Fig. 79 Display on the exterior mirror
Side assist helps you monitor your blind spot and
traffic behind your vehicle. Within the limits of
the system, it warns you about vehicles that are
coming closer or that are traveling with you with-
in sensor range @) > fig. 78: if a lane change is
classified as critical, the display @) in the exterior
mirror > fig. 79 turns on.
The display in the left exterior mirror provides as-
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the display 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 vehicles that are
detected and classified as critical. The display 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.
Warning stage
If you activate the turn signal, side assist warns
you about vehicles that are detected and classi-
fied as critical. The display in the respective mir-
ror blinks brightly. If this happens, check traffic
by glancing in the exterior mirrors and over your
shoulder > A\ in General information on
page 76.
Oo Tips
You can adjust the brightness on of the dis-
play on the rearview mirror > page 77.

Assist systems

Side assist functions at speeds above approxi-
mately 19 mph (30 km/h).
@ Approaching vehicles
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some-
what far away. The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the outside mirror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indicated in the
exterior mirror if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All 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 ve-
hicle 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 will 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)).
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 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
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 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. 81 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob-
76
jects, because they will impair the function. For
information on cleaning, see > page 262.

ZA\ WARNING
— Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
—Insome situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:
—If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
— In 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 surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
@) Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can impair the system. Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function.
@) Tips
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
rect.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see

Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
Drive select makes it possible to experience dif-
ferent types of vehicle characteristics in one vehi-
cle. The driver can select from three modes,
Comfort,
Auto, and Dynamic, using the sist but-
ton in the center console or by using the Infotain-
ment system. This allows you to switch between
a sporty and a comfortable driving mode, for ex-
ample. In the Individual mode, the settings can
be adjusted to your personal preferences. This
makes it possible to combine settings such as a
sporty engine setting with light steering.

Z\ WARNING
Using Audi drive select incorrectly can lead to
collisions, other accidents and serious inju-
ries.

Assist systems

Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive select
The vehicle 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 ina
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in-
formation regarding steering movements, brak-
ing and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv-
ing speed, and load. With drive select, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam-
ic), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indirect steering that
moves easily as in comfort mode is especially
suited 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.
@ Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes.

Parking aid

Parking aid
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system/parking system
plus
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles behind the vehicle
=> page 81.
The parking system plus assists you while park-
ing by audibly and visually warning you of objects
detected in front of and behind the vehicle
=> page 81.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The
lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver > page 82.

ZA WARNING
— 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 exiting 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.
— 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 impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility check their func-
tion.
— Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materials. If they
are, the sensor function could be impaired.
For additional information on cleaning, see
=> page 262.

@) 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.
— Maintain enough distance from the curb to
reduce the risk of damage to the rims.
@) 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. Practice
parking in good light and weather condi-
tions.
— You can change the volume of the signals.
— What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
— The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.

Parking aid

Rear parking system
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid.
Description
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 sensor function. For information on
cleaning, see > page 262.
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:

Side
Center
3 ft (0.90 m)
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Rear

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 > A\ in Introduction
on page 80, >@ in Introduction on page 80!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap-
ply in the continuous tone range).
