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: Even if the system is
ready, it will 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 lane departure warning
in combination with side assist: If the turn signal
is activated, the lane departure warning is ready,
and a lane change has been classified as critical
by the lane departure warning due to vehicles
traveling beside you or due to approaching
vehicles, then a noticeable corrective steering
movement will occur briefly before exiting the
lane. 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

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

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
@ 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 is an airbag control module mal-
function
— System functions may not be available if
the ESC is limited or switched off, or if
there is a malfunction.
Audi pre sense basic
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.

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
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 2) 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.
— If a crossing pedestrian?) moves into the lane
and you are driving at speeds between approxi-
mately 18 to 40 mph (30 to 65 km/h).
— Ifa 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 © 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 in the form
of sharp braking. You will also be warned by an
indicator in the instrument cluster display. When
this warning occurs, it may only be possible to
avoid a collision by swerving or braking strongly.
Automatic deceleration
If you do not react to the acute warning, Audi pre
sense front can brake the vehicle to a full stop
within the limits of the system. This reduces the
vehicle speed in the event of a collision.
Automatic braking force increase
If Audi pre sense determines that you are not
braking strongly enough when a collision is immi-
nent, it can increase the braking force based on
the situation.

Driver assistance

Take-over
If the message Bo Please take over! appears, the
vehicle has been braked to a stop by Audi pre
sense and you must resume control of the vehi-
cle.

ZA WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
— Audi pre sense front cannot overcome natu-
ral physical laws. It is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision in ev-
ery circumstance. The driver must always in-
tervene. The driver is always responsible for
braking at the correct time. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk of
a collision.
— Among other things, Audi pre sense front
does not react to pedestrians who are sta-
tionary, stopped, oncoming, and crossing at
an angle. It also does not react to cyclists,
groups of people, animals, crossing vehicles,
or oncoming vehicles and objects, such as
posts, guardrails, and railway vehicles.
— Audi pre sense front may be limited or un-
available when driving in curves.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
— In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
trailer can be different than usual during au-
tomatic braking.

G) Tips
— If you switch off the ESC, Audi pre sense al-
so switches off automatically.
— Certain Audi pre sense front functions are
unavailable or have limited availability for
approximately 20 seconds after starting the
vehicle (may be longer depending on the
driving situation).

8 5 N g é


Fig. 105 Examples: driving situations and exterior mirror
display
General information
Side assist monitors the blind spot and traffic be-
hind your vehicle. Within the limits of the sys-
tem, side assist can detect traffic that is ap-
proaching from behind and provide a warning
when you are changing lanes. The system uses
the data from the radar sensors at the rear cor-
ners of the vehicle.
The side assist is active at walking speeds and
higher. If an object that is classified as critical is
approaching, the display in the exterior mirror @)
on the corresponding side of the vehicle will light
up.
Driving situations
The system can provide warnings about the fol-
lowing risks:
@ Approaching vehicles: a vehicle may be classi-
fied as critical in some cases, even if it is far-
ther away. The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the outside mirror
will turn on.
® Vehicles traveling in the same direction: the
indicator will turn on in the outside mirror
when vehicles traveling in the same direction
are classified as critical. The side assist warns
you of all detected vehicles when they are in
the blind spot or before they reach that
point.
@® Vehicles you are passing: if you slowly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the dif-
ference in speed between the vehicle and
your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h )),
the display in the exterior mirror will turn on
when the vehicle enters your blind spot. The
display will not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the dif-
ference in speed is greater than approximate-
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Information stage
At the information level, the side assist informs
you of detected objects that are classified as criti-
cal.
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that you are not distracted while looking for-
ward.
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 in the mir-
ror may also flash 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, the display in the mirror will warn you
about detected vehicles that are classified as crit-
ical. You can also be warned with corrective steer-
ing page 120, Lane departure warning.

Driver assistance

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 105.
— The display may not appear in time when
vehicles are falling behind or approaching
very quickly.
@ Tips
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
rect.
— 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.
