_& WARNING
Always switch the speed limiter off after use
to prevent it from being activated uninten­
tionally.
- Even when using the speed limiter, the driv­
er maintains full responsibility for control­
ling the vehicle's speed.
- Using the speed limiter in adverse weather
is dangerous and can result in a serious acci­
dent if you encounter heavy rain, snow, ice,
wet leaves etc. You should only use the
speed limiter if the road conditions and
weather allow you to do so safely.
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down
feature when the visibility and weather con­
ditions are suitable, and when the road and
traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
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.

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!

critical, the warning lamp@ on the exterior mir­
ror lights up¢ Fig. 96.
The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing lane towards the left
and the warning lamp on the right-hand mirror
assists the driver when changing lane towards
the right.
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
notes on page 89.
@ Note
You can adjust the brightness of the warning
lamp on the exterior mirror¢ page 90.

In certain cases, a vehicle is judged to be critical
in the event of a lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap­
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on

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.
� Note
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
