ln. WARNING
Improper use of the Adaptive Cruise Control can cau se collisions,
other accidents and serious personal injury .
• Always remember that the Adaptive Cruise Contro l has limits -
it will not slow the vehicle down or maintain the set distance when
you drive towards an obstacle or something on or near the road
that is not mo ving, such as vehicles stopped in a traffic jam, a
stalled or disabled vehicle .
• Always remember that the Adaptive C rui se Control cannot
detect a vehicle that is driving towards you in your traffic lane and
that it cannot detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles and bicy
cles .
• Never drive at speeds that are too fast for traffic , road and
weather conditions .
• The Adaptive Cruise Control cannot slow or brake the vehicle
safely when you follow another vehicle too closely . Always
remember that the Adaptive Cruise Control has a braking powe r
that is only about 30% of the vehicle 's maximum braking ability .

Aud i Lane assist
Lane assist
Applies to veh icles : w ith lane assist
Description
Lane assist helps you keep your 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 o f the veh icle's lane, the system enters
act ive standby mode, which is indicated by t he gree n indicator light
/: on the instrument cluster .
If the system is in active standby mode and the turn signal is acti
vated before driving over the boundary line , the warning does not
occur sinc e th e system allows for in tention al lane changes.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and expanded high
ways and th us works only at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
& WARNING
• Lane assist will not keep your vehicle in your lane. The system
only warns the driver when the vehicle is leaving the lane. The
driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle in the lane.
• The camera is not able to detect all lane boundary lines and in
some cases might also detect lane structures or objects as
boundary lines. This can lead to incorrect warnings or warnings
that fail to go off at all.
• The camera's visibility can be impaired by vehicles ahead of
you, for instance, or by rain, snow, heavy spray or light shining
into the camera lens. This can cause lane assist to fail to detect
boundary lines. •

Audi lane assist -________________ lff'II
Not ready: The yellow indicator light shows that the system is
turned on but unable to send a warning. This can be due to the
following:
• Th ere are no boundary lines, or there is only one boundary line
present.
• The boundary lines are not detected (e .g . due to snow, dirt, wet
conditions or light shining into the camera lens).
• More than two boundary lines (such as at construction sites) are
located in the vehicle's lane.
• Th e vehicle's speed is below the speed needed to activate it, which
is about 40 mph (65 km/h) .
• Th e lane is narrowe r than about 8
ft. (2.5 m), or wider than about
16 ft. (5 m).
• The curve is too sharp.
Notes on the instrument cluster display
When the lane assist turns off automatically, the instrument cluster
indicator goes out and one of the fo llowing messages appears on the
display:
Audi lane assist not available: currently no sensor vision
Thi s message appears when the camera can no longer function
because it cannot detect the boundary lines. This may be due to the
following:
• Th e exte rior side of the camera viewing window=>
page 134,
fig. 127 is covered with dirt or ice. Clean this part of the windsh ield.
• Th e came ra viewing window is fogged up on the inside. In this
case, wait until the fog disappears before turning lane assist on
again.
• Th e system was unable to detect boundary lines over an extended
period of time due to road conditions (such as snow-cove red lanes).
Do not turn lane assist on aga in until the lines can be more easily
detected.

[ i ] Tips
• Make sure that the camera viewing window => page 134, fig. 127

• Always keep the camera viewing w indow clean. This can us ually be

You can use the fv1fv1I to adjust the warning time and
steering wheel vibration.
-Select: Function button [CAR ]> Systems *> Audi lane
assist.
Setting the warning time
Early: This setting warns the driver before a wheel touches the
detected lane boundary line. The warning depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the boundary line. If you approach a boundary
line gradually, the warn ing will occur earlier. If you approach the
boundary line at a very sha rp angle, the warn ing will occur just befo re
a wheel touches the line.
Medium : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the characteris
tics of the road and the vehicle speed. The wa rning occurs later fo r
curves and occurs earlier for straight stretches of road . The warning
occurs later on narrow roads than on wide ro ads.
Late : This setting warns the driver when a wheel dr ives over the
detected lane boundary line.

_& WARNING
• Unintended vehicle movement can cau se serious injury.
- When the selector lever is in a driving position, the vehicle may creep, even at idle speed. Therefore do not release the
parking brake or foot brake until you are ready to move,
because power is transm itted to the wheels as soon as a driv ing
po sition i s engaged.
- Do not accelerate while selecting a driv ing position . At this
time the engine must be at idle speed so that undue stress i s
not placed on the clutches in the transm iss ion.
- Remember : • even when stopped briefly with the automatic
transmission in "D", "S" or "R" , engine power is being trans
mitted to the wheels . Your vehicle could "creep " forward or
backward. When stopped, keep the brake pedal fully
depre ssed and use the parking brake if neces sary to keep the
vehicle from rolling .
• If the selector lever is unintentionally moved into N while you
are driving, take your foot off the accelerator pedal and wait for
the engine to return to idle speed before selecting a driving posi
tion.
• Never shift into "R " or "P " when the vehicle is in motion .
• Never get out of the d river's seat when the engine is running.
• If you must get out of the vehicle , move the selector lever
securely into the P position and apply the parking brake firmly .
• If the engine must remain running, never have any driving
position engaged when checking under the hood.
