The high-end headlights, supplied as standard in the OCTAVIA COMBI RS, use LEDs for all of their functions. Compared to standard headlights, they are more powerful and, on top of that, feature a side light and the cutting-edge Matrix function. LED technologies’ many upsides include their longer life and the fact that they are less of a drain on power.

Using a rear-view mirror camera that detects light sources from oncoming vehicles, the Matrix function of the full LED headlights masks out the light distribution around other vehicles or traffic signs in real time with individually switchable LED chips in each headlight. This results in a perfectly illuminated road ahead and greater safety.

The full LED tail lights, part of the standard equipment, incorporate diodes to play every role. Their specialities include a tail light in both parts of the lamp and an eye-catching dynamic rear indicator. In addition, the lights contribute to the Coming/Leaving Home animated function – when the car is locked/unlocked the tail lighting gradually lights up from the outside towards the inside and back towards the outside. This is accompanied by flashing indicators.
