The alarm will sound if there is a break-in at the
doors, hood, and/or luggage compartment lid.
Interior/towing protection monitor
The alarm will be triggered if there are move-
ments detected in the vehicle interior (for exam-
ple, by animals) or if there is a change in the vehi-
cle angle (for example, when the vehicle is being
towed).
You can prevent the alarm from being triggered
by deactivating the interior/towing protection

Steering wheel
General information
Make sure that:
— The distance between your upper body and the
steering wheel is at least 10 in (25 cm)
— Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows
— You have a sufficient view of the area around
the vehicle and you have a clear view of the in-
strument cluster
56
— You are always holding the steering wheel with
both hands on the outer edge at the sides (9:00
and
3:00 position) when driving

Z\ WARNING
— If you are too close to the steering wheel,
the driver's airbag cannot provide optimal
protection, which increases the risk of injury
or fatality.
— Never hold the steering wheel in the 12:00
position or in any other way, such as holding
the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise,
your arms, hands, and head could be injured
in the event that the driver's airbag deploys.

steering wheel position does not change un-
intentionally while driving, which would in-
crease the risk of an accident.

Assist systems

@) Tips
— The coverage areas of the sensors > fig. 86
are diagrams and do not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges. The ra-
dar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road
lanes
are the normal width.
— Make sure all the sensors are clean and free
of snow and ice, and that the visual fields
are not covered by stickers, deposits, or any
other obstructions, because this may impair
the function of the systems. Follow the in-
formation about cleaning > page 236.
— Do not use a license plate bracket different
from the one installed by the factory in the
front of the vehicle, because it may impair
the function of dependent systems.
— The sensors can shift from an accident,
manual force, impacts, or from damage to
the radiator grill, bumper, wheel housing,
or underbody. Do not continue using the as-
sistance systems if the sensors have shifted,
because this is unsafe. Have an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa-
cility check their function.
— The function of the sensors may be limited
when light and visibility conditions are poor,
for example when driving into a tunnel,
when there is glare, or when there are re-
flective objects.
— External ultrasonic sensors, such as those in
other vehicles, can interfere with the sen-
sors.
—The side area ©)* is detected and evaluated
when passing. There may have been
changes to the surrounding area after
switching the ignition off and on again, af-
ter opening the doors, or if the vehicle is left
stationary for a period of time. In this case,
the area will appear black until the area has
been detected and evaluated.

Lane departure warning
General information
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
The lane departure warning can detect lane
marker lines within the limits of the system. If
you are approaching a detected lane marker and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system can warn you with corrective steering and
a steering wheel vibration, if necessary.
The system functions in the speed range of ap-
proximately 40 mph - 155 mph (65 km/h -
250 km/h).
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
and without side assist: The system will not warn
you before crossing a lane marker line if you have
activated the turn signal. In this case, it assumes
that you are changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
combined with side assist: A noticeable corrective
steering movement will occur briefly before the
vehicle exits the lane if the turn signal is activat-
ed, the lane departure warning is ready, and a
lane change has been classified as critical by the
system due to vehicles traveling beside you or
due to approaching vehicles. This will attempt to
keep your vehicle in the lane.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.

Driver assistance

Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is warning you
about detected objects classified as critical.
Depending on the vehicle equipment and other
driver assistance systems, the display on the re-
spective mirror may also flash if you have not
turned on the turn signal: If you are approaching
a detected lane marker line and it appears you
will be leaving the lane, the display on the mirror
will warn you about detected vehicles that it has
classified as critical. You can also be warned with
corrective steering > page 119, Lane departure
warning.
Detection range
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti-
cal for a lane change. For example:
— If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
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 in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane.
—If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).

ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The display may not appear on time when
vehicles are approaching or being passed
