Audi pre sense city
' Description
App lies to : vehicles wit h Audi pre sense city
Within the limits of the system, pre sense city
can warn you of impending collisions with
vehicles and pedestrians and initiate the applica­
ble braking maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at a speed of 6 mph (9 km/h) and higher.
A pedestrian warning can occur at speeds up to 50 mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warnings can oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h). A pre
sense city braking maneuver is possible at speeds
up to 50 mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
App lies to: vehicles wit h Aud i pre sense city
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions. The
early warning occurs when:
- a vehicle driving ahead brakes sudden ly,
- your own vehicle approaches a sign ificantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
- a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving
into the lane.
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­
ble to avo id a collision by swerving or braking
strongly. The message
Audi pre sense.
~ page 108, fig. 104 and a warning tone will
warn you about the danger.
Additionally, a jerk on the brakes may occur as an
acute warning when there is an impend ing colli­
sion . If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense city can brake to the point of complete de­
ce leration within the limits of the system. This
reduces the vehicle speed in the event of a colli­
sion. The message

pears.
The following functions are triggered in conjunc­

A WARNING -,..___
-Pre sense city cannot overcome the laws of
physics. It is a system designed to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
stance. The driver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsible for braking at the correct time . Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks.
This could increase your risk of a collision .
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, please
note that the camera does not always detect
every object .
- Pre sense city does not react to animals,
crossing or oncoming vehicles, objects such
as bars, railings or railcars, and objects that
are difficult to detect~&.
in General infor­
mation on page 97.
A WARNING
Pre sense city may be restricted or not availa­
ble in the following example situations:
- in heavy fog, rain, spray or snow.
- when there are visual obstructions, such as
glare, reflections or var iations in light.
- when it is dark .
- if the camera window or the windshield is
dirty, iced over, damaged or covered .
- when driving on snow, ice or loose ground .
- on sharp curves.
- if the ESC was restricted or switched off .
- when towing a trailer.
- when the driver's seat belt is unfastened.
- up to ten seconds after sw itching on the ig-
nition.

Assist
(D Note
Impacts or damage to the camera mount on
the windshield can displace the sensor . Pre
sense city can be impaired by this. Have an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Serv­
ice Facility check their function .
(i) Tips
-You can cancel the system braking interven­
tion if you accelerate considerably or swerve
away .
- Keep in mind that pre sense city can brake
unexpectedly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transporting to reduce
the risk of damage or injury.
- When there is a malfunction in the camera,
the pre sense city functions also switch off.

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: veh icles w ith Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist (lane departure warning) de­
tects lane ma rker lines withi n the l imits of the
system using a camera in the windshield. If you
are approaching a detected lane marker line and it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system will warn you w ith corrective stee ring .
You can override this steering at any time . If you
112
pass over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate
lightly. In order for this warning vibration to oc­
cur, it must first be switched on in the Infotain­
ment system. Active lane ass ist is ready for oper­
a tion when the lane marker line is detected on at
least one side of the vehicle .
T he system is des igned for driving on express­
ways and highways and therefore on ly activates
a t speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h) .
Applies to vehicles with s ide ass ist*: if you acti­
vate a turn signa l when active lane assist is ready
a nd it classifies a lane change as critical bec ause
of veh icles traveling a longside you or approach ­
i ng you, there will be noticeable corrective steer­
i ng shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist* : the sys ­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you act ivate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker
lin e. In this case, it assumes that you are chang­
in g lanes intent ionally.
Applies to vehicles with adaptive cruise contro l*:
there is no corrective steer ing or warnings if the
system recognizes a distinct passing maneuver.
If the conditions are met, congestion assist
switches on at speeds under approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
¢page 104.
_& WARNING
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using correct ive steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.

Ass is t
- Please note that the rear cross-traffic assist
may act ivate the brakes unexpectedly. Se­
cure any cargo that you are transporting to
reduce the risk of damage or injury .
- An additional brake act ivat ion may be tr ig­
gered within 20 seconds after an automat ic
brake activation.
- If there is an acoustic warning signa l from
the rear cross-traff ic assist, then the park­
ing system may not warn you of detected
obstacles under certa in circumstances .
- The view of the radar sensors may be im­ paired by leaves, snow, heavy spray or d irt.
Clean the a rea in front of the sensors
~ page 116, fig . 112.
A WARNING
T he rear cross-t raff ic assist is s ubject to lim i­
t at ions and cannot warn you before every im­
pending collision:
- If the vehicle is too w ide fo r the pa rki ng
spa ce and covered by the ne ighbor ing
vehicles.
- People , such as cyclis ts, jogge rs, in line skat­
ers and pedestrians, may not be detected
under certain circ umstances.
- If you are in a par allel par king sp ace.

Audi connect (Infotainment) services are precon­
figured at the factory and are available to you di­ rectly without restrictions.
A mobile end device can be used to access the In­
ternet through a Wi-Fi hotspot, either when the
vehicle is stationary or from the rear seat when the vehicle is in motion .
A WARNING
- To reduce the risk of an accident, only use
Audi connect (Infota inment) serv ices when
road and traffic conditions permit. Always
read and follow the notes in
Q page 141,
Traffic safety information.
- T o reduce the risk of a n accident, use the

Wi-Fi hotspot on ly in the rear seat when the
vehicle is in motion o r on ly when the vehicle
is stationary .
-It is only safe to use tab lets, laptops, mo­
bile devices and other similar devices when
the vehicle is stationary because, like all
loose objects, they could be thrown around
the ins ide of the vehicle in a crash and cause
serious injur ies. Store these types of devices
securely while driving .
- Do not use any w ireless devices on the front
