ready to provide warnings after a short time, and
it will only become active again later.
If the driver does not take over steering, the lane
departure warning will no longer be ready to pro-
vide warnings. If the vehicle is equipped with
emergency assist and it is ready to function, it
will be activated > page 158.
Behavior when a turn signal is active
Applies to: vehicles with side assist: The system
will not warn you if you activate a turn signal be-
fore crossing the lane marker line. In this case, it
assumes that you are changing lanes intentional-
ly.
Applies to: vehicles with side assist: If the turn
signal is activated, the lane departure warning is
ready, and a lane change has been classified as
critical by the lane departure warning due to
vehicles traveling beside you or due to approach-
ing vehicles, then a noticeable corrective steering
movement will occur shortly before exiting the
lane. This will attempt to keep your vehicle in the
lane.
ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.
— 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.
— Corrective steering may not occur at all in
certain situations, such as during heavy
braking. Always be ready to intervene.
@ Tips
— Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so you can be ready to steer at any
time. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.

— The system does not provide any corrective
steering or steering wheel vibrations if it de-
tects that you are passing another vehicle.

Applies to: vehicles with turn assist
When turning left, turn assist can help to reduce
the risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle by
using braking action to keep your vehicle in its
lane. The function is only available when the turn
signal is turned on and at speeds up to maximum
of 6 mph (10 km/h).
@) Tips
The Audi pre sense side functions may also
switch off if there is a malfunction in the in-
tersection assistant*.
Swerve assist
Applies to: vehicles with swerve assist
The swerve assist can help you to steer the vehi-
cle around an obstacle detected in a critical area.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then swerve assist assists you by specifically
braking individual wheels and applying slight
steering adjustment to correct the steering
wheel angle as long as you are actively steering.
The swerve assist is available at speeds between
approximately 30 mph and 90 mph (50 km/h -
150 km/h).
Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.

trians, animals, crossing objects, and ob-
jects not detected as vehicles.
@) Tips

Parking and maneuvering
Applies to: vehicles with rearview camera/peripheral cameras
Fig. 122 Upper display: aiming at a parking space
When parking with the rearview camera or pe-
ripheral camera, the parking system plus audio
and visual warnings* will also assist you
=> page 161.
Visual orientation lines
@ The orange orientation lines show the vehi-
cle's direction of travel >@. Turn the steer-
ing wheel until the orange orientation lines
align with the parking space.
@) Use the blue markings to help you estimate
the distance to an obstacle. Each marking
represents approximately 3 feet (1 meter).
The blue area represents an extension of the
vehicle's outline by approximately 16 feet (5
meters) to the rear.
@® You can recognize the rear bumper in the
lower display.
@ You should stop driving in reverse when the
red orientation line touches the edge of an
object, at the latest.
Symbols
If 2/&9/< is displayed and the display area
represented by that symbol is not available, then
the camera on the that side is not available. The
power exterior mirrors may have been folded in
or a door or the luggage compartment lid may
have been opened.
If # is displayed, there is a system malfunction
and the display area represented by that symbol
is not available. The camera is not working in this
area.
164
If Avis displayed, the respective ultrasonic sensor
is icy or dirty. Clean the area in front of the sen-
sors > page 124.
If one of the symbols continues to be displayed,
drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal-
function repaired.
ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.
— 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
— The orange orientation lines @ show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
G) Tips
Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue sur-
faces on the camera display decreases when
the vehicle is raised or lowered with the air
suspension.

— Park assist plus is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist plus to drive into or
out of a parking space, the steering wheel
turns quickly on its own. Reaching into the
steering wheel spokes while this is happen-
ing can result in injury.
— 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

G) Tips
— You can reduce the speed specified by the
system at any time by pressing the brake
pedal.
— The system can incorrectly interpret parking
space barriers (such as parking curbs). Take
over the parking process = page 173 if the
vehicle is not completely inside the parking
space or if the vehicle tries to drive over the
parking space barrier.
— The image in the display is an enlarged and
distorted image. Under certain circumstan-
ces, objects may appear different and un-
clear on the display. This is especially true if
there are objects that do not touch the
ground, such as the bumper of a parked ve-
hicle or the rear of a truck. Drive with spe-
cial care and do not use the image if neces-
sary.
— Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and green
surfaces in the display decreases when the
vehicle is raised or lowered with the air sus-
pension.
