pending on the equipment in your vehicle:
- Heating and ventilation system or
- Manual air conditioner* or
- Automatic air conditioner* (deluxe version)
The heating and ventilation system* heats and
ventilates the vehicle interior. The air condition­
er* additionally cools and dehumidifies the air in­
side the vehicle. It operates most effectively with
the windows and the panorama sun roof* closed.
If the vehicle has been standing in the sun, it may
cool down faster if
you
open the windows briefly
to let the hot air escape.

- Keep the air intake slots in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, ice and Leaves to
ensure unimpaired heating and cooling, and
to prevent the windows misting over.
- Condensation can drip off the air cooling

system*
and form a pool underneath the ve­

hicle.
This is normal and does not indicate a
leak.
- If
you
notice, for instance, that the seat* or

Speed limits at certain times of day
Speed limits when towing a trailer
General notes
The traffic sign recognition system can detect
standardised speed Limit signs within the cam­
era's range of
vision.
It makes use of the naviga­
tion data to evaluate the detected speed limits
and show them on the display. Under certain
con­

ditions, the system will also display the legal
speed limits on roads without speed Limit signs.
The traffic sign for the currently detected speed
limit will flash on the display if
a
speed warning

threshold,
which has been set on the infotain­
ment system, is exceeded
^page
109.
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all
countries. For
a
current list, see the Internet (e.g.
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to
certain inherent restrictions and may be partially
or completely unavailable in the following situa­

tions:

- If visibility is impaired by snow,
rain,
fog or
heavy road spray.
- In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncom­
ing traffic.
-At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision
^>Fig.
98 is im­

paired,
e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean­
ing
•=>
page 312.
- If the traffic signs are partially or completely

obscured,
e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap­
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga­
tion data out of date).
- If the system detects a speed sticker on a slow-
moving vehicle (such as a heavy goods vehicle).
WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence

over
the information on the display. It is al­
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi­
ble that the speed limit display may occa­
sionally be unavailable or even incorrect.

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
The pre sense functions can take action to pro­
tect the vehicle occupants and other road users in
certain hazardous conditions within the system

limits.

- Because the different on-board systems are

networked,
pre sense basic can detect critical
situations and take preventive action to protect
the occupants.
- The pre sense front uses the data of the radar
sensor to calculate the probability of an
acci­

dent
opage
112. It can detect an impending
collision with vehicles or
pedestrians1^
(subject
to general system limitations). In this case, the
system warns the driver visually, acoustically

and,
if necessary, with a short, sharp brake ap­

plication.
If necessary, it can initiate a partial or

fuLl
brake application in order to reduce the im­
pact speed or, in certain circumstances, to
avoid a collision. In conjunction with pre sense
basic, the reversible tensioners on the front
seat belts are also applied if necessary. Pre
sense front is active even when the adaptive
cruise control* is switched off.
Please observe the general safety warnings

•=>
A in General notes on page 112.
© Note
- Certain pre sense functions are deactivated
when reversing.
- The functions of the pre sense system may
also be unavailable if
a
fault develops in the

ESC
system or airbag control unit.
- Please note that, if the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated, the reversible
belt tensioner on the passenger's side will
be deactivated as
well.

- Switch off pre sense on private roads and
while the vehicle is being loaded onto a car
transporter, train or ferry, etc. This prevents
the pre sense system from taking action in
an inappropriate situation.
Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
The pre sense basic functions are activated at
speeds above approximately 30 km/h.
The system can activate the following functions
in certain situations:
- Seat belt tensioning (e.g. during hard braking):
The seat belts on the front seats have reversi­
ble tensioners. Provided an accident does not
occur, the belts are loosened again slightly and
kept ready for activation.
- Initiation of the closure process for the
win­

dows and panorama sun roof* (e.g. if the
vehi­

cLe understeers or oversteers).
Audi drive select*: the activation threshold
dif­

fers according to the mode selected.

Driver assist systems
provided tempt you into taking any risks when
driving - this can cause accidents.
- Please note that pre sense front can give
warnings or apply the brakes unexpectedly.
Always secure your luggage to prevent dam­
age and possible injury.
- Due to inherent system limitations, false ac­
tivation of the system is possible.
- Please note that the sensor is not always
able to detect all objects which may repre­
sent a potential hazard - risk of accident!
- Pre sense front does not react to the follow­

ing:
oncoming traffic in the same lane, sta­
tionary or stopped persons, pedestrians
crossing the road at an angle, groups of
people, animals, or objects that are hard to

recognise •=>
A in General notes on
page 112.
A WARNING
The pre sense front functions may be restric­
ted or unavailable in situations such as the

following:

- If objects such as crash barriers or other
vehicles are reflecting additional light.
- At tunnel entrances.
- In heavy fog,
rain,
road spray or snow.
- If the radar sensor is dirty, frosted, dam­
aged or covered.
- When driving through a corner.
-Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: If the
ESC system has been partially or fully deac­

tivated.

© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensor. This can impair the function of
the pre sense front system. Have the systems
checked by a
quaLified
workshop.
© Note
-The automatic brake application with in­
creasing brake force can be cancelled by ap­
plying the brakes yourself or by pressing the
accelerator firmly or by taking evasive ac­

tion.

- Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: Cer­
tain pre sense front functions are deactiva­
ted when the ESC
offroad
mode is switched
on and when reversing.

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
