Description
Applies to vehicles. with Audi active lane assist
The active lane assist uses a camera in the
windscreen to detect lane markings (subject
to general system limitations). If you ap-
proach 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 override this steering input
at any time. The steering wheel vibrates
slightly if you cross a lane marking. The vibra-
tion warning must be activated beforehand in
the MMI*. The active lane assist is functional
when it detects a demarcation line on at least
one side of the lane in which you are driving.
The system does not warn you if you operate
the turn signal before crossing a lane mark-
ing. In this case, it assumes that you intend to
change lanes.
As the system is designed for driving on mo-
torways and other major roads, it is only ac-
tive above a speed of about 65 km/h (may
vary in different export markets).
