:E: ' Audi pre sense city
Description
Appl ies to: ve hicles with Audi pre sense c ity
W ith in the limits of the system, pre sense c ity
can warn you of impending coll is ions w ith
vehicles and pedestrians and initiate the applica­
b le braking maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at speeds of approximately 6 mph (10 km/ h) and higher.
A pedestrian warning can occur at speeds up to
50 mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warnings can oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h). A pre
sense city braking maneuver is possible at speeds
up to SO mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with Audi pre sense c ity
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions . The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
- your own vehicle approaches a significantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
- a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving
into the lane.
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­ ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
strong ly. The message
Audi pre sense.
¢ page 119, fig. 115 and a warning tone will
warn you about the danger .
Additionally, a jerk on the brakes may occur as an
acute warning when there is an impending colli­
sion. If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense city can brake to the point of complete de­
celeration within the limits of the system. This reduces the vehicle speed in the event of a colli ­
sion. The message
Audi pre sense. also ap­
pea rs .
The following functions are triggered in conjunc­
tion with pre sense basic/rear:
- Revers ible tensioning of the front safety belts .
- Closing the windows and sunroof*.
- Inflating the side bolste rs* in the seat backrest
and seat surface.
Assistance systems
Audi drive select*: the function is not active de­
pending on the mode selected .
A WARNING
--Pre sense city cannot overcome the laws of
physics. It is a system designed to assist and it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
stance . The dr iver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks.
This could increase your risk of a coll is ion.
- The system can dep loy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits.
- To reduce the r isk of an accident, please
note that the camera does not always detect
eve ry object.
- Pre sense city does not react to animals,
crossing or oncoming veh icles, objects such
as bars, railin gs or railcars, and objects that
are difficult to detect¢.&.
in General infor­
mation on page 108.
- In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
trai ler can be d ifferent than usual during au­
tomatic braking.
A_ WARNING
Pre sense city may be restricted or not availa­
ble in the following example situations:
- in heavy fog, rain, spray or snow
- when there are visua l obst ruct ions, such as
g la re, reflections or variations in light
- when it is dark
- if the camera window or the windshield is
dirty, iced over, damaged or covered
- when dr iv ing on snow, ice or loose ground
- in curves
- if the ESC was restricted or switched
off
- when towing a trailer
-when the driver's seat belt is unfastened
- up to ten seconds after switching on the ig-
nition
(D Note
Impacts or damage to the camera mount on
the w indshield can displace the sensor. Pre
sense city can be impaired by this. Have an

Side assist (lane change assist) helps you monitor
your blind spot and traffic behind your vehicle.
W ith in the limits of the system, it warns you
about vehicles that are coming close r or that are
traveling with you w ithin sensor range(!)
c>fig. 119. If a lane change is classified as criti­
cal, the disp lay@ in the exterior mirror turns on
c>fig . 120.
The display in the left exter ior mirror provides as­
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the disp lay in the right exterior mirror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right .
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
side assist
informs you about vehicl es that are
detected and classified as critical. The disp lay in
the mirror turns on, but is dim .
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur ­
bed.
126
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as critical.
If this happens, check traffic by glancing
in the exterior mirrors and over your shoulder
c> .&. in General information on page 127.
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the
display in the mirror can also blink if you have not
activated a turn signal: if you are approaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will
be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it has class ified as
critical.

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,
127

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

¢page 139.
A WARNING i-==
- 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 impa ired as a result.
138
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion.
(D 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.
{i) 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 146.
- Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 147.
- What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
- Th e sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate .

:E Rear parking system
Description
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid .
Desc rip tion
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you .
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick­
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the function of the system . For informa­
tion on cleaning, see
c::;,page 354.
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
side 3 ft (0.90 m)
rear
center 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals . A con­
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away. Do not continue backing up
c::;, &. in General infor­
ma tion on page 138,
c::;, (D in General information
on page
138!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually lowers after a few seconds until it is muted (this
i s not apply in the continuous tone range). If the
obstacle becomes closer than it was before the
sound was muted, the tone will sound again . If
the obs ta cl e is father away tha n it was before the
sound was muted, no tone w ill sound . Pay atten­
tion to the vehicle's surroundings when you start
to drive.
Activating
The rear parking assist activates automat ica lly
when the reverse gear is engaged. A br ief conf ir­
