Fig. 127 Sensor detection range
Fig . 128 D isplay on the exterior mirror
Side assist (lane change ass ist) helps you mon itor
your blind spot and traffic behind yo ur vehicle.
Within the limits of the system, i t warns you
about veh icles that are coming closer or that are
traveling with you within sensor range
(D
¢ fig. 12 7. If a lane change is classified as criti­
ca l, the display @in the exterior mirror turns on
¢fig. 128.
The display in the left exterior mirror provides as­
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the display in the right exterior mirror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right.
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
side assist
informs yo u about vehicles that are

detected and classified as crit ical. The display in
the mirror turns on, but is dim .
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur­
bed.
Warning stage If the d isplay in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as
critical. If this happens, check traffic by gla nc ing
in the exterior m irrors and over your shoulder
c::> .&. in General information on page 130 .
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist : the
d isplay i n the mirror can also blink if you have not
act ivated a turn signal: if you are app roaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will
be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it ha s classified as
critical.

S id e assist functions at speeds above approxi­
mately 9 mph (15 km/h).
@ Vehicles that are approaching
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some ­
what far away . The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the exterior m irror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indicated in the
exter ior mirror if they are classified as cr itical for
a lane change . A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are ind icated by the time they enter your "blind
spot" , at the latest .
© Vehicles you are passing
If you s lowly pass a veh icle that s ide assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than approximate­
ly 9 mph ( 15 km/h)) , the disp lay in the exter ior
mirror turns on as soon as the vehicle en ters your
blind spot.
The display w ill not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ­
ence in speed is greater than approximately 9
mph (15 km/h)) .
Functional limitations
T he radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example :
..,.
129

Ass is tan ce sys tems
-If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is
not adjacent to your current lane.
-If you are driving through a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane.
-If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).
- In poor weather condit ions . The side assist
funct ions are limited.
Do not cover the radar
sensors ¢ fig. 130 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob­
jects, because this will impair the function. Do
not use side assist when towing a trailer. For in­
formation on cleaning,
see¢ page 354 .
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention . The driver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar d riving maneuvers.
-In some situat ions, the system may not
function or its funct ion may be limited. For
example :
-If vehicles are approach ing or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in t ime .
-In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
-On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles in the adjacent lane may not be detected because they are outs ide of the sensor
range .
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. Th is can impa ir the system. Have
an authorized A udi dealer or authorized Audi
Serv ice Facility check their function .
(i) Tips
-If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the

Assistance systems
Description
Applies to: vehicl es w ith Aud i drive select
The follow ing systems, among other things, are
influenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission*
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
mat ic transmission* respond more quickly or in a
mo re balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements . In the sporty
Dynamic mode , the
transmission shifts at highe r speed ranges.
Suspension control*
The suspension control* uses sensors to record
information regard ing steering movements ,
braking and acceleration operations by the driv­
er , road surface, driving speed, and load. This
makes it possible to adapt damping to the driv­
ing situation nearly in rea l time. With drive se ­
lect, you can adjust the suspension control to
sporty
( Dynamic ), comfortab le ( Comfort ) or bal­
anced
( Auto ).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indi rect s teer ing that
moves easily as in
Comfort mode is especia lly
suited to long drives on highways . The
Dynamic
mode provides sporty , direct steering.
The following applies to vehicles with dynamic
steering* : the steering ratio changes based on
vehicle speed in order to maintain optimum
steer ing effort for the driver at all times . This
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to prov ide improved vehicle con­
trol. At reduced speeds, steering is more direct in
order to keep the steering effort as min imal as
possible when the driver is maneuvering the vehi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steer­
ing* additionally provides more responsive steer­
ing performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all wheel drive system
(quattro)
~ page 1 SO, the sport differential dis­
tributes the driving power to the rear axle de­
pending on the situation. The distribution of
power varies depending on the selected mode
134
from moderate (Comfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goal is a high level of agility and ability to ac­
ce lerate on curves . The vehicle is very respons ive
to steering.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driving behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty.
@ Tips
The S selector lever position automatically en­
gages when the
Dynamic mode is selected .
Selecting the driving mode
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive se lect

tem p lus/rearv iew camera/peripheral ca meras
Depending on your vehicle's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢ page 137.
The
parking system plus assists you when park ­
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the veh icle
¢ page 137.
The
rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display . The
lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or
maneuver ¢ page 138. The parking sys­
tem plus functions are also available
¢ page 137.
The
peripheral cameras give various views to
help you when parking or maneuvering
¢ page 140. The parking system plus functions
are also available
¢page 137.
A WARNING ,..__ -
- Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park­
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces , such as
clothing, are not detected by the system .
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect­
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals .
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur ­
roundings, using the rearview mirror as
well.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The park­ ing system may be impa ired as a result.
136
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion.
(D Note
- Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- objects above the sensors such as wall ex ­
tensions
- objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low ob­
ject, it may disappear from the sensor
range. Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to re ­
duce the risk of damage to the rims.
{i) Tips
- The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover ­
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
- external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
-in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex­
haust
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be­
come familiar with the system . When doing
this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals
and the display ¢
page 143.
- Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 144.
- What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
- Th e sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate .
- Th e rearv iew camera is automatically
cleaned when cleaning the rear window*
