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 •

General notes on
page 112. Never use the traffic jam assist in
the following situations - risk of accident!
- On off-road terrain or unsealed roads.
- In city traffic or roadwork areas.
-On twisty roads.
- In narrow traffic lanes.
- In unpredictable traffic situations, e.g. at
intersections or toll gates.

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

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!

The system may be switched on but not ready to

- 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.

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
124,
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.
- Due to the road conditions, the system has not
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
