General information

®

A ss ist
Fig. 80 Rear of the ve hicle : po sition o f the senso rs (exa m·
p le)
Side assist funct ions at speeds above approxi
mately 19 mph (30 km/h) .
@ Approaching vehicles
In certain cases , a veh icle w ill be classified as
c ritical for a lane change even if i t is sti ll some
what far away. The faster a vehicle a pproaches,
the soon er the display in th e exterior m irro r will
turn on.
@ Vehicles tra veling with you
Vehicles traveling with yo u are indica ted in the
exterio r mir ror if they are classified as cr itical for
a lane change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are ind icated by th e time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest .
@ Vehicles y ou are pass ing
If you s low ly pass a vehi cle that s ide assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the d isplay in the exter ior m irror tu rns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot .
The display wi ll not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functiona l limitat ions
T he radar sensors are des igned to detect the le ft
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the norma l width . In some situations, the display
in the exte rior mirror may turn on even though
there is no veh icle located in the area that is criti·
ca l for a lane change . For example :
- If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on the edge of yo ur lane. If t his is the case, the .,..
77

Ass is t
system may have detected the vehicle in anoth
er 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 one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as high or displaced guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors ¢
fig. 80 with
s tickers, deposits, bicycle wheels o r othe r ob
jects, because they wi ll impair the function . For
information on cleaning, see
¢ page 275.
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr iver's attention. The driver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
- In some situat ions, 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 wea ther 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 detected
because they are outs ide of the sensor
range.
- Audi side assist cannot detect a ll vehicles
under all condit ions, w hich can increase the
risk of accidents .
- Please note that side assist only displays ap
proaching vehicles or vehicles in your blind
spot if your vehicle is travel ing at least
19 mph (30 km/h) .
- In certain situations, the system may not
work or its function may be limited. For ex ample:
- The display may not turn on at the rig ht
time if veh ides are app roaching or passing
very quick ly.
78
- In poor weather cond itions, such as heavy
rain, snow or fog .
- In very wide lanes, in tight c urves or when
there are slopes in the roadway, vehicles
i n the ne ighboring lanes may not be de
tected because they a re outside of the
sensor range.
(D Note
The sensors can be d isp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can impair the system. Have
an authorized Audi dealer or author ized Audi
Service Fac ility check their f unct ion.
(D Tips
- If the w indow glass in the dr iver's door or
front passenger 's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be inco r
rect.
- For an explanat ion on co nform ity w ith the
FCC reg ulations in the Un ited States and the
I n dust ry Canada regulat io ns, see
