Lights - You’d need the Matrix option lights for the ‘auto dipping’ function.

Wipers - I believe every Enyaq comes as standard with rain sensitive wipers (which can also be turned on manually or completely off manually, if you prefer)

If your lights look exactly like this at the front, you don’t have Matrix Lights - so you will have to activate and deactivate FULL beam yourself. For clarity however, the ‘normal’ lights (main beam) will turn on and off automatically, according to how dark it is.

I don’t have the matrix lights and don’t have auto dipping headlights.

The wipers are rain sending as standard - you need to have wiper switch in the INT position (one up).

Matrix headlights don’t actually ‘dip’ as such - they form an unlit patch wherever it detects a car. So you’re effectively driving with a clever full beam all the time, as long as you’re doing more than a certain speed and it’s dark enough (ie away from streetlights). It’s quite spooky when you first see it.

You do have to enable it every time though, by pushing the stalk to turn on auto mode, but after that it’s fully automatic. If you push it again you get standard high beam that you can then switch to dipped in the same way as standard headlights.

There are occasions when you don’t want it doing it, such as on dual carriageways where a truck’s headlights are hidden by the crash barrier and you’d be dazzling the driver who is higher up. Hence you can easily switch back to dipped beam if you need to.

Standard on Sportline 🙂
