@ 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

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 ¢

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 .
