Steering intervention request
If Audi active lane assist intervenes multiple
times when no steering activity is detected, the
steering intervention request will provide a warn-
ing using audio and visual signals, such as BE.
Take over the steering and keep your hands on
the steering wheel so that you will be ready to
steer at any time. The system may no longer be
ready to provide warnings after a short time, and
it will only become active again later.
If the driver does not take over steering, Audi ac-
tive lane assist will be switched off.
Behavior when a turn signal is active
Applies to: vehicles with side assist: The system
will not warn you if you activate a turn signal be-
fore crossing the lane marker line. In this case, it
assumes that you are changing lanes intentional-
ly.
Applies to: vehicles with side assist: If the turn
signal is activated, Audi active lane assist is
ready, and a lane change has been classified as
critical by lane assist due to vehicles traveling be-
side you or due to approaching vehicles, then a
noticeable corrective steering movement will oc-
cur briefly before exiting the lane. This will at-
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
ZX WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
— Corrective steering may not occur at all in
certain situations, such as during heavy
braking. Always be ready to intervene.
G) Tips
— Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so you can be ready to steer at any
time. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
142
— The system does not provide any corrective
steering or steering wheel vibrations if it de-
tects that you are passing another vehicle.
— The image in the Driver assistance display
only appears if it was opened in the on-
board computer > page 16.

Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense city
Within the limits of the system, Audi pre sense
city can warn about an impending front end colli-
sion and brake the vehicle strongly, if necessary.
The system uses the camera behind the wind-
shield and is available at speeds above approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h).
Driving situations
The situations to which the system reacts de-
pends on the vehicle speed.
Automatic braking interventions are available at
vehicle speeds up to approximately 50 mph
(85 km/h).
Up to speeds of approximately 50 mph
(85 km/h), the system may react to the following
situations:
— Pedestrians are moving inside your lane

Up to speeds of approximately 155 mph
(250 km/h), the system may react to the follow-
ing situations:
—Avehicle driving ahead clearly applies the
brakes
— When approaching a vehicle ahead that is clear-
ly traveling more slowly
— When approaching a stationary vehicle
Prewarning
To warn about detected dangers, Audi pre
sense 1) / {@) will appear in the instrument clus-
ter and an audio signal will sound.
A brief application of the brakes
If a collision is imminent, there may be an acute
warning using a brief application of the brakes.
You
will also be warned about the danger by an
indicator in the instrument cluster display. You
may only be able to avoid a collision by swerving
or braking strongly.
Automatic braking force increase
If there is an impending collision and you are not
applying the brakes enough, the braking force
may be increased, depending on the situation.
Automatic braking
If you do not react to the acute warning, the sys-
tem may apply the brakes with strong braking
force within the limits of the system in order to
reduce the speed of impact in the event of a colli-
sion.
If the brakes are applied until the vehicle is sta-
tionary, © / Please take over! will appear in
the instrument cluster and you must take over
control of the vehicle.

Parking aid
The parking aid plus assists you while parking
using audio and visual signals to warn you about
objects detected in front of, behind, and next to*
the vehicle > page 150.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the center display. The lines in the rear-
view camera image help you to park and maneu-

proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or
exiting a parking space > page 156.
Assisted parking
Park assist helps you to locate suitable parking
spaces and to park in them and exit them. Park
assist controls the steering movements when
parking in free parking spaces. The driver is still
responsible for accelerating, braking, and shift-
ing gears. The driver must always monitor the
area around the vehicle and supervise the parking

If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
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 (@) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines @) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment (3) 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 >@).

Rear cross-traffic assist
Applies to: vehicles with rear cross-traffic assist
Fig. 130 Center display: rear cross-traffic assist display
General information
The rear cross-traffic assist monitors the area be-
hind and next to the vehicle using radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle. The system can
detect moving objects that are approaching, such
as vehicles > fig. 129. A display in the MMI and
various warnings provide assistance when exiting
a parking space.
Requirements
— The parking aid is switched on > page 150 or
reverse gear is selected.
— The speed when driving in reverse must not be
higher than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
Displays, warnings, and braking
— Display: the display @ appears only when the
parking aid is active. For vehicles with peripher-
al cameras, this only happens in the Rear and
Rear corner camera views. Arrows show the di-
rection from which the cross traffic is approach-
ing.

— Audible warnings: a continuous tone may
sound as an additional warning when driving in
reverse.
— Automatic brake activation: if you do not react
to a warning, a brief braking by the system can
warn you of a potential collision with an ap-
proaching object.
The audible warning signal and the automatic
brake activation occur only when driving in re-
verse.
Switching on and off
— Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-

— Using two telephones
— Using the Audi phone box
ZX WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
=> page 26 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
