2021 AUDI Q2 Message

Driver assist systems
provided tempt you into taking any risks when
driving - this can cause accidents.
- Please note that pre sense front can give
warnings or apply the brakes unexpectedly.
Always secure your luggage to prevent dam­
age and possible injury.
- Due to inherent system limitations, false ac­
tivation of the system is possible.
- Please note that the sensor is not always
able to detect all objects which may repre­
sent a potential hazard - risk of accident!
- Pre sense front does not react to the follow­

ing:
oncoming traffic in the same lane, sta­
tionary or stopped persons, pedestrians
crossing the road at an angle, groups of
people, animals, or objects that are hard to

recognise •=>
A in General notes on
page 112.
A WARNING
The pre sense front functions may be restric­
ted or unavailable in situations such as the

following:

- If objects such as crash barriers or other
vehicles are reflecting additional light.
- At tunnel entrances.
- In heavy fog,
rain,
road spray or snow.
- If the radar sensor is dirty, frosted, dam­
aged or covered.
- When driving through a corner.
-Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: If the
ESC system has been partially or fully deac­

tivated.

© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensor. This can impair the function of
the pre sense front system. Have the systems
checked by a
quaLified
workshop.
© Note
-The automatic brake application with in­
creasing brake force can be cancelled by ap­
plying the brakes yourself or by pressing the
accelerator firmly or by taking evasive ac­

tion.

- Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: Cer­
tain pre sense front functions are deactiva­
ted when the ESC
offroad
mode is switched
on and when reversing.
- Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: The
pre sense is deactivated if you restrict or
switch off the ESC

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

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.
- 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.

Audi active lane assist: currently unavailable
A temporary fault is preventing the active lane
assist system from functioning. Try switching on
the active lane assist system again later.

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
