For safety reasons, the cruise control system
must not be used in city traffic, stop-and-go
traffic, on roads with a Lot of bends or in dif
ficult or slippery driving conditions (such as
ice, fog, Loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, etc.)
- risk of accident!
- When you take a turn-off, drive along a mo-
torway exit Lane or pass through roadwork
sections, please temporarily switch off the
cruise control system.
- Make sure you do not unintentionally rest
your foot on the accelerator -this will over
ride the cruise control system which, as a re
sult, will not brake the vehicle.
- The automatic braking function may be de
activated if a system fault occurs in the
brake system (e.g. if the brakes overheat)
while the cruise control system is activated.
All the other cruise control functions remain
activated as Long as the indicator Lamp ii is
Lit.
CD CAUTION
Before driving down a Long, steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and move these
lector Lever to a Lower gear. In this way you
will make use of the engine braking effect and
relieve the Load on the brakes.
w) Note
- Vehicles with manual gearbox: The set
speed cannot be reached if the currently se
lected gear is too high or too Low or if the
engine would overrev or fail to run smoothly
at the target speed. Make sure to change up
or down a gear in good time.
- The brake Lights come on when the system
brakes the vehicle.
Adjusting the speed
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
• To increase or reduce the cruising speed in
steps of 1 km/h, briefly push the Lever one Lev

¢ page 80, Fig. 85.
• To increase or reduce the speed gradually, hold
the Lever towards GY0 until you reach the de
sired cruising speed.
Overruling the set speed
You can use the accelerator pedal to increase
speed in the normal way, for example to overtake
another vehicle. Once you release the accelerator,
the system will revert to the speed you stored ini
tially.
However, if the vehicle exceeds the programmed
speed significantly for a Long time, the cruise
control system will be deactivated temporarily.
The indicator Lamp ii in the instrument cluster
will go out, but the programmed speed will re

84 Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi active lane assist
The active Lane assist uses a camera in the wind
screen to detect Lane markings (subject to gener
al system Limitations). If you approach one of the
detected lane markings, the system corrects the
steering to warn you that the vehicle might be
about to cross one of the markings. You can over
ride this steering input at any time. The steering
wheel vibrates slightly if you cross a Lane mark
ing. The vibration warning must be activated be
forehand on the infotainment system. The active
Lane assist is functional when it detects a demar
cation line on at least one side of the Lane in
which you are driving.

.... As
the system is designed for driving on motor
ways and other major roads, it is only active
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif
ferent export markets).
Applies to vehicles with side assist*: If you oper
ate the turn signals while the active lane assist
and side assist are active, the steering will be cor
rected just before you cross the lane demarcation
if the side assist detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle and judges the situation to be
critical. This intervention is intended to keep the
vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: The sys
tem does not warn you if you operate the turn
signal before crossing a lane demarcation. In this
case, it assumes that you intend to change lanes.
_&. WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you are
always responsible for staying in your own
lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the vehi
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak
ing, the system may not correct the steer
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be initi
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front, rain,
snow, a lot of water on the road, adverse
light or dirt on the windscreen. If this hap-

pens, the active lane assist may not detect
the lane markings or may respond incorrect
ly.
- In certain circumstances, for instance if visi
bility is poor, the setting for the steering in
put may be switched from "early" to "late"
1)
- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in diffi
cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,
fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, snow,
etc.) -risk of accident!

- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant Lane
markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse Light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the Lane assist system is activa
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The Lane is narrower than 2.1 m or wider than
5.5 m.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering

Information mode
As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel
evant exterior mirror will light up at low intensi
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General

change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
© Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of less than 15 km/h,
the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will light
up as soon as the other vehicle enters your blind
spot.
If you are overtaking another vehicle quickly, with
a speed differential of more than 15 km/h, the
warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of a lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane. In this case the system may monitor an
other lane and register a vehicle that is not in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors ¢ Fig. 98 must not be obstruc
ted by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any oth
er substances which could impair the function of
the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer to
¢page 236.
.&_ WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi
ble for the safety of lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Driver
assist systems
- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
qui ckly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system may
not detect vehicles in the adjacent lane
because they are outside the area covered
by the sensors.
CD CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.
