Electronic speed Limiter
Your v ehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum sp eed
of your vehicle . To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­ ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter . The electronic speed
lim iter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the t ire speed rating. For mo re information

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Appl ie s to: ve hicles w ith Audi ac tive lane assis t
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with­
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
correct ive steering. You can override th is steer ing
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will v ibrate l ightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express ­
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist* : if you act i­
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­
ing you, there w ill be noticeable corrective steer­
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist* : the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line . In this case, it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally .
& WARNING
-The system wa rns the driver that the veh icle
is leav ing the lane using co rrective s teer ing.
1 ) The co rrect ive stee ring fun ctio n is not ava ilabl e in all mar ­
ket s.
74
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. A lways keep your hands on the
steer ing wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
- Other road structures or objects could poss i­
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected o r may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by ra in,
snow, heavy spray light shin ing into the
camera or by dirt o n the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor ­
rectly.
- In certain s ituations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly" to "late" steering cor rection
ll.
- Unde r certain cond itions such as r uts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the potential for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash.

Ass is t
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest .
@Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a veh icle that side assist has
detected (the d ifference in speed be twee n the
veh icle and your veh icle is less t han 9 mph (15
km/h)), the d isplay in the exterior mirror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot .
The display will not tu rn o n if you quick ly pass a
veh icle tha t side assist has detected (the differ ­
ence in speed is greate r than 9 mph ( 15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The rada r senso rs a re designed to detect the left
and right adjacen t lanes when the road lanes a re
the normal wid th . In some s ituat ions, the d isplay
in the exter ior mirror may tur n on even tho ugh
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti ­
cal for a lane change. For example:
- If the lanes a re nar row o r if yo ur are dr iving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the system may have detected the vehicle in anoth­
er lane t hat is
not adjacent to your current lane.
- If you are dr iv ing t hrough a curve. Side assis t
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 condit ions . The side assis t
functions are limited.
Do not cove r the radar sensors¢
fig. 84 w ith
s tick ers, deposits, bicycle whee ls o r othe r ob­
jects, beca use they w ill impa ir the f unction . For
information on cleaning, see¢
page 266.
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area aro und your vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr iver's attention. The drive r alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
- In some situat io ns, the system may not
function or its funct ion may be limited . For
example:
78
-
- If vehicles are app roaching or being left
behind very q uickly. The disp lay may not
turn on in time.
- In poor weathe r cond it ions such as heavy
r ain, snow or heavy mist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
the re is a r ise in the road surface. Veh icles
i n the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
r ange.
- Aud i side assist can not detect all ve hicles
under all conditions, which can inc rease the
r is k of acciden ts.
- Please note that s ide ass ist only d isp lays ap­
proach ing vehicles or veh icles in your blind
spot if your veh icle is traveling a t least
19 mph (30 km/h).
- In ce rtain s ituations, t he sys tem may not
wo rk or its funct ion may be limited. For ex­
ample:
- The disp lay may not turn on at the r ight
time if vehicles are approaching or pass ing
very quickly.
- In poor weathe r con ditions, such as heavy
r ain, snow or fog.
- In very wide lanes, in tight c urves o r whe n
the re are slopes in the roadway, vehicles
i n the ne ighboring lanes may not be de­
tected because they a re outside of the
senso r range.
(D Note
The sensors can be d isplaced 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 the ir f unct io n.
(D Tips
- If the w indow glass i n the dr iver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the display in t he exterior mirro r may be inco r­
rect.
