and (8) anti-lock brake system
If the indicator lamp DJ flashes while the vehicle
is in motion, the ESC or traction control system
(ASR) is intervening.
If the indicator lamp DJ lights up, the ESC sys
tem has been switched off for system reasons. In
this case, the ESC can be reactivated by switching
the ignition off and then on again. If the indica
tor lamp goes out, this means the system is fully
functional.

16 If
the indicator lamp DJ and the ABS indicator
lamp t�» light up and the message appears,
there is a malfunction in the anti-lock brake sys
tem or electronic differential lock. This will also
cause an ESC malfunction. The vehicle can still be
braked in the normal way (however the ABS con
trol function will be out of action).
Drive to a qualified workshop without delay and
have the fault rectified.
_& WARNING
If the brake warning lamp. lights up to
gether with the ABS indicator lamp and the
ES( indicator lamp, this can mean that the
control function of the ESC/ ABS is not work
ing. Input from the functions that stabilise
the vehicle is no longer available. This could
cause the vehicle to skid sideways. Drive care
fully to the nearest qualified workshop and
have the fault rectified.
{D) Note
For more information about the ESC and ABS
systems, refer to ¢page 113.

assist systems
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. �

Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) increa
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and road holding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and
wheelspin on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc
ing the engine torque. The indicator lamp DJ in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual
standstill. You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on full. Keep your foot
on the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal pulsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos
ted if you press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the oth
er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
0 This
function is not available at high speeds.
� To
prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
8 from
overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
"
Vl Intelligent
technology
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering. The relevant system may not
intervene in the wet or snow.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further colli
sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that a collision has taken place up
wards of a certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
the ESC.
The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- the brake pressure applied by pressing the
brake pedal is higher than the brake pressure
initiated by the system,
- or the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
A WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte
grated systems is still subject to the physi
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in
mind, especially on wet or slippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not
let the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving -this can
cause accidents.
- Remember that the accident risk always in
creases if you drive fast, especially in cor
ners or on a wet or slippery road, or if you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of you. Please bear in mind that even the
