Lights and vision
A WARNING
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a
larger field of
vision.
However, they make ob­
jects look smaller and further away than they
really are. If
you
use these mirrors to
esti­

mate the distance to vehicles behind you
when changing Lane, you could misjudge the
distance. Risk of accident!
CAUTION
- Applies to vehicles with electrically retracta­
ble exterior mirrors: If one of the mirror
housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), the mirrors must be fully re­
tracted with the electric control. You will
hear
a
loud noise when the mirrors snap
back into place. Do not readjust the mirror
housing by hand, as this will interfere with
the mirror adjuster function.
- Applies to vehicles without electrically re­
tractable exterior mirrors: If one of the mir­
ror housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), it must be returned to its
proper position by hand.
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent them from being

damaged.
Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors* must NOT be folded in or out by

hand.
Always use the electrical power
con­

trol.

©
If the electrical adjustment should fail to op­

erate,
both of the mirrors can be adjusted by
hand by Lightly pressing the edge of the mir­
ror glass.
Anti-dazzle setting
Your vehicle is equipped with a manual or auto­
matic* anti-dazzle interior
mirror.

Manual anti-dazzle interior mirror
•
Pull
the lever
at
the bottom of the mirror to­
wards you.
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors*
• The interior and exterior mirrors will darken
when bright light (e.g. from the headlights of
a

following vehicle) shines on the surface of the
interior mirror.

A
WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
Electrolyte fluid can leak from a broken mir­
ror. This fluid can cause irritation to the
skin,

eyes,
and respiratory organs. Wash thorough­
ly with clean water should you come into
con­

tact with this
fluid.
Seek medical assistance if

needed.

© CAUTION
Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
Electrolyte fluid can
leak
from a broken mir­
ror. This fluid can damage plastic surfaces.
Use a wet sponge or similar to remove the
flu­

id as soon as possible.

(T) Note

Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
-The automatic anti-dazzle mirrors may not
function as intended if the light falling on
the surface of the interior mirror is obstruc­

ted.

-The automatic anti-dazzle mirrors do not
darken if the interior lighting is on
or
the car
is in reverse gear.

Towing a trailer
- Never disengage the ball joint with the cara­
van / trailer still hitched or with a bicycle
rack or similar accessory still attached.
- It is advisable to remove the ball joint when
you are not towing a trailer. Check whether
the plug is properly inserted in the mount­
ing fixture and that the bumper cover is fit­

ted.

-The
ball
joint must be removed if
you
intend
to clean the car with a steam cleaning at­
tachment. Check whether the plug is prop­
erly inserted in the mounting fixture and
that the bumper cover is fitted.
- For installation and removal of the ball joint
we recommend using the gloves provided

for
this purpose.

The spring mechanism inside the ball joint
must be in the "ready" position.

•
Check
that
the red marking (5)
^>Fig.
86 on the
knob is inside the green zone on the
ball
joint.

•
Check that the locking ball
(Î)
is inside the hole
in the shaft section of the
ball
joint.

•
Check that the knob protrudes visibly from the
ball joint, so that there is a clear gap (?) be­
tween the knob and the
ball
joint.
The
ball
joint can only be installed if the internal
spring mechanism is in the ready position.

- In certain circumstances, for instance if
visi­

bility is poor, the setting for the steering in­
put may temporarily be switched from "ear­

ly"
to "late"
«.

- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer­
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in
diffi­

cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,

fog,
loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
snow,
etc.) - risk of accident!

The active lane

demarcation.
In addition,
the steering

The active Lane
assist is
switched on

The system may be switched on but not ready to
warn due to the following reasons:
- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant lane
markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the lane assist system is activa­
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The traffic lane is too narrow or too wide.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering

wheel.

- Make sure that the camera window

General notes
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist

•IB

Fig.
119 Driving situations

Fig.
120 Rear of
vehicle:
Location of the sensors
The side assist is active above a speed of
about 15 km/h.

Vehicles approaching from behind
In certain cases, a vehicle
is
judged to be critical
in the event of
a
lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap­
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on
the exterior mirror.
(2) Vehicles moving at a similar speed
The warning lamp in the relevant exterior mirror
will warn you of vehicles that are moving with the
flow of traffic at about the same speed as you if
they are judged to be critical in the event of
a

lane change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".

(§)
Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of Less than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp in the exterior mirror
will light up as soon as the other vehicle enters
your blind spot.
If
you
are overtaking another vehicle quickly,
with a speed differential of more than about
15 km/h, the warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of
a
lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow Lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the

lane.
In this case the system may monitor an­
other lane and register a vehicle that is nor in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as­
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors
^>Fig.
120 must not be ob­
structed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any
other substances which could impair the function
of the system. The side assist must not be used
when towing a trailer. For notes on cleaning,
please refer to
^>page
312.
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not
a
substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi­
ble for the safety of Lane changes and other
manoeuvres.
