General information
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions. The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
- your own vehicle approaches a s ignificantly
s lower vehicle o r stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
When this warning occurs, it may only be poss i­
ble to avoid a collision by swerv ing or b raking
strong ly. Th e message
Audi pre sense .
¢ fig. 115 and a warning tone will warn you
about the danger.
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
ge rous situation that was detected by the sys­
tem, pre sense front provides assistance by ap­
p ly ing the brakes.
If a collis ion is imminent, the system w ill first
provide an
acute warning by braking sharp ly. You
will also warned by an ind icator in the instrument
cluster display¢
fig. 115. If you do not react to
the acute warning, pre sense front can brake with

event of a collision. At low vehicle speeds, pre
sense front can in itiate a complete deceleration

ahead
l ). If pre sense front determines that you
are not braking strongly enough when a collis ion
is imminent, it can increase the braking force .
The following functions trigger in conjunc tion
with pre sense basic/rear at corresponding vehi ­
cle speeds :
- Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts. - Closing the windows and sunroof*.
- Inflating the side bolsters* in the seat backrest
and seat surface.
Audi dr ive select*: the reversible belt tensioner,
the closing of the windows and s unroof* as we ll
as the inflating of the side bolsters* on the seat
backrest and seat surface are not active depend­
ing on the mode selected.
Evasive steering support
Evasiv e steering support helps you to steer the
vehicle around an obstacle in a critical situation.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the evasive steering support assists you by applying slight steering adjustment to correct
your steering wheel angle as long as you are ac­
t ively steer ing. Evasive steer ing support is availa­
ble at speeds between approximately 20 mph
(30 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h) .
Turn assist
When starting to drive and up to speeds of maxi­
mum 6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your ve hicle from
colliding w ith an oncoming vehicle when turning
left or r ight (ava ilable in certa in countries). The
braking intervention causes your vehicle to stay
i n its lane . ..,.

F ig. 119 Sensor detec tfon range
Fig. 120 Display on the exterior m irro r
Side assist (lane change assist) helps you monitor
your blind spot and traffic behind your vehicle.
W ith in the limits of the system, it warns you
about vehicles that are coming close r or that are
traveling with you w ithin sensor range(!)
c>fig. 119. If a lane change is classified as criti­
cal, the disp lay@ in the exterior mirror turns on
c>fig . 120.
The display in the left exter ior mirror provides as­
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the disp lay in the right exterior mirror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right .
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
side assist
informs you about vehicl es that are
detected and classified as critical. The disp lay in
the mirror turns on, but is dim .
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur ­
bed.
126
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as critical.
If this happens, check traffic by glancing
in the exterior mirrors and over your shoulder
c> .&. in General information on page 127.
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the
display in the mirror can also blink if you have not
activated a turn signal: if you are approaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will
be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it has class ified as
critical.
(D Tips
You can adjust the br ightness on of the d is­
play on the rearview mirror

In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faste r a veh icle approaches,
t he sooner the display in the exterio r mirror w ill
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveli ng with you are ind icated in the
exte rior mi rror if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehicles detected by side assist
Assistance systems
are indicated by the time they ente r your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles you are passing
If you s low ly pass a vehi cle that side assist has
de tected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than approximate­
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)), the disp lay in the exterior
mirror turns on as soon as the vehicle enters your
blind spot.
T he display w ill not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ­ ence in speed is greater than approximate ly 9
mph (15 km/h)) .
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no veh icle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example :
- If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another lane that is
not adjacent to your current lane .
- If you are driving through a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors
c:> fig. 122 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob­
jects, because th is will impair the function . Do
not use s ide assist when towing a trai ler. For in ­
formation on cleaning, see
c:> page 354.
A WARNING
-- Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle . S ide assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
-
similar driving maneuvers . IJI,
127

Ass is tan ce sys tems
-In some situations, the system may not
function or its funct ion may be limited. For
example:
- I f vehicles are approach ing or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- I n poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road su rface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detec ted
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
@ Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts o r
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. This can impair the system . Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function.
