The display in the left exterior mirror provides as ­
sistance when making a lane c hange to the left,
while the display in the r ight exterior m irror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right.
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
s ide assist
informs yo u about vehicles that are
detected and classified as critical. The display in
the mirror turns on, but is dim .
The disp lay remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur­
bed.
Warning stage
If t he display in a m irro r blinks brightly whe n you

@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with yo u are indicated in the
exter io r mirror if they a re classified as cr itical for
a la ne change. A ll vehicles dete cted by s ide assist
are indicated by the time they ente r your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles you are passing
If
you s lowly pass a vehicle that s ide assist has
de tected ( the differe nce in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than app roximate­
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 tur n 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 des igned to detect the left
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 vehicle located in the area that is criti­ cal for a lane change. For example :
-If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane. If t his 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 s ide assist reacts to other objects (such as
roads ide structures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions . The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors
Q fig. 121 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob ­
jects, because this w ill impair the funct ion. Do
not use s ide ass ist when towing a trai ler. For in-
format io n on cleaning, see ¢
page 344. ..,.

Ass is tanc e system s
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle . Side assist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention . The dr iver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
s imi lar d riving maneuvers.
- In some situat ions, the system may not
funct ion or its f unct io n may be lim ited. 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 mist.
- 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 outs ide of the sensor
range .
@ Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . Th is can impa ir the system . Have
an author ized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i
Serv ice Facility check their function .
@ 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
r ect.
- For an explanation on conformity with the
F CC regu lations in the United States and the
Industry Ca nada regu lations, see
¢ page 374.
Switching on/off
Applies to: veh icles w ith Audi side assis t

Setting the display brightness
Applies to : vehicles wit h Aud i side ass ist
The display brightness can be adjusted in the In ­
fotainment system.
.,. Select in the Infotainment system: I MENU ! but­
ton
> V ehicle > left control button > Dri ver a s­
s is tanc e
> Audi side a ssist.
The disp lay br ightness adjusts automatically to
t h e brightness of the sur roundings, both in the
information and in the warning stage. In very
dark or very bright surroundings , the automatic
adjustment will set the display to the minimum
or max imum level. In such cases, you may notice
no change when adjusting the br ightness, or the
change may only be noticeable once the sur ­
round ings change .
Adjust the br ightness to a leve l where the display
i n the in formation stage will not disrupt your
v iew ahead . If you change the br ightness, the dis­
play in the exterior mirror w ill br iefly show the
br ightness leve l in t he info rmat ion stage . The
br ightness of the warn ing stage is linked to the
br ightness in the information stage and is adjust ­
ed along with the information stage .

Replacing tires
F or vehicles w it h all whee l dr ive, only wheels w ith
the same ro lling circumference should be used .
Avoid using tires with different tread depths
~ page 332, New tires or wheels.
A WARNING
- Also, in vehicles with all wheel drive, adapt your dr iv ing style to the current road and
traff ic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into tak ing risks,
because th is increases the r isk of an acci­
dent .
- The braking ability of your veh icle is limited
to the tract ion of the wheels. In this way, it
is not diffe rent from a two wheel dr ive vehi­
cle. Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
high speed when the road is slippery, be­
cause this increases the risk of an accident.
- Note that on wet streets, the front wheels
can "hydroplane" if driving at speeds that
are too high . Unlike front whee l drive
vehicles, the engine does not rev higher sud­
denly when the vehicle begins hydroplaning.
For this reason, adapt your speed to the
road conditions to reduce the risk of an acc i­
dent .
Energy management
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty . This s ignificantly improves the starting ab ility
and increases the vehicle battery life .
(D Tips
- If you drive short distances frequently, the
vehicle battery may not charge enough
while dr iving . As a resu lt, convenience func­
tions for elect rical equipment may be tem­
porarily unavailable.
- The vehicle battery will gradua lly drain if
the vehicle is not driven fo r long pe riods of
time, or if electrical equipment is used
when the engine is not running . To ensure
that the vehicle can still be started, the electrica l equipment will be reduced or
switched off.
Intelligent Technology
Notice about data
recorded by the Event
Data Recorder and
vehicle control modules
Event Data Recorder
T his vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re­
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa­
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand­
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle dy ­
nam ics and safety systems for a short per iod of
t ime, typ ically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NO TE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driv ing cond itions and no personal data (e.g .,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re­
corded. However, othe r parties, such as law en­
forcement, could comb ine t he EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac­
quired during a crash investigation.
T o read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to th e ve hicle manu­
facturer, other parties, such as law en forcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in ­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or down­
l oading of data stored by ED Rs installed in a vehi ­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af­
ter an accident or crash event without the own- er 's consent .
