lane guidance is not active. This may be due to
the following reasons:
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been
detected (for example, in a construction zone
or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip.
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.

@ Tips
— Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
— It is recommended to only switch on lane
guidance on well-constructed roads.
— Specific settings are stored automatically in
the active personal profile.

Setting the distance
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist

B4M-0234


Fig. 113 Operating lever: setting the distance
If you adjust the speed, you must also change the
time gap to the vehicle driving ahead. The higher
the speed, the greater the distance that is need-
ed.
> Tap the rocker switch to display the distance
that is currently set.
> To increase or decrease the distance in incre-
ments, tap the switch again toward (4) or @).
The newly set distance is shown briefly, for exam-
ple with the indicator light. In the Driver as-
sistance display, a graphic display is shown in-
stead of the indicator lights > page 140,
fig. 109. The display matches the functions of
the indicator lights.

When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the
adaptive cruise assist brakes to the set speed and
then maintains the set distance. If the vehicle
driving ahead accelerates, then the adaptive
cruise assist will also accelerate up to the speed
that you have set.
The following distances can be set:

Meaning

The time between is approximately 1
second. This setting corresponds to a
distance of approximately 92 feet (28
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100
km/h).
The time between is approximately 1.3
seconds. This setting corresponds toa
distance of approximately 118 feet (36
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100
km/h).
The time between is approximately 1.8
seconds. This setting meets the general
recommendation of “half the speed
shown on the speedometer”. This cor-
responds to a distance of approximate-
ly 164 feet (SO m) when traveling at
62 mph (100 km/h).

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Within the limits of the system, the Audi pre
sense functions can initiate measures in certain
driving situations to protect the vehicle occu-
pants and other road users. Depending on the ve-
hicle equipment, various Audi pre sense systems
may
be installed:
— Audi pre sense basic can react during emergen-
cy and dangerous braking maneuvers and un-
stable driving situations (such as oversteering
or understeering).
— Audi pre sense front!) can detect an impending
frontal impact and react with warnings, braking
interventions, and preemptive safety measures
for the vehicle occupants.
— Audi pre sense rear monitors the rear traffic
behind your vehicle and can react to an impend-
ing rear impact.
— Audi pre sense side can detect an impending
side impact from cross-traffic and vehicles com-
ing from the side, and can initiate preemptive
safety measures.
— The swerve assist can assist you during a
swerving maneuver if it is detected as critical
based on the steering movements.
— The turn assist can detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane and react with braking maneuvers.

tected and the selected Audi drive select*
mode, not all preemptive safety measures
may be initiated under certain circumstan-
ces. Certain functions can be adjusted or
skipped if necessary.
— Audi pre sense may be restricted or unavail-
able under certain circumstances, for exam-
ple if:

General information
The intersection assistant can warn the driver of
approaching cross traffic in complex intersections
> fig. 123.
The system monitors intersections and exit
ramps using the sensors installed in the vehicle
that detect the front and side areas around the
vehicle. Moving objects that are approaching
from behind, such as cars, are detected within
the limits of the system > A\. The system can al-
so warn the driver of a potential collision with de-
tected approaching cross traffic in intersections
and exit ramps with poor visibility.
Requirements for using the intersection
assistant:
— The intersection assistant must be switched on
in the MMI = page 126.
— The speed must not be higher than approxi-
mately 18 mph (30 km/h).
— The “D” gear is selected.
Displays, warnings, and braking
— Display: the red arrow (@) can indicate the direc-
tion from which the cross traffic is approaching.
The indicator in the upper display only appears
when the parking aid is activated. For vehicles
with peripheral cameras only in the Front and
Corner view (front) camera views. The display
only appears in the instrument cluster
=> fig. 124 when the Driver assistance display is
open in the on-board computer > page 14.
— Warnings: the message Cross traffic! © can
warn you of critical cross traffic when driving
forward. There may also be an audible signal.
— Automatic brake activation: if you do not react
to a warning, a brief braking by the system can
warn you of a potential collision with an ap-
proaching object when driving forward at
speeds up to approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

® Note
Keep enough distance from the curb to avoid
damage to the rims.
G) Tips
—The side area * > page 124, fig. 96 is de-
tected and evaluated when passing. There
may have been changes to the surrounding
area after switching the ignition off and on
again, after opening the doors, or if the ve-
hicle is left stationary for a period of time.
In this case, the area will appear black until
the area has been detected and evaluated.
— If the distance to an obstacle remains con-
stant, the volume of the distance warning
gradually lowers after a few seconds until it
is muted (this does not apply to the continu-
ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than
it was before the sound was muted, the
tone will sound again. If the obstacle be-
comes farther away than it was before the
sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay
attention to the vehicle&#39;s surroundings
when you start to drive.
— 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 switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
