.... Camera-based
traffic
sign recognition
Description
Applies to vehicles: with camera-based traffic sign recognition
Fig. 14 Instrument cluster: Traffic sign recognition (exam
ple)
Fig. 15 Windscreen: Camera window for traffic sign recog
nition
Traffic signs detected by the camera appear in
the infotainment display to keep you informed of
current speed restrictions and no-overtaking
zones. In cases where the system is able to de
tect temporary speed limits applicable in wet
weather g;J or at certain times of day�
¢ Fig. 14 it will also display these traffic restric
tions.
General notes
The traffic sign recognition system can detect
standardised speed limit signs within the cam
era's range of vision. It makes use of the naviga
tion data to evaluate the detected speed limits
and show them on the display. Under certain con
ditions, the system will also display the legal
speed limits on roads without speed limit signs.
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all
countries. For a current list, see the Internet (e.g. Driver
information system
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to cer
tain inherent restrictions and may be partially or
completely unavailable in the following situa
tions:
- If visibility is impaired by snow, rain, fog or
heavy road spray.
- In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncoming
traffic.
-At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision � Fig. 15 is im-
paired, e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean
ing ¢ page 236.
- If the traffic signs are partially or completely
obscured, e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga-
tion data out of date).
Some types of slow moving vehicles (such as
heavy goods vehicles) carry speed stickers which,
if detected by the system, may affect the display.
& WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence
over the information on the display. It is al
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi
ble that the speed limit display may occa
sionally be unavailable or even incorrect.
- The traffic sign recognition system does not
warn you if you exceed the speed limit and
does not alter the speed of your vehicle to
obey the speed limit.
- The speed limit displayed in the instrument
cluster (e.g. SO) may apply in mph or km/h,
depending on the units applicable in a par
ticular country.

check regularly that the emergency key is still
present in the remote control key casing.
@ Spare key
This key is intended for temporary use only and
should be used only in an emergency. Keep it in a
safe place and do not carry it on the keyring.
Replacing a key
If you should lose a key, please contact an Audi
dealer. Have the remote control coding for that
key deactivated. For this purpose you should
bring all available keys with you. It is also impor
tant to notify your insurance company if a key has
been lost.
Number of keys
You can check how many keys are initialised for
your vehicle using the infotainment system. Se
lect the following on the infotainment system:
I MENU I
button >Car> left control button > Serv
icing & checks > Initialised keys. This feature en
ables used car buyers to make sure they have re
ceived all of the keys.
Electronic immobiliser
The immobiliser is designed to prevent unauthor
ised persons from driving the vehicle.
It may not be possible to start the engine with
the key if there is another ignition key from a dif
ferent make of vehicle on the same key ring.
Data stored on remote control key
Data related to the service and maintenance of
the vehicle are stored continuously on your re
mote control key while you are driving. Your Audi
dealer can read out the data and will then be able
to tell you what service work is required. This also
applies to vehicles with convenience key*.
Personal convenience settings
If two people use the same car regularly, it is a
good idea for each person to have his or her
"own" remote control key. When you switch off
the ignition or lock the vehicle, your personal set
tings for the following convenience features are
stored and assigned to the remote control key:
- Air conditioner
26 -
Central locking system
-Windows
- Background lighting*
- Parking aid*
- Active lane assist*
- Side assist*
- Drive select
The stored settings are then recalled automati
cally the next time the vehicle is unlocked, the
doors are opened or the ignition is switched on.
_& WARNING
Always take the key with you when leaving the
vehicle -even if you only intend to be gone for
a short time. This is especially important if
children are left in the car. They might other
wise be able to start the engine or use power
operated equipment such as the electric win
dows -this could lead to injuries.
The function of the remote control key may be
impaired by interference from other nearby
radio signals (for example from a mobile tele
phone or TV transmitter) if these are in the
same frequency range.
