At speeds above approximately 30 km/h, the
speed limiter helps prevent the driver from ex
ceeding a set cut-off
speed.
The indicator lamp

Lights up as soon as you switch on the speed
limiter. Information is also provided in the head-
up display*.

- The speed limiter is in passive mode, and a
set cut-off speed has been stored.
® - The speed limiter is activated. The indicator
lamp

flashes briefly when the speed limiter is
applied.
A WARNING
- Always direct your full attention to the
road,
even when you are using the speed limiter.
It is always the driver who is responsible for
determining the speed and for keeping a
safe distance to the other vehicles on the
road.
- For safety reasons, the speed limiter must
not be used in adverse weather or difficult
driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose
grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
etc.) - risk of
acci
dent!
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down
feature when the visibility and weather
con
ditions are suitable, and when the road and
traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
Before driving down a
long,
steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and select a low
er gear. In this way you will make use of the
engine braking effect and relieve the Load on
the brakes.

General notes
The traffic sign recognition system can detect
standardised speed Limit signs within the cam
era's range of
vision.
It makes use of the naviga
tion data to evaluate the detected speed limits
and show them on the display. Under certain
con
ditions, the system will also display the legal
speed limits on roads without speed Limit signs.
The traffic sign for the currently detected speed
limit will flash on the display if
a
speed warning
threshold,
which has been set on the infotain
ment system, is exceeded
^page
109.
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all
countries. For
a
current list, see the Internet (e.g.
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to
certain inherent restrictions and may be partially
or completely unavailable in the following situa
tions:
- If visibility is impaired by snow,
rain,
fog or
heavy road spray.
- In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncom
ing traffic.
-At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision
^>Fig.
98 is im
paired,
e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean
ing
•=>
page 312.
- If the traffic signs are partially or completely
obscured,
e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga
tion data out of date).
- If the system detects a speed sticker on a slow-
moving vehicle (such as a heavy goods vehicle).
WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence
over
the information on the display. It is al
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi
ble that the speed limit display may occa
sionally be unavailable or even incorrect.

Location of the sensors
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 15 km/h.
0
Vehicles approaching from behind
In certain cases, a vehicle
is
judged to be critical
in the event of
a
lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on
the exterior mirror.
(2) Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
they are judged to be critical in the event of
a
lane change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
(§)
Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of Less than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror
will light up as soon as the other vehicle enters
your blind spot.
If
you
are overtaking another vehicle quickly,
with a speed differential of more than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of
a
lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow Lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane.
In this case the system may monitor an
other lane and register a vehicle that is nor in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors
^>Fig.
120 must not be ob
structed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any
other substances which could impair the function
of the system. The side assist must not be used
when towing a trailer. For notes on cleaning,
please refer to
^>page
312.
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not
a
substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi
ble for the safety of Lane changes and other
manoeuvres.

A
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur
rounding the vehicLe. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis
played by the system - risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have bLind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis
tered.
It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicLe - risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicLe and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
(T)
CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc
tures,
such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note
that
you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel
rims.
(T)
Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
-To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend
that
you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can change the display and adjust the
volume and pitch of the beeps
