ual intervention may be necessary:
- Hazardous weather conditions such as fog,
heavy rain and snow or water splashes
- Roads on which oncoming traffic is partially
concealed (e.g. on motorways)
- Indiscernible road users (e.g. cyclists with
poor lighting)
- Tight corners, steep hill crests or valleys
- Poorly lit towns
- Highly reflective objects, such as road signs
-Windscreen misted up, dirty, frosted or cov
ered by stickers in front of the sensor

Rest recommendation
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rest recommendation
Under certain conditions, the system can detect
that the driver needs to take a break.
At the beginning of a trip, the system monitors
the driver's general steering style. Using this as a
reference, the system continuously compares the
current steering input at speeds of between 60
km/h and 200 km/h. If the evaluation of the
steering input implies a lapse in the driver's
con
centration,
the system will then recommend a
break
^>page
111,
Instrument cluster display.
The rest recommendation function is designed
for journeys on motorways and major roads.
System limitations
The rest recommendation function may misinter
pret the steering input in certain driving situa
tions,
such as the following:
- On twisty roads.
- On rough roads.
- In poor weather.
- During performance driving.
- When the driver's attention is distracted.
Resetting the system
The system is automatically reset if
you...
- switch off the ignition.
- release the driver's seat belt and open the driv
er's door.
- drive slower than 60 km/h for a while. If you
subsequently increase your speed again, the
system will reevaluate the driving style.

WARNING
- Never drive when you are
tired.
As a driver
you are always responsible for ensuring that
you
are
fit to drive.
- On
Long
journeys, make sure to take
quate breaks at regular intervals.
ade-
- The system cannot always tell if
you
need a
break.

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

this case, it assumes that you intend to change
lanes.

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).

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
