Speed warning function
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning function
The speed warning function can help you keep
below a pre-set maximum speed.
The speed warning function will warn you if the
vehicle exceeds the pre-set maximum speed. The
system gives an audible warning signal if the set
speed is exceeded by about 3 km/h. The indicator
lamp [9] simultaneously appears on the infotain­
ment display. The indicator lamp [9J goes out
when the speed drops below the set speed limit
again.
You are recommended to store this speed limit
warning if you wish to be reminded of a particu­
lar speed limit. This could be when driving in
countries with general speed limits, or if you
need to keep below a particular speed when win­
ter tyres are fitted, etc.
Note
- Please bear in mind that, even with the
speed warning function, it is still important
to keep a check on the car's speed with the
speedometer and to observe the statutory
speed limits.
- On vehicles for some markets, the speed
warning function warns you when you reach
a speed of 120 km/h. This speed limit warn­
ing is preset at the factory.
Setting speed limit warning
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning function
The infotainment system is used to set, alter or
cancel the speed limit warning.
.. Select the following on the infotainment sys­
tem: IM E
N u I
button > Car > left control button

The speed limit warning can be adjusted in incre­
ments of 10 km/h between 30 and 240 km/h.
80 Cruise
control system

engine power or braking the vehicle accordingly .
A WARNING
- Always direct your full attention to the road,
even when you are using the cruise control
system. It is always the driver who is re­
sponsible for determining the speed and for
keeping a safe distance to the other vehicles
on the road.

Do not resume the programmed cruising
speed if this is too high for the traffic condi­
tions -this can cause accidents.

_& WARNING
Always switch the speed limiter off after use
to prevent it from being activated uninten­
tionally.
- Even when using the speed limiter, the driv­
er maintains full responsibility for control­
ling the vehicle's speed.
- Using the speed limiter in adverse weather
is dangerous and can result in a serious acci­
dent if you encounter heavy rain, snow, ice,
wet leaves etc. You should only use the
speed limiter if the road conditions and
weather allow you to do so safely.
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down
feature when the visibility and weather con­
ditions are suitable, and when the road and
traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
CD CAUTION
Before driving down a long, steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and move these­
lector lever to a lower gear. In this way you
will make use of the engine braking effect and
relieve the load on the brakes.

84 Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi active lane assist
The active Lane assist uses a camera in the wind­
screen to detect Lane markings (subject to gener­
al system Limitations). If you approach one of the
detected lane markings, the system corrects the
steering to warn you that the vehicle might be
about to cross one of the markings. You can over­
ride this steering input at any time. The steering
wheel vibrates slightly if you cross a Lane mark­
ing. The vibration warning must be activated be­
forehand on the infotainment system. The active
Lane assist is functional when it detects a demar­
cation line on at least one side of the Lane in
which you are driving.

.... As
the system is designed for driving on motor­
ways and other major roads, it is only active
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif­
ferent export markets).
Applies to vehicles with side assist*: If you oper­
ate the turn signals while the active lane assist
and side assist are active, the steering will be cor­
rected just before you cross the lane demarcation
if the side assist detects vehicles approaching
quickly or travelling at about the same speed as
your own vehicle and judges the situation to be
critical. This intervention is intended to keep the
vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: The sys­
tem does not warn you if you operate the turn
signal before crossing a lane demarcation. In this
case, it assumes that you intend to change lanes.
_&. WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in­
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you are
always responsible for staying in your own
lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the vehi­
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands off
the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak­
ing, the system may not correct the steer­
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be initi­
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front, rain,
snow, a lot of water on the road, adverse
light or dirt on the windscreen. If this hap-

pens, the active lane assist may not detect
the lane markings or may respond incorrect­
ly.
- In certain circumstances, for instance if visi­
bility is poor, the setting for the steering in­
put may be switched from "early" to "late"
1)
- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer­
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in diffi­
cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,
fog, loose grit or gravel, heavy rain, snow,
etc.) -risk of accident!

ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).

The side assist function assists the driver in mon­

The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing lane towards the left
and the warning lamp on the right-hand mirror
assists the driver when changing lane towards
the right.
Information mode
As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel­
evant exterior mirror will light up at low intensi­
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor­
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit­
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General
