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tion data out of date).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!

Audi side assist (Lane
change assist feature)
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.

--'(; --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. �

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

General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 104.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢page 104. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 104, Fig. 106 is also monitored.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. Orientation
lines in the image from the reversing camera as
sist you when parking or manoeuvring
¢ page 106. In addition, you are assisted by the
functions of the parking system plus
¢page 104.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 108.
A WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis
played by the system -risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis
tered. It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicle -risk of accident! Parking
aids
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel
rims.
(@ Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
