Main beam assist
Applies to: vehicles with main beam assist
The main beam assist automatically switches
the main beam headlights on or off depending
on the surrounding light conditions.
A sensor (Located in the mounting for the interior
mirror) detects light sources from other road
users. The main beams are activated or deactiva
ted automatically depending on the position of
vehicles on either side of the road, on the road
speed, and on other traffic and ambient condi
tions.
On vehicles with matrix LED headlights, individu
al segments of the main beam are activated or
deactivated. The relevant sector in front of the
vehicle is masked, while the surrounding areas
remain lit. The ambient surroundings are thus il
luminated optimally without dazzling other road
users.

ually operate the windscreen wipers as re
quired depending on visibility.
- Do not use water-repellent coatings on the
windscreen. In bad visibility conditions such
as light rain, low sun or when driving at
night these coatings can cause increased
dazzle, which is a serious safety hazard.
Such coatings can also cause the wiper
blades to judder.
- Poor visibility can cause accidents. Always
ensure that the wiper blades are in good
condition ¢ page 51, Changing the wind
screen wiper blades.
CD CAUTION
- In icy conditions, check that the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If
the wiper blades are frozen to the wind
screen when you switch on the windscreen
wipers, this could damage the wiper blades.
- Make sure you switch off the windscreen
wiper system (lever in position 0) before you
use an automatic car wash. This will avoid
inadvertent triggering of the wipers and
possible damage to the wiper system.
i Note
- The windscreen wipers are deactivated
when the ignition is switched off. You can
activate the windscreen wipers after switch
ing the ignition on again by moving the
windscreen wiper lever to any position.

air quality sensor, which is designed for the de
tection of diesel and petrol exhaust fumes, au
tomatically switches the air recirculation mode
on or off depending on the level of pollution in
the outside air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or

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.

General notes
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
Fig. 102 Driving situations
--'(; --1 ) --
Fig. 103 Rear of vehicle: Location of the sensors (exam
ple)
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 30 km/h.
@Vehicles approaching from behind
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
the exterior mirror.
@Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
98 they
are judged to be critical in the event of a
lane 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 a re 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. 103 must not be ob
structed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any
other substances which could impair the function
of the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer
to ¢page 263.
A 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. �
