Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
Fig. 100 Area covered by the radar sensors
Fig. 101 Warning lamp on exterior mirror
The side assist function assists the driver in mon
itoring following traffic and the blind spots on
both sides of the car. Within certain system Lim- Driver
assist systems
its, it warns you if it detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle in the area covered by the sen
sors (!)¢ Fig. 100: if it judges a Lane change to
be critical, the warning Lamp@on the exterior
mirror Lights up¢ Fig. 101.
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¢ A in General
notes on page 98.

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
quickly, 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.
(D} 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.

Audi Genuine Tyres
Audi Genuine Tyres with the marking "AO" are
specially matched to your Audi. When used prop
erly, these tyres meet the highest standards in
safety and handling. Your specialist retailer will
be glad to provide more information.
_& WARNING
- Use only tyre/rim combinations and match
ing wheel bolts approved by Audi. Otherwise
damage to the vehicle and an accident could
result.
- For technical reasons, it is not possible to
use wheels from other vehicles. In certain
cases, it is not even possible to use wheels
from another vehicle of the same model.
- It is very important to ensure that the tyres
you have chosen have adequate clearance.
When selecting replacement tyres, do not
rely entirely on the nominal tyre size
marked on the tyre; with some makes of
tyre the effective tyre size can differ signifi
cantly from the nominal dimensions, even
though the tyres have the same size desig
nation. Inadequate tyre clearance can result
in damage to the tyres or the vehicle, caus
ing a serious safety risk.
-Avoid running the car on tyres that are more
than 6 years old. If you have no alternative,
you should drive slowly and with extra care
at all times.
- The use of run-flat tyres on your vehicle is
NOT authorised! Unauthorised use can cause
an accident or damage your vehicle.
- If wheel trims are fitted after the car is pur
chased, ensure that there is an adequate
flow of air for cooling the brakes -risk of ac
cident!

which you are travelling. Wheels
Tyre wear / damage
Fig. 221 Tyre tread: Tread wear indicators
Tyre wear
Inspect the tyres regularly for damage.
- The wear on under or over-inflated tyres is sig
nificantly higher.
- Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking all increase tyre wear.
- If you notice excessive tyre wear, have the
wheel alignment checked by a qualified work
shop.
- Have your tyres rebalanced if steering wheel vi
brations indicate an imbalance. Otherwise, the
tyres and other parts of the vehicle may wear
faster.
Tread wear indicators
The original tyres on your vehicle have 1.6 mm
high tread wear indicators
¢ Fig.
221 running
across the tread at regular intervals. The letters
"TWI" or triangles on the sidewall indicate the
positions of the tread wear indicators.
The minimum tread depth 1
) is reached at the lat
est when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Replace the tyres with new ones
¢ _8..
Changing wheels round
Wheels should be changed round regularly to en
sure that the wear is equal on all tyres. Fit the
wheels from the rear axle on the front axle and
vice-versa. All the tyres will then last for about
the same time.

... Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for a few yards; follow the instruc
tions given by the manufacturer.
... Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob-
serve the applicable local regulations.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi
nations.

You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
A WARNING
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow
chains can cause you to lose control of the ve
hicle -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
- Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove
the hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains
which have a protective coating.
- If you use snow chains with links that pro
trude more than 13.5 mm, this could cause
severe damage to the wheel housings and
other parts of the vehicle.
({D Note
When driving with snow chains, it may help to
switch on sport mode ¢ page 114.
Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicle is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi
nations. This makes the car's handling more
agile. However, the ride may be less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
258 Low-profile
tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and
kerbs. It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres
sure c:>page 256.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and
tyres.
Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the
rims.
After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by a qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi
tions, snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions c:::> page 257.
Tyre pressure Loss
indicator
Tyre pressure loss indicator in instrument
cluster
Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator
The tyre pressure Loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too Low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in
the inflation pressure are detected on one or
more tyres, the driver is alerted by an indicator
lamp [tE and a message on the infotainment dis
play. If only one tyre is affected, the display will
indicate its position.
Each time you change a tyre, change the wheels
round or change the tyre pressures on your vehi
cle (e.g. when switching from partial load to full
load and vice-versa), you must store the new tyre
pressures on the infotainment system
