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!

This message is displayed when the camera is no
longer functional after the system has continu
ously failed to detect the lane markings. This can
have the following causes:
- The outside of the camera window¢ page 93,
Fig. 95 is dirty or frosted. Remove dirt or ice
from this area of the windscreen.
- The inside of the camera window is misted up.
In this case, wait for the camera window to de
mist before switching on the active lane assist
system again.
- Due to the road conditions, the system has not
been able to detect the lane markings for a
long period. Do not switch the active lane assist
system on again before the lane markings are
discernible.

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.

your vehicle via the MMI; this depends on your
vehicle's equipment and the features of your mo
bile phone.
Handsfree operation
After connecting your mobile phone to the MMI
system via Bluetooth, you can operate the hands
free system and the telephone functions conven
iently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made
via the antenna of your mobile phone.
With the Audi phone box*, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Car phone d
)
As part of Audi connect*, the Audi phone box* in
cludes a car telephone function which can be
used via a separate mini SIM card in the SIM card
reader* or an rSAP 2
>-enabled mobile phone. With
the car telephone function, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Once a connection has been established success
fully, you can also change the profiles at a later
time. Refer to¢ page 213, Connection manag
er.
A WARNING
- According to health organisations, mobile
phones may interfere with the function of
pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm
should be kept between the mobile phone
aerial and the pacemaker.
l) Not available in all markets. On vehicles with Audi con
nect* and Audi phone box*
2 > Remote SIM Access Profile Telephone
- Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast
pocket directly over the pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.
- If you suspect interference, switch the
mobile phone off immediately.
- The speech dialogue system*¢ page 133
must not be used in cases of emergency,
since the voice changes in stressful situa
tions. This could result in a failed or delayed
telephone connection. Always dial emergen
cy numbers manually!
- Switch off your mobile phones in all areas
where there may be a risk of explosion. Re
member that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling
stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities
or transport vehicles and other places where
fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking pro
pane or fuel vapours in vehicles or build
ings) or large quantities of dust particles
(e.g. from flour, wood or metal) could accu
mulate in the air. This warning also applies
to all other places where you would normal
ly switch off your engine.
- Today's driving conditions require the full
attention of drivers. Please always note the
information in the chapter ¢page 121,
Notes on traffic safety.
CD CAUTION
Please always observe the information ¢(Din
Wi-Fi hotspot on page 166.
- For information regarding which Bluetooth
connections and functions your mobile
phone supports, contact your mobile net
