Description
App lies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system .
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The
(Ol (USA
models)/
(01 (Canada models) indicato r light
and a message appear i n the ins trumen t cluster
d isplay at the same time. The
(Sl (USA models)/
(O] (Canada models) indicator light and the mes ­
sage turn off when the ve hicle speed drops below
the stored maximum speed.
Sett ing a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed . Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener­
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.

-For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
w inding roads a nd when road conditions a re
poor (such as ice, fog, g rave l, heavy rai n and
hydroplaning), because this in cr eases the
risk of an acciden t.

Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines w ith -
i n the lim its of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approach ing a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system w ill warn you with
cor rective stee ring . You can over ride this stee ring
at any t ime. If you pass ove r a line, the stee ring

wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on a t least one side of the vehicle.
The system is design ed for driving on express­
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
(depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles with side assist* : if you acti­
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­ ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer ­
in g shortly before you leave the lane . This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist *: the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line. In this case , it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally .
A WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steer ing.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
-There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines . Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
-Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur .
8 1l The corrective stee rin g func tion is not avail able in all mar­,..._
~ ket s.
Assistance systems
-The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window . This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor­
rectly.
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly " to "late" steering correction
l).
-Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, act ive lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the
potential for hydroplaning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

be due to the following reasons:
- There is no lane marker line .
- The relevant lane marker lines are not detected (for example, mark ings in a construction zone
o r because they are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting).
- The veh icle speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (the speed
may vary depending on yo ur country).

(D Approaching vehicles
In certain cases, a vehicle w ill be class ified as
c ritical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the exterior m irror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indica ted in the
exterior mirror if t hey are classified as critical for
a lan e change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns
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 ass ist has detected (the differ ­
ence in speed is greater than 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 norma l width . In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example:
-If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane . If this is the case, the
.,,_

Cl 00 ... N r-­N ... 0 r-­Vl 00
system may have detected a vehicle in another
l ane that is
not adjacent to your current lane .
- If you are dr iving t hrough 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 weat her condit ions . The side assist
functions a re limited.

ries.
Description
App lies to: vehicles with A udi drive se lect
The veh icle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in­
format ion regarding steering movements, brak­
i ng and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv­
i ng speed, and load. W ith dr ive se lect, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam­
ic ), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts . Indirect steering that
moves eas ily as in comfort mode is espec ially
su ited to long drives on a highway . The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
(D Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes .
