If the Hi indicator light turns on, the lane depar-
ture warning is not ready to provide warnings.
This may be due to the following reasons:
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been
detected (for example, in a construction zone
or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)
—The speed is below the activation speed
— The lane is too narrow or too wide

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).

pear too early, then set the warning time to Me-
dium. The Late warning time should only be set
in special circumstances.
G) Tips
— If Audi pre sense is switched off, it switches
on again automatically once the ignition is
switched on again.)
— Switch Audi pre sense off when you are not
using public streets, when loading the vehi-
cle onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship, or oth-
er type of transportation, or when towing
the vehicle. This can help to prevent an un-
desired intervention from the Audi pre
sense system.

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.

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 (4) 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 (8) 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.
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 >(@).

detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

© Note
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Applies to: vehicles with park assist: If you
park in short parking spaces using park as-
sist, a continuous tone will sound from the
parking system when the distance to an ob-

ject is less than approximately 0.7 ft
(0.20 m). Do not continue driving farther.
G) Tips
— The segments in the side area* are detected
and analyzed 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 long period of time. In this
scenario, the side area* will appear black
until the area has been detected and evalu-
ated.
— If the distance to an obstacle remains con-
stant, the volume of the distance warning
gradually lowers after a few seconds until it
is muted (this does not apply to the continu-
ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than
it was before the sound was muted, the
tone will sound again. If the obstacle be-
comes farther away than it was before the
sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay
attention to the vehicle's surroundings
when you start to drive.
— There is no distance warning for the rear
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is
detected. The front sensors remain activat-
ed. The visual display switches to trailer
mode. There is no guarantee the functions
will be deactivated when using a retrofitted
