- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant lane
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.

Audi active lane assist: system fault!
Audi active lane assist: currently unavaila­

ble.
No camera view
This message is displayed when the camera is no
longer functional after the system has continu­
ously failed to detect the lane markings. This can
have the following causes:
-The outside of the camera window
^page

Fig. 115 is dirty or frosted. Remove dirt or ice
from this area of the windscreen.
- The inside of the camera window is misted up.
In this case, wait for the camera window to de­
mist before switching on the active lane assist
system again.

been able to detect the lane markings for a
long period. Do not switch the active Lane assist
system on again before the lane markings are
discernible.

Emergency assist
Applies to: vehicles with emergency assist
The emergency assist takes over controL of the
vehicle in certain situations and can help to pre­
vent accidents. It is an extension of the active
lane assist and can use the functions of the adap­
tive cruise control system
<=>^.
The emergency
assist is activated when it detects that the driver
has stopped steering the vehicle.
Functions of the emergency assist
The emergency assist monitors the steering ac­
tivity of the driver. It detects if the driver is inac­
tive and gives repeated visual and audible warn­
ings as well as brake jolts prompting the driver to
take proactive control of the vehicle again. The
hazard warning lights are also switched on when
the first sharp brake jolt is given below
a
speed of
80
km/h15.

If the driver does not take over, the system inter­
venes by steering the vehicle (within the limita­
tions of the system) to keep it in lane, and by ap­
plying the brakes until the vehicle has stopped*.
In addition, the warning lamp || and a message
are displayed.
Requirements for using the emergency assist
- The active lane assist must be switched on and
ready to warn

The side assist function
(lane
change assist fea­
ture) assists the driver in monitoring following
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.
117.
If it judges a lane change to be critical, the warn­
ing Lamp (5) on the exterior mirror lights up

^Fig.
118.
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

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.

- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
quickly, or if
you
are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up
intime.

- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy

rain,
snow or road spray.
- If
you
are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system
may not detect vehicles in the adjacent
lane because they are outside the area
covered by the sensors.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by
a
qualified workshop.
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
Switching on/off
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist

tomatically according to the ambient Light Level.
If
you
are in very dark
or
very Light surroundings
when you adjust the brightness of the warning

lamp,
the automatic brightness control may al­
ready have reached the lowest or the brightest

setting.
In such a case it is possible
that
you
won't notice a difference while you are adjusting
the brightness or that you will only notice it once
the light surroundings have changed.
Please adjust the brightness of the warning lamp
for the information mode so that it does not dis­
tract you while you are looking at the road in
front. When you change the brightness, the
warning lamp on the exterior mirror will light up
briefly with the intensity set for the information

mode.

mode is Linked to the intensity in the information
mode and is adjusted automatically.
