times when no steering activity is detected, the
steering intervention request will provide a warn-
ing using audio and visual signals, such as ia
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 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.

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126.
— 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.

@) 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.
— 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 17.
