Side assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
a 3 S N q @



Fig. 131 Driving situations and exterior mirror display
General information
Side assist monitors the blind spot and traffic be-
hind your vehicle and provides assistance when
you are changing lanes. If the system detects an
object approaching and classifies it as critical, the
display @ in the exterior mirror on that side of
the vehicle will turn on,
Driving situations
The side assist warning is active at speeds above
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) and can help in
situations such as the following:
@ Your vehicle is being passed. The faster an-
other vehicle approaches from behind, the
sooner the display in the outside mirror will
turn on.
@® There are vehicles traveling in the same direc-
tion as you in a lane adjacent to yours. The
display in the exterior mirror will turn on
when the detected object is in the “blind
spot”, at the latest.
@ You are slowly passing another vehicle. If the
difference in speed between the two vehicles
is less than 9 mph (15 km/h), the display in
the exterior mirror will turn on.
Information stage
If you do not activate a turn signal, the system
will inform you about objects classified as critical
by turning on the display in the respective exteri-
or mirror. The display remains dim in the infor-
mation stage so that you are not distracted while
looking forward.
Warning stage
Once you activate a turn signal, the system will
inform you about objects classified as critical by
turning on the display in the respective exterior
mirror.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the display
may also provide a warning when the turn signal
is not activated: if driver assist systems detect
that your vehicle is about to leave a lane, the dis-
play will blink to warn you about objects classi-
fied as critical. You can also be warned with cor-
rective steering > page 165, Audi active lane as-
sist/lane departure warning.
System limitations
The system uses the data from the radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle > page 143,
fig. 113. They are designed to detect the left and
right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are the
normal width. In some situations, the system
may react to vehicles in your own lane or lanes
that are not directly adjacent to yours, or to ob-
jects on the side of the road. In this case, the dis-
play will turn on even though there is no vehicle
in the critical area. These situations may include:
— Driving on the edge of your own lane
— Narrow lanes

Driver assistance

— Curves
— High barriers on the side of the road

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras © page 141.
— The display may not appear on time when
vehicles are approaching or being passed

very quickly.

@) Tips
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
rect.
— The system is not available when towing a
trailer. There is no guarantee the system
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch. Do not use these functions when
towing a trailer.
— The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
=> page 311.
Adjusting side assist
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
You can adjust the side assist to your preferences.
The settings depend on the vehicle equipment.
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Driver assistance > Side assist.
Possible settings:
The system can be switched on and off. If the sys-
tem is switched on, the displays in the exterior
mirrors will turn on briefly each time the ignition
is switched on.
Brightness - Change the brightness only when
side assist is switched on, so that the selected
setting can be checked in the exterior mirror dis-
plays. Adjust the brightness to a level where the
display will not interfere with your view ahead.
Because the display brightness automatically
adapts to the ambient light, it may have already
been adjusted to the highest or lowest setting
during the automatic adaptation.

indicates the expected path toward the trailer
hitch. Use the blue markings ©) to help you esti-
mate the distance to the trailer hitch. Each mark-
ing represents approximately 1 foot (0.30 me-
ters). The width of the blue surface represents
the maximum steering wheel angle.
Symbols
Applies to: vehicles with peripheral cameras

represented by that symbol is not available, then
the camera on the that side is not available. The
power exterior mirrors may have been folded in
or a door or the luggage compartment lid may
have been opened.
If # is displayed, there is a system malfunction
and the display area represented by that symbol
is not available. The camera is not working in this
area.
If one of the symbols continues to be displayed,
drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer or
178
authorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal-

the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

@) Note
— The orange orientation lines @ show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
G) Tips
— Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces on the camera display decreases
when the vehicle is raised or lowered with
the air suspension.
— There is no distance warning for the rear
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is
detected. The front sensors remain activat-
ed. The visual display switches to trailer
mode. There is no guarantee the functions
will be deactivated when using a retrofitted
trailer hitch.
