2021 AUDI A6 change wheel

Driver assistance

ready to provide warnings after a short time, and
it will only become active again later.
If the driver does not take over steering, the lane
departure warning will no longer be ready to pro-
vide warnings. If the vehicle is equipped with
emergency assist and it is ready to function, it
will be activated > page 158.
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, 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 approach-
ing vehicles, then a noticeable corrective steering
movement will occur shortly 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 122.
— 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.
150
— The system does not provide any corrective
steering or steering wheel vibrations if it de-
tects that you are passing another vehicle.

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:

Parking and maneuvering

tion
Description


psp
Switch between 3D surroundings and Surroundings

Front corner
or Display selection
bar
This view makes it easier to drive out of tight parking spaces or areas and
intersections with poor visibility. It shows an almost 180° panorama view
in front of the vehicle.

Front
This view assists you in using the full area for maneuvering in front of the
vehicle.

Surroundings
This view helps you to maneuver and position the vehicle more precisely.
The area around the vehicle is shown using the camera images. The vehi-
cle image is shown by the system > A\.

Rear
This view assists you in using the full area for maneuvering behind the ve-
hicle. This is the rearview camera image.

Rear corner
This view can assist you when driving out of tight parking spaces or areas
with poor visibility. It shows an almost 180° panorama view behind the
vehicle.

Front tires
This view helps you to see the distance between the front tires and the
curb and the steering wheel angle when parking.

Rear tires
This view helps you to detect the distance between the rear wheels and
the curb when parking.

3D surroundings
In these views, you can see the areas surrounding the vehicle in 3D when
parking. The vehicle surrounding views are created from the camera im-

ages and sensor data. The vehicle image is shown by the system > A\.


ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.
— The Surroundings and 3D surroundings are
created from the individual camera images.
The vehicle image is shown by the system.
Objects and obstacles above the camera are
not displayed.

@) Note
Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block the
rearview camera.
@) Tips
— Depending on the selected gear, it will auto-
matically switch between the Front and
166
Rear views. If you switch the view manually,
the automatic front/rear camera change will
be temporarily deactivated.
— When first activated while a forward gear is
engaged, the Front corner is displayed.

Parking and maneuvering

process will be recalculated based on the vehi-
cle position.
LED in the button (4)
The LED informs about the availability of park as-
sist plus:
— Blinking white - park assist plus is ready to
control the parking process automatically or to
resume after an interruption.
— Green - park assist plus is active.
— Red - park assist plus was paused or stopped. A
message will appear in the instrument cluster
display > page 174.
Indicator in the upper display
The current driving maneuver and the status of
the park assist plus are shown in the upper dis-
play:
@ Path that the vehicle will travel during the
current parking maneuver
@® End point of the current parking maneuver/
direction change
®@ o Park assist plus active
©) Driving direction display
End of the parking process
The parking process will end automatically once
the vehicle has reached the end point in the park-
ing space. After park assist plus finishes parking
successfully, the parking lock will be engaged
and the parking brake will be set.
Pause park assist plus > page 173.


— Park assist plus is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist plus to drive into or
out of a parking space, the steering wheel
turns quickly on its own. Reaching into the
steering wheel spokes while this is happen-
ing can result in injury.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
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.


Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras © page 122.

— Press and hold the [>>P] button only if you
are sure that there are no obstacles in the
vehicle's path or under the vehicle, and that
no obstacles will move into the vehicle's
path.

G) Tips
— You can reduce the speed specified by the
system at any time by pressing the brake
pedal.
— The system can incorrectly interpret parking
space barriers (such as parking curbs). Take
over the parking process = page 173 if the
vehicle is not completely inside the parking
space or if the vehicle tries to drive over the
parking space barrier.
— The image in the display is an enlarged and
distorted image. Under certain circumstan-
ces, objects may appear different and un-
clear on the display. This is especially true if
there are objects that do not touch the
ground, such as the bumper of a parked ve-
hicle or the rear of a truck. Drive with spe-
cial care and do not use the image if neces-
sary.
— Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and green
surfaces in the display decreases when the
vehicle is raised or lowered with the air sus-
pension.
