Hello all,

We’re away in France for 3 months and from reading elsewhere on the internet I was lead to believe that due to the sat nav gps locating you, that the lights would auto adjust their kick on on the left.

 

This isn’t the case, and whilst it’s fine most of the time the wagon drivers really don’t like it 😆

 

Does anybody know how they adjust? There isn’t an option on settings like there seemed to be on the first Karoq.

 

Like i said it’s a 22 plate with matrix lights.

 

Thanks

On my 21 car, the adjustment isn't in settings. It is in Vehicle, then settings, then lights. If you do find it there and change the setting, don't just select and then go back to menu as the setting will not change. You must go back until you are on the menu screen. 

Thank you, is the option you talk about ‘travel mode’?

An update, there is no such settings on the newer standard LED Karoqs. But they don’t have the kick up to the left in the same way halogen lamps did. I’ve had thhis confirmed by both Skoda and a good local independent. This matters to us as we’ll be moving to France soon and would like to keep our car.

My 2022 (23my) SEL has LED headlights but if I shine them on a garage door I can see s definite kick up to the left on the beam pattern. However I haven't had any vehicles flash me when abroad.

Skoda say the headlamps meet EU legislation regarding kickups etc and therefore don't need any adjustment abroad; if that's the case why do they offer adjustment on the matrix lights?

Anybody else with non-matrix (LED) lights confused on this?
