipped beam doesn’t dazzle oncoming traffic (or if I need to buy those stickers instead). 
 

I’m also wondering if I can change the Auto Cruise Control so it knows to avoid undertaking cars on my left. 

I think you can switch to LH to RH in set up screen.

 

It’s a few years since I took my car abroad.

I'm not sure it is applicable to all variants, but you can do it through the settings menu on my Edition. You can also change the speedo to kph, whilst maintaing other metrics like fuel consumption in mpg.

Definitely possible on the sportline that has led headlights to adjust them for driving on the other side, not sure about the adaptive / auto cruise

As others have said - in Vehicle > Settings > Lights you can change from LH to RH traffic (possibly only with LED lights, but the setting has been there on both my Kodiaqs). You will then get a warning every time you start the engine to remind you.

 

Settings > Units allows you to change to km and kph - essential if you have virtual cockpit because it doesn’t display both mph and kph like the traditional dials.

 

As for the cruise control, I had real issues with it thinking I was undertaking when in France on my 18-plate Edition, but not once did the new vRS moan the other week when in France.

Thanks all, mines a sportline with LED headlights so I’m hopeful.

Found it. When it refers to traffic, I presume it means my own vehicle (as opposed to the oncoming traffic). As in, if I’m driving on the left (as we do in the UK) I select Left-hand traffic.

yes settings for lights and speed can be changed within the menu.  Maybe only for LED lights though, not sure.

 

 

i'm not aware of any setting changes for cruise control
