Lane assist
Description
App lies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane marker lines with-
in the limits of the system us ing a camera in the
windshie ld. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn-
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment
system. Act ive lane assist
is operable when the lane marker line is detected
on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on freeways
and expanded highways and thus works only at
speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist*: if you act i-
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classif ies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach-
ing you, there w ill be not iceable correct ive steer-
ing short ly before you leave the lane. This will at-
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Appl ies to veh icles w ithout side ass ist* : the sys-
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the t urn signa l before crossing the lane marker
line. In this case, it ass umes that you a re chang -
ing lanes intentionally.
Applies to vehicles w ith adapt ive cr uise control*
or pa rking aid*: the corrective steering is ta rget-
ed based on the d riving situation. In addition to
the lane marker lines, the system can also take
into account other objects such as guard rails. If
they are detected in close proximity to the vehi-
cle, active lane assist helps prevent the vehicle
from dr iving too close to them. There is a lso
passing assistance . The system does not provide
any corrective steer ing if it detects that you are
passing anothe r vehicle.

A
WARNING
-
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using correct ive steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itse lf. Al-
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as du ring heavy braking.
- There may be cases whe re the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc-
tive stee ring can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Othe r road stru ctures or objects could poss i-
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex-
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into t he
camera. This can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de-
tect ing them incorrectly.
- Under certain cond it ions such as ruts in the
road, a banked roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle 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
pot ential fo r hydrop lan ing. Using active lane
assist under t hese cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash .
