Speed warning function
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning function
The speed warning function can
help
you keep
below a pre-set maximum speed. It can be set,
changed and deleted on the infotainment sys
tem.
The speed warning function will warn you if the
vehicle exceeds the pre-set maximum speed. The
system gives an audible warning signal if the set
speed is exceeded by a small amount. At the
same time, a warning lamp [5] and a message
will appear on the instrument cluster display.
The indicator Lamp [5] and the message will dis
appear when the road speed drops below the set
value.
You are recommended to store this speed limit
warning if you wish to be reminded of a particu
lar speed limit. This could be when driving in
countries with general speed limits, or if you
need to keep below a particular speed when
win
ter tyres are fitted, etc.
Setting speed limit warning
•
Select the following on the infotainment sys
tem:
IMENUI
button > Car > left control button
> Driver assist > Speed warning > manual.
© Note
- Please bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep a check on the car's speed with the
speedometer and to observe the statutory
speed limits.
- On vehicles for some markets, the speed
warning function warns you when you reach
a speed of 120 km/h. This speed limit warn
ing is preset at the factory.
Switching on
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system allows you to drive at a
constant speed of 20 km/h or
higher.

The indicator lamp
[3]
in the instrument cluster
will light up. Information is also provided in the
head-up display*.
The instrument cluster display will briefly
indi
cate the stored or
pre-selected
speed.
A constant speed is maintained by adjusting the
engine power or braking the vehicle accordingly.
WARNING
- Always direct your full attention to the
road,
even when you are using the cruise control
system.
It is always the driver who is re
sponsible for determining the speed and for
keeping a safe distance to the other vehicles
on the
road.
- For safety reasons, the cruise control sys
tem must not be used in city traffic, stop-
and-go traffic, on roads with a lot of bends
or in difficult or slippery driving conditions
(such as ice, fog, Loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
etc.) - risk of accident!
- When you take a turn-off, drive along a mo
torway exit lane or pass through roadwork

Instrument cluster: Traffic jam assist
The traffic jam assist is an extension of the active
lane assist
^>page
123 and uses its functions in
conjunction with the functions of the adaptive
cruise control
^>page
111.
The traffic jam assist
can help to keep the vehicle in Lane. The system
steers the vehicle automatically when the adap
tive cruise control is switched on (subject to cer
tain inherent system limitations). As the name
implies, the purpose of the traffic jam assist
function is to assist the driver; the driver must
keep his/her hands on the steering wheel at all
times and must always be ready to take over the
steering.
The driver can override the automatic
steering at any time by steering manually.
The system is designed for driving on motorways
and major roads.
Requirements for using the traffic jam assist
• The vehicle's speed must be below
65
km/h.
• The active lane assist must be switched on and
it must have detected a demarcation line on •

Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
If
you
operate the turn signals while the active
lane assist and side assist are active, the steering
will be corrected just before you cross the lane
demarcation if the side assist detects vehicles ap
proaching quickly or travelling at about the same
speed as your own vehicle and judges the situa
tion to be critical. This intervention is intended to
keep the vehicle in the Lane.
Applies to: vehicles without Audi side assist
The system does not warn you if
you
operate the
turn signal before crossing a Lane marking. In
this case, it assumes that you intend to change
lanes.
Applies to: vehicles with traffic jam assist
The traffic jam assist can be activated at speeds
below approximately 65 km/h if the correspond

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
The active lane assist (lane departure warning
feature) uses a camera in the windscreen to de
tect lane markings (subject to general system
limitations). If
you
approach one of the detected
lane markings, the system corrects the steering
to warn you that the vehicle might be about to
cross one of the markings. You can override this
steering input at any time. The steering wheel vi
brates slightly if
you
cross a lane marking. The vi
bration warning must be activated beforehand on
the infotainment system. The active lane assist is
functional when it detects a demarcation line on
at least one side of the lane in which you are driv
ing.
As the system is designed for driving on motor
ways and other major roads, it is only active
§
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif-
£
ferent export markets).
r\i

A WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you
are always responsible for staying in your
own lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the
vehi
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands
off the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak
ing,
the system may not correct the steer
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be
initi
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front,
rain,
snow, a lot of water on the
road,
adverse
light
or
dirt on the windscreen. If this hap
pens,
the active lane assist may not detect
Driver assist systems
the lane markings or may respond incorrect-
iy.
- In certain circumstances, for instance if
visi
bility is poor, the setting for the steering in
put may temporarily be switched from "ear
ly"
to "late"
«.
- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in
diffi
cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,
fog,
loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
snow,
etc.) - risk of accident!

markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the lane assist system is activa
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The traffic lane is too narrow or too wide.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering
wheel.

The side assist function
(lane

traffic and the blind spots on both sides of the
car. Within certain system limits, it warns you if
it detects vehicles approaching quickly or travel
ling at about the same speed as your own vehicLe
in the area covered by the sensors
©^Fig.

If it judges a lane change to be critical, the warn
ing Lamp (5) on the exterior mirror lights up
^Fig.

The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing lane towards the left
and the warning Lamp on the right-hand mirror
assists the driver when changing lane towards
the right.
Information mode
As Long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical.
In this case, the warning lamp on the
rel
evant exterior mirror will Light up at low intensi
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If
you
operate the turn signal and the warning
lamp on the relevant exterior mirror flashes
brightly, the side assist is warning you of what it
judges to be a critical vehicle. Please check the
situation in the exterior mirror and by looking
back over your shoulder
