Skip the camera disclaimer
The camera image appears immediately, without a warning text first.
Keep looking around yourself; the camera is an aid.
Condition: Rear-view camera or night vision fitted
Instrument lighting always on
The gauge lighting also stays on in daylight, so the dials are always easy to read in a dark car park or tunnel.
Digital speed on the radio display
Your speed is shown digitally on the radio or MMI screen, alongside the analogue speedometer.
Frost warning chime – adjust
The message and chime when the outside temperature nears freezing can be tuned. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.

The legal notice at screen start-up disappears or is shortened, so the menu is available right away.
You remain responsible for using the screen safely.
Condition: CCC or CIC with start-up notice (mainly US-coded cars)
Instant consumption in the on-board computer
Current fuel consumption is shown in the on-board computer, so you see immediately how economically you drive.

Lighting 12
Brighter headlight light rings
The light rings in the headlights shine brighter with low beam or sidelights.

Coming home follow-me-home time
After you get out, the lights stay on longer or switch on automatically so you can reach the front door safely. A wider time range becomes available in the menu.
Cornering lights via the fog lamps
When turning or steering at low speed, the fog light on that side switches on, so you see where you are going in the dark.
Only with front fog lamps.
Condition: FRM; fog lamps fitted
Daytime running lights – adjust in menu
The daytime running lights appear as a setting in the vehicle menu, so their behaviour can be chosen deliberately. The final setting is agreed in the workshop.
We agree the exact setting with you in the workshop; you sign for it at intake.
Condition: FRM2/FRM3 (approx. 2006/2007+)
Tail lights with DRL – adjust

When a door opens all reading lights come on instead of one, and the interior lighting scenario can be set.
Bulb check adjusted for LED bulbs
After fitting LED bulbs, the bulb monitoring is adapted so error messages and flickering disappear.

Amber side markers off (import car)
On an American i3 the amber marker lights in the headlights can be switched off, as on European cars.
Only relevant for North American import cars.
Condition: US-import cars with side markers / corner LEDs
Coming/leaving home with fog lights
When unlocking or locking, the fog lights or rear lights light up as well as the headlights, so you see more around the car in the dark.
Only with factory-fitted fog lights.
Condition: Light switch in AUTO for welcome light
Bi-xenon headlight flash
When you flash your headlights, the xenon lamps join in so the signal is brighter and clearer.
Condition: Bi-xenon headlights
Comfort 7
Comfort-indicator flash count
A short tap on the indicator stalk gives the number of flashes you prefer, for example five instead of three when changing lanes.
Windows and sunroof via the key
Holding the button on the key opens or closes all windows (and the sunroof) at once. Nice for airing the car on hot days.
Condition: Convertibles: soft/hard top included on some versions
Mirrors folding on lock

Convenience 9
Doors locking from a set speed
The doors lock automatically once you drive off above a low speed and unlock again when you switch off the engine.
Register a new battery
After replacing the 12 V battery we register the new battery with the correct type and capacity, so charging and start-stop work properly.

One-touch engine start
One short press of the start button is enough to start the engine; you do not need to hold it.

Key ejects when the engine stops
When you switch off the engine the key is pushed out of the slot automatically, so you do not forget it.

Mirror dip on reverse
When you select reverse, the passenger mirror tilts down so you can see the kerb. It returns once you drive off.

Condition: Memory/heated mirrors with tilt function (LIN bus)
Open the rear glass with the key
On the Touring, the separately opening rear glass can be opened with the key, the outside button or an interior button instead of the whole tailgate.

Panic alarm from the key
Holding a key button sets off the alarm, for example to attract attention in an unsafe situation.
Unlock the driver door first
One press unlocks only the driver door, a second press the whole vehicle. Safer in car parks and for vans with cargo in the back.

After auto-locking, the doors unlock again as soon as you remove the key or, with DSG, select P.
