mately 19 mph (30 km/h) .
@ Approaching vehicles
In certain cases , a veh icle w ill be classified as
c ritical for a lane change even if i t is sti ll some­
what far away. The faster a vehicle a pproaches,
the soon er the display in th e exterior m irro r will
turn on.
@ Vehicles tra veling with you
Vehicles traveling with yo u are indica ted in the
exterio r mir ror if they are classified as cr itical for
a lane change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are ind icated by th e time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest .
@ Vehicles y ou are pass ing
If you s low ly pass a vehi cle that s ide assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the d isplay in the exter ior m irror tu rns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot .
The display wi ll not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ­ ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functiona l limitat ions
T he radar sensors are des igned to detect the le ft
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 veh icle located in the area that is criti·
ca l for a lane change . For example :
- If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on the edge of yo ur lane. If t his is the case, the .,..

Ass is t
system may have detected the vehicle in anoth­
er 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 one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as high or displaced guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors ¢
fig. 80 with
s tickers, deposits, bicycle wheels o r othe r ob­
jects, because they wi ll impair the function . For
information on cleaning, see
¢ page 275.
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr iver's attention. The driver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
- In some situat ions, 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 wea ther 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 detected
because they are outs ide of the sensor
range.
- Audi side assist cannot detect a ll vehicles
under all condit ions, w hich can increase the
risk of accidents .
- Please note that side assist only displays ap­
proaching vehicles or vehicles in your blind
spot if your vehicle is travel ing at least
19 mph (30 km/h) .
- In certain situations, the system may not
work or its function may be limited. For ex­ ample:
- The display may not turn on at the rig ht
time if veh ides are app roaching or passing
very quick ly.

A WARNING
-
Driving at higher speeds without the rear
spoiler deployed can impair handling charac­ teristics, making the vehicle harder to con ­
trol.
- Always make sure that the spoiler is de­
ployed when driving at speeds over 85 mph
(140 km/h). If the rear spoiler warning/indi­
cator light in the instrument cluster comes
on, the rear spoiler may not have deployed.
- Never drive at speeds higher than 85 mph
(140 km/h) if the spoiler is not deployed .
Have the spoiler inspected as soon as possi­
ble by an authorized Audi dealer or qualified
workshop.
- Always obey speed limits and other traffic
laws.
A WARNING t =
Improper operation of the rear spoiler can
cause crushing injuries.
-
- Always make sure that nobody, especially
children, is in the way when the rear spoiler
is deployed or retracted.
(D Note
- Never push on the vehicle on the rear spoil­
er. This could cause damage.
- To prevent damage to the rear spoiler do
not lean or place anything on it.
- Only operate the rear spoiler manually when
the luggage compartment lid is close and
the rear spoiler moving parts are not
blocked. Otherwise, damage could occur.
@ Tips
Clean the rear spoiler compartment every 2 to
3 months. To function correctly, the rear
spoiler must be free of ice , snow and leaves.
Intelligent Technology
Energy management
The starting ability is optimized
The energy management system manages the
electrical energy distribution and optimizes the
availability of electrical energy for starting the
engtne.
When a vehicle with a conventional energy sys­
tem is not driven for a long time, the vehicle bat­
tery is drained by equipment (for example, the
immobilizer). In certain circumstances , there
could may not be enough energy to start the en­
gine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent ener­
gy management system for distributing electrici­
ty. This significantly improves the starting ability
and increases the vehicle battery life.
The energy management system Is made up of
battery diagnosis, idling current management
and dynamic energy management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis determines the vehicle bat ­
tery charge level. The sensors determine the bat­
tery voltage, the battery current, and the battery
temperature. The current charge level and the
performance of the vehicle battery are deter­
mined based on this.
Idling current management
The idling current management decreases the
energy used while parked. With the engine
switched off , it manages the energy distribution
to the different electrical components. Data from
the battery diagnosis is taken into account for
this.
Depending on the vehicle battery charge level,
electrical equipment is switched off one item af­
ter the other to prevent the vehicle battery from draining and to maintain the starting ability.
Dynamic energy management
While driving , dynamic energy management dis­
tributes the appropriate amount of energy to the
electrical equipment.
It controls the battery
charge level so that the amount of energy is not ..,_

Wearing safety belts improperly can cause seri­
ous injury or death. Safety belts can only work
when they are correctly pos itioned on the body .
Improper seating positions reduce the effect ive­
ness of safety belts and will even increase the
risk of injury and death by mov ing the safety belt
to crit ica l areas of the body. Imp roper seating
positions also increase the risk of se rious injury
and death when an airbag deploys and strikes an
occupant who is not in the correct seating posi ­

How safety belt pretensioners work
In front, side and rear-end collisions above a
particular severity and in a rollover, safety belts
are tensioned automatically .
Pyrotechnic safety belt pretensioners
The safety belts for the front sea ting posit ions

&_ WARNING
-
- It is poss ible for the pretensioners to dep loy
incorrectly.
- The pyrotechnic system can only provide protection for one collision . If the pyrotech­
n ic pretens ioners dep loy, the pre tensioning
system must be replaced.
(0 Tips
The pyrotechn ic safety belt pretensioners can
