Q
Audi pre sense: currently restricted. See
owner's manual
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
If
you
operate the turn signals while the active
lane assist and side assist are active, the steering
will be corrected just before you cross the lane
demarcation if the side assist detects vehicles ap­
proaching quickly or travelling at about the same
speed as your own vehicle and judges the situa­
tion to be critical. This intervention is intended to
keep the vehicle in the Lane.
Applies to: vehicles without Audi side assist
The system does not warn you if
you
operate the
turn signal before crossing a Lane marking. In
this case, it assumes that you intend to change

lanes.

Applies to: vehicles with traffic jam assist
The traffic jam assist can be activated at speeds
below approximately 65 km/h if the correspond­
ing conditions have been met

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
The active lane assist (lane departure warning
feature) uses a camera in the windscreen to de­
tect lane markings (subject to general system
limitations). If
you
approach one of the detected
lane markings, the system corrects the steering
to warn you that the vehicle might be about to
cross one of the markings. You can override this
steering input at any time. The steering wheel vi­
brates slightly if
you
cross a lane marking. The vi­
bration warning must be activated beforehand on
the infotainment system. The active lane assist is
functional when it detects a demarcation line on
at least one side of the lane in which you are driv­

ing.

As the system is designed for driving on motor­
ways and other major roads, it is only active

§
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif-

£
ferent export markets).

A WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in­
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you
are always responsible for staying in your
own lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the
vehi­

cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands
off the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak­

ing,
the system may not correct the steer­

ing.

- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be
initi­

ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front,
rain,

snow, a lot of water on the
road,
adverse
light
or
dirt on the windscreen. If this hap­

pens,
the active lane assist may not detect
