@) Tips
— The driver is always responsible for adhering
to the regulations applicable in the country
where the vehicle is being operated.
— You may fall below the warning threshold
briefly when passing or when quickly ap-
proaching a vehicle driving ahead. There is
no warning in this scenario. A warning is giv-
en only if you fall below the warning thresh-
old for an extended period of time.
Lane departure warning
General information
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
The lane departure warning can detect lane
marker lines within the limits of the system. If
you are approaching a detected lane marker and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system can warn you with corrective steering and
a steering wheel vibration, if necessary.
The system functions in the speed range of ap-
proximately 40 mph - 155 mph (65 km/h -
250 km/h).
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
and without side assist: The system will not warn
you before crossing a lane marker line if you have
activated the turn signal. In this case, it assumes
that you are changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
combined with side assist: A noticeable corrective
steering movement will occur briefly before the
vehicle exits the lane if the turn signal is activat-
ed, the lane departure warning is ready, and a
lane change has been classified as critical by the
system due to vehicles traveling beside you or
due to approaching vehicles. This will attempt to
keep your vehicle in the lane.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and

or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Within the limits of the system, the Audi pre
sense functions can initiate measures in certain
driving situations to protect the vehicle occu-
pants and other road users. Depending on the ve-
hicle equipment, various Audi pre sense systems
may
be installed:
— Audi pre sense basic can react during emergen-
cy and dangerous braking maneuvers and un-
stable driving situations (such as oversteering
or understeering).
— Audi pre sense front can detect an impending
frontal impact and react with warnings, braking
interventions, and preemptive safety measures
for the vehicle occupants.
Audi pre sense preemptive safety measures
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Depending on the vehicle speed and the vehicle
equipment, the following functions may be initi-
ated in certain situations:
— Visual and audio warnings
— Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts
— Closing the windows and panoramic glass roof

@ Tips
— Depending on the dangerous situation that
is detected and the selected Audi drive se-
lect* mode, all preemptive safety measures
may not be initiated under certain circum-
stances. Certain functions can be adjusted
or skipped if necessary.
— Audi pre sense may also be limited or un-
available under certain circumstances, for
example if:
— There are passengers with unfastened
safety belts
— It has only been several seconds since the
ignition was switched on The
light turns on)2),

functioning > page 99
Oe eee
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic

Audi pre sense basic is automatically active at
speeds of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
higher. Audi pre sense basic can trigger the Audi
pre sense preemptive safety measures during
emergency braking and dangerous braking ma-
neuvers as well as in unstable driving situations,
such as oversteering or understeering.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and

Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front
The Audi pre sense front system uses the data
from the radar sensors and calculates the proba-
bility of a rear-end collision. Within the limits of
the system, an impending collision with the front
of the vehicle can be detected in both urban and
rural speed ranges.
Audi pre sense front is active at speeds of approx-
imately 3 mph (5 km/h) and higher. The system
can respond to pedestrians crossing the street or
going in the same direction of travel 3) at speeds
up to 40 mph (65 km/h). It can also respond to
stationary vehicles at speeds up to 52 mph (85
km/h) as well as to vehicles driving ahead or
stopped vehicles at speeds up to 155 mph (250
km/h).
Early warning/acute warning
The system can recognize various dangerous sit-
uations. The early warning occurs if:
—Avehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly
— Your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 50 mph (30 to 85 km/h) and
it approaches a stationary vehicle.
— Your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 155 mph (30 to 250 km/h)
and it approaches a vehicle that is clearly trav-
eling more slowly or a vehicle in your direction
of travel that is stopped.
— Ifa crossing pedestrian?) moves into the lane
and you are driving at speeds between approxi-
mately 18 to 40 mph (30 to 65 km/h).
— If a pedestrian is moving in your direction of
travel and in your lane 2) and you are driving at
speeds between approximately 18 to 40 mph
(30 to 65 km/h).
The message Audi pre sense o and a warning
tone will warn you about the danger.
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there may also be an acute warning inthe form >

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.

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

Fig. 108 Center display: distance display
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
Audio signals
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig-
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than
approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the
sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for-
ward or in reverse >.
To switch off audio signals while parking, press
in the center display. The audio warnings will

turn on again automatically the next time the
parking system is switched on. The volume can
be changed in the settings |] > page 138.


Visual warnings
The visual warnings in the center display help you
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate
the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (2) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines (2) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment @) indicates a
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-
cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-
hicle. The collision area has been reached when
the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles
in the collision area, including those outside of
the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-
tinue driving farther.
