Audi active lane assist Lane assist
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane marker lines with
i n the l imits of the system using a camera in the
windshie ld. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Act ive lane assist
is operable when the lane marker line is detected
on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on freeways
and expanded highways and thus works only at
speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more .
Applies to vehicles with side assist* : If you acti
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approaching you, there w ill be not iceable correct ive steer
i ng short ly before you leave the lane. This will at
tempt to keep your veh icle in the lane.
Appl ies to vehicles w ithout s ide ass ist*: the sys
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signa l before crossing the lane marker
line. In this case, it ass umes that you are chang
ing lanes intentionally.
Applies to vehicles w ith adapt ive cruise control*
or pa rking aid*: The corrective steering is ta rget
ed based on the driving situation . In add ition to
the lane marker lines, the system can also take
into account other objects such as guard rails. If
they are detected in close proximity to the vehi
cle, active lane assist helps prevent the vehicle
from driving too close to them. There is also passing assistance . The system does not provide
any correct ive steer ing if it detects that you are
passing another vehicle .
Audi act ive lane ass ist
A WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective 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 stee ring
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as du ring heavy b raking.
- There may be cases whe re the camera does
not recognize all la n e mar ker lines. Cor rec
tive steering can only take place on the s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Othe r road structures or objects could poss i
b ly be identified un inten tionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be rest ricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. Th is can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de
tect ing them incorrectly.
- Under certain condit ions such as ruts in the
road, a banked roadway or crosswinds, the
correct ive steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, act ive lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the potential fo r hydrop laning. Using active lane
assis t under these condit ions may i ncrease
the risk of a crash .

Audi side assist
-Improper reliance on the side assist system
can cause collisions and serious personal in
jury:
- Never rely only on side assist when chang
ing lanes.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make
sure that it is safe to change lanes.
- Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under
all conditions- danger of accident!
- Please note that side assist indicates there
are approaching vehicles, or vehicles in your blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 19 mph
(30 km/h).
- In certain situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:
- if vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly . The display may not
turn on in time .
- 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 outside of the sensor
range.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody . This can affect the system . Have
your authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility check their function.
(D 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 misin

Driving settings
Introduction
Drive select makes it possible to experience d if
ferent types of vehicle settings in one vehicle.
The driver can select
Comfort, Auto and Dynami c
modes in the Infotainment system to switch be
tween a sporty and a comfortable driving mode.
In the
Individual mode, the settings can be ad
justed to your personal preferences. This makes it possible to combine settings such as a sporty
engine tuning with light steering.
A WARNING
-
Improper use of the Audi dr ive select can
cause collisions, other accidents and serious
personal injury.
Description
The follow ing systems are affected by drive se
lect:
Engine and transmission
Depending on the mode, the eng ine and the
transmission respond quicker or in a more bal
anced manner to acce lerator pedal movements.
I n the sporty dynamic mode, the transmission
shifts at h igher RPMs.
Air suspension*
The adaptive air suspension/adaptive air suspen
sion sport*
(Air suspension in the MMI) is an
e lectronically controlled air suspens ion and
damping system. They are adjusted depend ing
on the selected dr iv in g mode, the driver's steer
ing, braking and acceleration input and the road
surface, vehicle speed and load. A sporty setting
is generally used in vehicles with adaptive air sus
pension sport*.
The vehicle clearance varies depending on these
lected mode and the speed.
The highway setting is activated automatically
when yo u drive above 75 mph (120 km/h) for
mo re than 30 seconds in the
Auto or Dynamic
100
mode. The ground clea rance is increased auto
matically if the speed drops below 44 mph (70
km/h) for more than 120 seconds.
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering effort
and steering ratios. Indirect stee ring that moves
easily, like the steering in comfort mode, is best
suited to long drives on a highway. In contrast,
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
steering effort for the driver at a ll times . This
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to provide improved vehicle con
trol. At reduced speeds, however, steering is
more direct in order to keep the steering effort as
min imal as possible when the dr iver is maneuver
i ng the vehicle. At low and average speeds, dy
namic steering additionally provides more re
sponsive steering performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all wheel dr ive system
(quattro)
c::;> poge 191, the Sport differentia l*
distributes the d riving powe r to the rear axle de
pending on the situation . T he distr ibutio n of
power varies depending on the selected mode,
from ba lanced (comfort) to agile (dynamic). The
goal is a high level of agility and ability to accel
erate on curves. The vehicle is very responsive to
steering.
Curve light*
The curve light adapts to driving on curves. The
pivoting action and the lighting are also adapted
to the mode.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behav ior 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 . .,..
