Volkswagen Passat IQ. Light

The new IQ.Light - LED matrix headlights also enhance safety and comfort. The interactive lighting system was introduced in 2018 for the first time for the flagship of the brand – the Touareg. The new Passat is now the second Volkswagen which is offered with IQ.LIGHT. The most important new systems in IQ.DRIVE and the lighting system in the Passat in detail: LED matrix headlights. The Passat will be the second model after the current Touareg to be equipped with the new IQ.LIGHT - LED matrix headlights as optional equipment. Amongst other things, they impress with interactive light control that makes night driving more comfortable and safer. The LED headlights use a matrix made of light dots – individual LEDs that can be activated. Dipped beam and main beam are generated via two LED projection systems. The inner module has seven LEDs for basic illumination; an additional main beam is also realised via five additional LEDs. The outer module is the interactive LED matrix headlight – known as a pixel module. Its light is generated via a total of 32 individually controllable LEDs on a printed circuit. They form the LED matrix. The turn signal, daytime running light, and side light are also realised with LEDs. The LEDs on the turn signal with their “wiping” effect are arranged as a narrow horizontal stripe at the top within the headlight. If the turn signal is inactive then they form the daytime running light, supplemented by four additional LED elements that can be found in the LED projection systems. The LEDs in the daytime running light also form the side light when dimmed. The LED matrix system can be recognised by the IQ.LIGHT logo on the outside of the headlight housing.
