& WARNING
• Never turn off the engine until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• The brake booster and servotronic only work when the engine
is running. With the ignition turned off, you have to apply more
force when steering or braking. Since you cannot steer and stop
normally, this can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
• For safety reasons, you should always park your vehicle with
the selector lever in P. Otherwise, the vehicle could inadvertently roll away.
• After the engine has been switched off, the radiator fan can
continue to run for up to 10 minutes -even with the ignition
switched off. It can also switch on again after some time if the
coolant temperature rises as the result of a heat buildup or if the
engine is hot and the engine compartment is additionally heated
by the sun's rays.
0 Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for an extended period,
heat builds up in the engine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the engine. Allow the
engine to run at idle for about 2 minutes before switching it off. •

Driver messages in the instrument cluster
display
If a function is not present, a driver message appears.
No key identified
This message appears when the [STAR T) button is pressed if there
is no master key inside the vehicle or if the system does not recog­
nize it . For example, the master key cannot be recognized if it is
covered by an object (e.g. aluminum brief case) which
screens the radio signal.
.Electronic devices such as cell phones can also inter­
fere with the radio signal.
Press brake pedal to start engine
This message appears if you press the [ START) button to start the
engine and do not depress the brake pedal. The engine can only be
started if the brake pedal is depressed.
Engage N or P to start engine
This message appears when the engine is started if the selector
lever for the automatic transmission is not in the P or N position.
The engine can only be started with the selector in these positions.
? Key not in vehicle
This message appears along with the symbol if the master key is
removed from the vehicle with the engine running. It is intended to
remind you (e.g. when changing drivers) not to continue the journey
without the master key.
If the master key is no longer in the vehicle, you cannot switch off
the ignition after stopping the engine and you also cannot start the engine again. Moreover, you cannot lock the vehicle from the
outside with the key.
Shift to P, otherwise vehicle can roll away. Doors do not lock if lever
is not in
P.
This message appears for safety reasons along with a warning
buzzer if the selector lever for the automatic transmission is not in
the P position when the ignition is switched off with the
[STOP)
button and the driver's door is opened. Move the selector lever to
the P position, otherwise the vehicle is not secured against rolling
away. You also cannot lock the vehicle using the locking button on
the door handle or using the remote key.

In certain situations, the braking power of the Adaptive Cruise
Control is no t enough to maintain an adequate distance to the
vehicle up ahead . In these situations, the Adaptive Cruise Contro l
calls the driver to take action.
The

• A warning tone sounds .
[ i J Tip s
• If the Adaptive cruise control initiates braking, the hydraulic
brake system is under pressure . Therefore, the brake peda l distance
is shorter and the pedal "fee ls" harder .
• Adaptive Cruise Contro l is switched off after pressing the foot ­
brake. The speed saved up this point can be resumed .
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press

Audi lane assist
Lane assist
A pplies to veh icles : with lane assist
Description
Lane a ssist helps you keep y our vehicle in your lane .
Lane assist uses a camera to detect lane boundary lines. If the
system detects that your vehicle is about to leave a lane boundary
line, the steering wheel
vibrates to alert the driver. If lane assist
detects boundary lines on both sides of the vehicle's lane, the
system enters active standby mode, which is indicated by the green
indica tor light /: on the instrument cluster .
I f the system is in active standby mode and the turn signal is acti­
vated before driving ov er the boundary line, the warning does not
occur since the sys tem allows for intenti onal lane changes.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and expanded high ­
ways and t hus works on ly at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or mo re .
& WARNING
• Lane ass ist will not k eep your vehicle in your lane. The sy stem
only warns the d riv er w hen t he vehicle i s le av ing the lan e. The
driv er is alway s re spon sible for keeping the vehicle in the lane.
• The camera is not able to d ete ct all lane boundary lines and in
s o me cases might al so dete ct lane str ucture s or objects as
boundary lines . This c an le ad to in corre ct wa rning s or warnings
that fa il to go off at all .
• The camer a's visibili ty ca n be i mpaired by vehi cle s ahe ad of
you , for instan ce, or by rain , snow , h eavy spray or li ght shining into
th e cam era lens . Thi s can ca use lane as sis t to f ail to d ete ct

Audi side assist
Lane Change Assistant
Applies to vehicles: with side ass ist
Description
The side assist helps you when changing lanes.
AUDI

Position of radar
sensors (not visible on
outside)
Fig . 147 Signal light
on the outside mirror -
driver's side
Side assist uses radar sensors (not visible on outside) ::::, fig. 146 to
help the driver check blind spots, and see what is happening in
traffic behind the vehicle::::,
page 148, fig. 149.
Signal lights are built into both outside mirrors::::, fig. 147. The
signal light on the left outside mirror assists when moving over into the left lane and the signal light on the right outside mirror assists
when moving over into the right
lane.
The signal light comes on to tell you that side assist has detected a
vehicle on that side and that the position of this other vehicle
should be taken into account if you were to change lanes. This is
called the
informational stage signal::::, page 148. The informational
stage signal is designed so that you notice it only when you are
looking in the outside mirror.
When you activate the turn signal and side assist detects a vehicle
in a notable location, the corresponding signal on the outside
mirror flashes briefly and brightly several times. This is the
alert
stage signal ::::,

Deactivating
- Press t he button again . T he ind icato r light on the butto n
goes out.
T he system works at speeds faster than 19 mph (30 km/h) .
& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause colli­
sions and seriou s per sonal injury:
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes .
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to c hange lanes.
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions­
danger of accident!
• Side assist cannot detect vehicles in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed , or fall drop back
very quickly.
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced or entirely blocked by
rain , snow, and heavy spray . This can result in side assist not
adequately detecting veh icles or , in some cases, not detecting
them at all . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
• Please note that side assi st indicates there are approaching
vehicles, or vehicles in your bl ind spot , only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at lea st 19 mph (30 km /h).
• S ide assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radiu s less than 328 feet, or 100 m l.
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention . The
d river alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driv ing
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the d ire ction you are travel ing
and the relevant area around the vehicle .
