Audi active lane assist
Lane assist
Description
App lies to vehicles: with Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane ma rker lines
within t he lim its of the system using a camera
in the w indshield . If you a re approaching a de­
tected lane marker line and it appears likely
that you wi ll leave the lane, the system will
warn you with corrective steering. You can
ove rride this steering at any time . If you pass
over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for th is warning v ibration to
occur, it must first be switched on in the MMI.
Active lane ass ist is operable when the lane
marker line is detected on at least one side of
the vehicle .
The system will not warn you before cross ing
a lane marker Line if you have activated the
turn signal. In t his case, it assumes that you
a re changing lanes intent ionally.
The system is designed for driv ing on express ­
ways and h ighways and therefore only acti­
vates at speeds above app roximately 40 mp h
(65 km/h).
A WARNING
- The sys tem wa rns the d river that the ve­
hicle 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.
Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Co rrective stee ring may not occur in cer­
tain situations, such as d uring heavy
braking.
- There may be cases where the camera
does not recognize all lane marker lines.
Corrective steering can only take p lace
on the side of the veh icle where lane
marker lines are detected .
l) Th is func tion is not available in a ll co untries.
- Other road structures or objects cou ld
possibly be identified un intent ionally as
lane marker lines. As a result, correct ive
steer ing may be unexpected or may not
occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for
example by vehicles driving ahead or by
ra in, snow , heavy spray light shining into
the camera or by dirt on the window . T his
can result in act ive lane assist not detect­
ing the lane marke r lines or detec ting
them incorrect ly .
- I n certain sit uat ions where visibili ty is
low, the vehicle may swi tch from "early"
to "late" corrective steering
l).
-Unde r ce rtain condi tions such as ruts in
the road, an incl ined roadway or c ross­
winds, 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 the re a re poor
road and/or weather conditions such as
slippery roads, fog, grave l, heavy rain,
snow and the potential for hydroplaning .
Using act ive lane assist under these con­
d itions may increase the risk of a c rash .

Indicator lights
• Ready:
The indicator light turns on when
the system is ready for use. The system can
now be operated .
• Not ready: The indicator light turns on if
the system is switched on but is inoperable.
This may be due to the following reasons:
- There is no lane boundary line.
- The relevant lane marker lines are not de-
tected (for example, markings in a construc­
tion zone or because they are obstructed by
snow, dirt, water or light ing) .
- The vehicle speed is below the activation
speed of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
(the speed may vary depending on your
country) .
- The lane is narrower than 8
ft (2 .5 m) or
wider than 18
ft (5.5 m).
rl 1.0 -The curve is too narrow.
