Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist (lane departure warning) de
tects lane marker lines within 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 corrective stee ring .
You can override this steering at any time . If you
pass over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate
lightly . In order for this warning vibration to oc
cur, it must first be switched on in the Infotain
ment system. Active lane assist is ready for oper
ation 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 therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
Applies to: veh icles w ith side assist: if you acti
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 will be noticeable corrective steer
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to: veh icles w it h out s ide ass ist: the ready
system does not warn you if you activate a turn
signal before crossing the lane marker line. In
this case, it assumes that you are changing lanes
intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise control:
there is no corrective steering or warnings if the
syst em recognizes a distinct passing maneuver.
If the conditions are met, traffic jam assist
switches on at speeds under approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
¢ page 109 .
Assistance systems
A WARNING
--
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering .
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al
ways keep your hands on the steering
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 side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane assist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de
tecting them incorrectly .
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch from an "early" to
"late" steering correction.
- Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle 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 conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

Ass is tance sy stem s
Stee ring time
Earl y: in th is sett ing, the correct ive steering hap
pens continuously to help keep the vehicle in the
center of the lane.
La te : in this setting, the system provides correc
tive steering just before a w heel goes over a de
tected lane marker line .
Vibration warning
You can switch the additional vibration warning
i n the stee ring wheel on or off .
,&. WARNING
-
With the vibration warning switched off,
t here will also be no visual warn ing in the in
strument cluster display when crossing a lane
marker line.

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 disp lay remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur

If t he display in a m irro r blinks brightly whe n you

Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the

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

stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob

tem p lus/rearv iew camera/peripheral cameras
Depending on your vehicle's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The parking system plus assists you when park
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de
tected
in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver
¢ page 133.
The peripheral cameras give various views to
help you when parking or maneuvering
¢ page 135 . The parking system plus functions
are also available ¢
page 131.
_& WARNING
-Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
-
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur roundings, using the rearview mirror as
well.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
130
ized Audi Service Facility check their func
tion .
@ Note
-Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- objects above the sensors such as wall ex
tensions
- objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low ob
ject, it may disappear from the sensor range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to re
duce the risk of damage to the rims .
(D Tips
-The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
- external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
- in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex
haust
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals
and the display ¢
page 138.
-Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 139.
-What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.
- The rearview camera is cleaned when clean
ing the rear window
