S ide assist funct ions at speeds above approxi
mately 19 mph (30 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
tu rn o n.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with yo u 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 t ime they ente r you r "blind
spot" , at the latest .
© Vehicles you are passing
If you s lowly pass a veh icle that s ide ass ist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15
k m/h)), the display in the exte rior m irror turns
o n as soon as t he veh icle enters your b lind spot .
The display w ill not t urn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has de tected (the differ
ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/ h)).
Function al limitat ions
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right ad jacent lanes when the road lanes are
t h e normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
t h e re is no veh icle located in the area tha t is criti
ca l for a lane change . For ex ample :
- If the lanes are na rrow or if your are drivi ng on
the edge of you r lane . If th is is the case, the ..,_

Assist
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 one lane over
from the adjacent lane.
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors <=>
fig. 107 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob
jects, because they will impair the function. Do not use side assist when towing a trailer. For in
formation on cleaning, see <=>
page 231.
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
- In some 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.
- Audi side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all conditions, which can increase the
risk of accidents.
- Please note that side assist only displays ap proaching vehicles or vehicles in your blind
spot if your vehicle is traveling at least
19 mph (30 km/h).
- In certain situations, the system may not
work or its function may be limited. For ex
ample:
- The display may not turn on at the right
time if veh ides are approaching or passing
very quickly.
100
-
-In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or fog.
- In very wide lanes, in tight curves or when
there are slopes in the roadway, vehicles
in the neighboring lanes may not be de
tected because they a re 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 impair the system. Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function .
@ 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 incor
rect.

);
Fig. 126 Locatio n of peripheral came ras
The peripheral cameras are located in the radia
tor grille, in the luggage compartment lid and on
both exterior mirrors
r::!;> fig . 126.
Make sure that the lenses are not covered by de
posits or any other obstructions as it may impair
the system . For information on cleaning, refer to
¢page 231.
In the Surrounding mode, black corners are
shown in the vehicle silhouette. Objects in these
areas are outside of the camera's field of view

mode is activated ¢ page 104.
.&_ WARNING
-
-Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings¢ .&.
in General information on
page 108.
- If the position or the installation angle of a
camera was changed, for example after a
collision, do not continue to use the system
for safety reasons . Have it checked by an au
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility .
- Keep in mind that the image in the display is
distorted if the exterior mirror housing has
been moved out of place.
