Speed Limiter
Description
Applies to: vehicles with speed Limiter
®
Fig. 89 Speed limiter: illustration
At speeds above approximately 30 km/h, the
speed limiter helps prevent the driver from ex
ceeding a set cut-off speed. The indicator lamp
Ill lights up as soon as you switch on the speed
limiter.
Speed limiter displays
@ -The speed limiter is in passive mode, but a
cut-off speed has not yet been set.
@- The speed limiter is in passive mode, and a
set cut-off speed has been stored.
@ -The speed limiter is activated. The indicator
lamp Ill flashes briefly when the speed limiter is
applied.
A 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.
- Always direct your full attention to the road,
even when you are using the speed limiter.
It is always the driver who is responsible for
determining the speed and for keeping a
safe distance to the other vehicles on the
road.
- For safety reasons, the speed limiter must
not be used in adverse weather or difficult
driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose
88 grit
or gravel, heavy rain, etc.) -risk of acci
dent!
- 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 select a low
er gear. In this way you will make use of the
engine braking effect and relieve the load on
the brakes.

Camera-based traffic
sign recognition
Description
Applies to: vehicles with camera-based traffic sign recogni
tion
Fig. 91 Instrument cluster: Traffic sign recognition
Fig. 92 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 r;J or at certain times of day �
¢ Fig. 91 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.
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to
90 certain
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 oncom
ing traffic.
- At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision ¢ Fig. 92 is im-
paired, e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean
ing ¢page 263.
- 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.
A 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 is given in the units applicable in a
particular country. For example, if SO is dis-
played on the instrument cluster, this may �

Audi active Lane assist
(Lane departure warning
feature)
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.
A 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.
l l
The steering input function is not available on all export
versions.
92 -
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
internally
from "early"
to"late" l)_
- 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!
