are indicated, at the latest, by the time they en
ter your "blind spot".
© Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
veh icle and your vehicle is less than approximate
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior
mirror turns on as soon as the vehicle enters your
blind spot.
The display will not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ
ence in speed is greater than approximately 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 vehicle 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 ¢
fig. 112 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle racks or other objects,
because this will impair their function. Do not
use side assist when towing a trailer. For infor
mation on cleaning, refer to¢
page 33 7.
A WARNING
- Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
Assist
-In some situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:
- If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy m ist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can adversely affect the sys
tem. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility check their func
tion.
(D Tips
If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor
rect.
Switching on and off

tainment system.
