Side assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
al 3 3 q
e|


Fig. 127 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
156
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 150, 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 128,
fig. 109. 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
— Curves
— High barriers on the side of the road

Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126. >

low speed. For the best parking results, the ve-
hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from
the row of parking spaces.
> The parking space search is first done on the
side of your lane. To switch the side for the
parking space search, activate the turn signal
for that side. Depending on vehicle equipment,
you may also be able to press on the side next
to your vehicle in the center display.
Selecting the parking space
If the system finds a parking space that could be
suitable for the vehicle length and width, it will
be displayed. The system automatically suggests
a parking option @.
If the parking space allows different parking op-
tions, they can be selected manually. Press one of
the suggested parking options (@ in the center
display.
Starting the parking process
As soon as the vehicle has reached the correct po-
sition, a P will appear in the center display above
the selected parking space @). The roof in the
parking aid display @) may show the required
braking or driving direction.
> Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.
>» Make sure that the parking space is suitable for
your vehicle >@).
> Start the assisted parking process > page 168.
Maneuvering area
The vehicle can go off course during the parking
process > A\. If there are obstacles within the
maneuvering area that block or endanger the
parking process, for example on the opposite
side of the street, a message may appear. You
may need to drive farther forward and stay closer
to the row of parking spaces.

Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
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
— Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.
