In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faste r a veh icle approaches,
t he sooner the display in the exterio r mirror w ill
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveli ng with you are ind icated in the
exte rior mi rror if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehicles detected by side assist
Assistance systems
are indicated by the time they ente r your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles you are passing
If you s low ly pass a vehi cle that side assist has
de tected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than approximate­
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 turn 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 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 veh icle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example :
- If the lanes are narrow or if your 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).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors
c:> fig. 122 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob­
jects, because th is will impair the function . Do
not use s ide assist when towing a trai ler. For in ­
formation on cleaning, see
c:> page 354.
A WARNING
-- Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle . S ide assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
-
similar driving maneuvers . IJI,

Ass is tan ce sys tems
-In some situations, the system may not
function or its funct ion may be limited. For
example:
- I f vehicles are approach ing or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- I n 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 su rface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detec ted
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
@ Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts o r
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. This can impair the system . Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function.
(D Tips
- If the window g lass in the driver's doo r or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor­
rect.
