Audi TT Roadster 2016 Owner's Manual page 101

- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
quickly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system
may not detect vehicles in the adjacent
lane because they are outside the area
covered by the sensors.

CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.

Adjusting brightness of warning lamp
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist
The brightness of the warning lamp can be ad­
justed on the infotainment system.

The brightness of the warning lamp in both the
information and warning modes is regulated au­
tomatically according to the ambient light level.
If you are in very dark or very light surroundings
when you adjust the brightness of the warning
lamp, the automatic brightness control may al­
ready have reached the lowest or the brightest
setting. In such a case it is possible that you
won't notice a difference while you are adjusting
the brightness or that you will only notice it once
the light surroundings have changed.
Please adjust the brightness of the warning lamp
for the information mode so that it does not dis­
tract you while you are looking at the road in
front. When you change the brightness, the
warning lamp on the exterior mirror will light up
briefly with the intensity set for the information
mode. The intensity of the lamp in the warning
mode is linked to the intensity in the information
mode and is adjusted automatically.
