Audi side assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Aud i side ass ist
Fig . 112 Senso r de tection range
Fig. 113 D isplay on the exte rior mirror
Side assist (lane change assist) helps you monitor
your blind spot and traffic behind your vehicle.
Within the limits of the system, it warns you
120
about vehicles that are coming closer or that are
traveling with you within sensor range
(D
¢ fig. 112 . If a lane change is classif ied as cr iti­
ca l, the display @in the exterior mirror turns on
¢fig. 113.
The display in the left exterior mirror provides as­
s istance when making a lane change to the left,
while the display in the right 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 you about vehicles that are
detected and classified as critical. The display in
the mirror turns on, but is dim.
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur­
bed.
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as
critica l. If this happens, check traffic by glancing
in the exterior m irrors and over your shoulder
¢ .& in General information on page 121 .
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the
display in the m irror can a lso b link if you have not
activated a turn signal: if you are approaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as
critical.
@ Tips
You can adjust the brightness on of the dis­
play on the rearview mirror¢

In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
cr itica l for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faste r a ve hicle app roaches,
the soo ner the display in the exterio r mirror w ill
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Ve hicles traveli ng w ith you are ind icated i n the
exte rior m irro r if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehi cles detec ted by side assist
A ssi st a nce systems
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles you are passing
If you s low ly pass a vehi cle that s ide assist has
de tected (the difference in speed between t he
vehicle and you r 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 you r
blind spot.
T he disp lay w ill not turn 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 limitat ions
T he radar sensors are des igned to de tec t t he lef t
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal 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 you are dr iving 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 d riving 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 side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roads ide str uctures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors
c;, fig. 115 wit h
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob ­
jects, because t his w ill impair the funct io n. Do
not use s ide ass ist when towing a trai ler. For in­
format ion on cleaning, see
c;, page 351 .
A WARNING
--Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. S ide assist cannot
replace a driver's atte ntion. The driver alone
i s always re spon sible for lane changes and

Ass is tanc e system s
-In some situations, the system may not
function or its funct ion may be limited. For
example:
- I f vehicles a re approac hing o r be ing left
beh ind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time .
- I n poor weather conditions s uch as heavy
rain, s now o r heavy mis t.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, o r if
there is a rise in the road s urface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detec ted
because they are outside of the sensor
range.

damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
