2019 AUDI Q3 width

Assist systems

@) Tips
— The coverage areas of the sensors > fig. 86
are diagrams and do not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges. The ra-
dar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road
lanes
are the normal width.
— Make sure all the sensors are clean and free
of snow and ice, and that the visual fields
are not covered by stickers, deposits, or any
other obstructions, because this may impair
the function of the systems. Follow the in-
formation about cleaning > page 236.
— Do not use a license plate bracket different
from the one installed by the factory in the
front of the vehicle, because it may impair
the function of dependent systems.
— The sensors can shift from an accident,
manual force, impacts, or from damage to
the radiator grill, bumper, wheel housing,
or underbody. Do not continue using the as-
sistance systems if the sensors have shifted,
because this is unsafe. Have an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility check their function.
— The function of the sensors may be limited
when light and visibility conditions are poor,
for example when driving into a tunnel,
when there is glare, or when there are re-
flective objects.
— External ultrasonic sensors, such as those in
other vehicles, can interfere with the sen-
sors.
—The side area ©)* is detected and evaluated
when passing. There may have been
changes to the surrounding area after
switching the ignition off and on again, af-
ter opening the doors, or if the vehicle is left
stationary for a period of time. In this case,
the area will appear black until the area has
been detected and evaluated.

FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see

RAZ-0381 [


Fig. 89 Diagram: Rearview camera coverage area
The assist systems analyze the data from various
cameras installed in the vehicle. Depending on
the vehicle equipment, the following cameras to
detect the surrounding area may be installed:
@ Camera behind the windshield
@ Peripheral cameras on both exterior mirrors
@ Rearview camera in the luggage compart-
ment lid
@ Front peripheral camera in the radiator grille
The rearview camera can only detect the area
marked in red > fig. 89. Only this area is dis-
played on the center display. > A\.

ZA WARNING
There are areas that the cameras cannot de-
tect. Objects, animals, and people may only
be detected with limitations may not be de-
tected at all. Always monitor the traffic and
the vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted. >

Driver assistance

Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is warning you
about detected objects classified as critical.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and other
driver assistance systems, the display on the re-
spective mirror may also flash if you have not
turned on the turn signal: If you are approaching
a detected lane marker line and it appears you
will be leaving the lane, the display on the mirror
will warn you about detected vehicles that it has
classified as critical. You can also be warned with
corrective steering > page 119, Lane departure
warning.
Detection range
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior 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 this 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 side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).

ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The display may not appear on time when
vehicles are approaching or being passed
very quickly.

@ Tips
— The system is not available when towing a
trailer. There is no guarantee the system
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch. Do not use these functions when
towing a trailer.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
