The side assist is active above a speed of
about 15 km/h.

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.

Note
- Not all video DVDs have a child lock feature.
- The child lock safety levels comply with the
US standards of the Motion Picture Associa
tion of America (MPAA). Please note that
age ratings for DVDs may vary between
dif
ferent European countries.
- If
you
enter the wrong child lock password
three times in a row, you will not be able to
enter
a
password for approximately one mi
nute.
The password can only be reset by an
Audi workshop.

Wheels
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!
(7) CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam
age to the tyre valves.
(#) For
the sake of the environment
- Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption.
- Driving with the tyre pressures adjusted to
the comfort setting* may also result in in
creased fuel consumption.
©
We recommend always using the tyre pres
sure setting
(T)
for partial loads and the set
ting
(?) for
full loads.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
A special adapter is required to turn the
anti-
theft wheel bolts*
^
page 321.
Rims
Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim
parts*
consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them
o
A-
A,
WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicLe - risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to
^page
324, After changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself - risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
•
Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
•
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.
•
Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres
•=> A-
Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed
for
your
tyres.
•
After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures
^>page
307.
Winter tyres Lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out - risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
(^)
For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption. •
