Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist (lane departure warning) de­
tects lane marker lines within the limits of the
system using a camera in the windshield. If you
are approaching a detected lane marker line and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system will warn you with corrective stee ring .
You can override this steering at any time . If you
pass over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate
lightly . In order for this warning vibration to oc ­
cur, it must first be switched on in the Infotain­
ment system. Active lane assist is ready for oper­
ation when the lane marker line is detected on at
least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express­
ways and highways and therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
Applies to: veh icles w ith side assist: if you acti­
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­
ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer­
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to: veh icles w it h out s ide ass ist: the ready
system does not warn you if you activate a turn
signal before crossing the lane marker line. In
this case, it assumes that you are changing lanes
intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise control:
there is no corrective steering or warnings if the
syst em recognizes a distinct passing maneuver.
If the conditions are met, traffic jam assist
switches on at speeds under approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
¢ page 109 .
Assistance systems
A WARNING
--
-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.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane assist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de­
tecting them incorrectly .
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch from an "early" to
"late" steering correction.
- Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the
potential for hydroplaning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

Stee ring time
Earl y: in th is sett ing, the correct ive steering hap­
pens continuously to help keep the vehicle in the
center of the lane.
La te : in this setting, the system provides correc­
tive steering just before a w heel goes over a de­
tected lane marker line .

© Vehicles you are passing
If
you s lowly pass a vehicle that s ide assist has
de tected ( the differe nce in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than app roximate­
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)), the disp lay in the exterior
mirror turns on as soon as the vehicle enters your
blind spot.
T he display w ill not tur n on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ­ ence in speed is greater than approximate ly 9
mph (15 km/h)) .
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are des igned to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the norma l width . In some situations, the display
in the exte rior 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 t his 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 s ide assist reacts to other objects (such as
roads ide structures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions . The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors
Q fig. 121 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob ­
jects, because this w ill impair the funct ion. Do
not use s ide ass ist when towing a trai ler. For in-
format io n on cleaning, see ¢

Ass is tanc e system s
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle . Side assist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention . The dr iver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
s imi lar d riving maneuvers.
- In some situat ions, the system may not
funct ion or its f unct io n may be lim ited. For
example :
- If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time .
- In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outs ide of the sensor
range .
@ Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . Th is can impa ir the system . Have
an author ized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i
Serv ice Facility check their function .
@ Tips
-If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger 's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor­
r ect.

Assistance systems
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode , the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator peda l
movements. In the sporty
Dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Air suspension*
The air suspension* is an electronically-control ­
led air suspension and damping system. The
ad­
justment depends on the driving mode selected,
steering movements, the driver's braking and
ac­
celeration, and as the road surface, vehicle speed
and load. The veh icle ground clearance depends
on the mode selected and the speed .
The ground clearance increases significantly
when the vehicle is in the
Allroad mode . At
speeds from approximate ly SO mph (80 km/h) to
75 mph (120 km/h), the ground clearance
re­
duces in stages . When the speed decreases, the
ground clearance increases aga in automat ically .
The ground clearance is the lowest in
Dynamic
mode.
Suspension control*
The suspension control* uses sensors to record
information regard ing steering movements,
braking and acceleration operations by the driv­
er, road surface, dr iv in g speed, and load. This
makes it possible to adapt damping to the driv­
ing situation near ly in rea l time. With drive
se ­
lect, you can adjust the suspension contro l to be
sporty
( Dynamic ), comfortab le (C omfort ) or bal­
anced
(A uto ).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Ind irect steer ing that
moves easi ly as in
Comfort mode is especia lly
suited to long drives on highways. The
Dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The following applies to vehicles with dynamic
steering* : the steering ratio changes based on
vehicle speed in order to maintain optimum
steering effort for the driver at all times . This
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to prov ide improved vehicle con­
trol. At reduced speeds, steering is more direct in
126
order to keep the steering effort as minima l as
possible when the driver is maneuvering the ve hi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steer ­
i ng* addit iona lly prov ides more respons ive steer­
i ng performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all whee l drive system
(quattro)
r=!> page 144, the sport differentia l dis ­
tributes the driving power to the rear axle
de­
pending on the s ituation. The distr ibut ion of
power varies depending on the selected mode
from moderate
(C omfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goal is a high level of ag ility and ability to ac­
celer ate on curves. The vehicle is very respons ive
to stee ring.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior whe n accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the drive select mode . Adaptive cruise control also
r esponds to the driv in g behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
@ Note
Applies to: vehicles with a ir suspension
- Make sure there is enough clearance above
and below the vehicle when pa rking. Th e
height of the vehicle (ground clearance) can
change once it is parked due to temperature
fluctuations, changes to the load conditions
and changes to the driving modes.
- When transporting the vehicle on a car
car­
rier, train, ship or by other means, only tie
the vehicle down at the running sur face of
the tires, which is the outer c ircumference.
Securing the vehicle at the axle compo­
nents, suspension struts or tow ing eyes is
not perm itted because the pressure in the
air suspens ion struts can change during
transport. The vehicle may not be secured
sufficiently if this happens .

Parking aid

General information
A pplies to: ve hicles w ith a rea r parking sys te m /parking sys­
tem p lus/rearv iew camera/peripheral cameras
Depending on your vehicle's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The parking system plus assists you when park ­
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver
¢ page 133.
The peripheral cameras give various views to
help you when parking or maneuvering
¢ page 135 . The parking system plus functions
are also available ¢
page 131.
_& WARNING
-Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park­
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
-
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect­
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur­ roundings, using the rearview mirror as
well.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park ­
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
130
ized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion .
@ Note
-Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- objects above the sensors such as wall ex­
tensions
- objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low ob­
ject, it may disappear from the sensor range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to re­
duce the risk of damage to the rims .
(D Tips
-The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover­
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
- external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
- in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex­
haust
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be­
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals
and the display ¢
page 138.
-Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 139.
-What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.
- The rearview camera is cleaned when clean­
ing the rear window
