WA RNING (continued )
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lanes.
•
Side assist cannot detect all vehicle s under all conditions -
danger of accident!
•
Side assist cannot detect vehicles in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed, or fall drop back
very quickly.
•
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced or entirely blocked by
rain, snow, and heavy spray. This can result in side assist not
adequately detecting vehicles or, in some cases, not dete cting
them at all . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .
•
Please note that side assist indicates there are approaching
vehicles, or vehicles in your blind spot , only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 37 mph (60 km/ h).
•
Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius less than 218 yards, or 200
ml.
•
Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention . The
driver alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .

Note
To ensure that side assist is not adv ersely affected, you should not
block the area on the rear bumper where the radar sensors are
located with f or eign objects (such as wit h stickers or b icycle racks).

Tips
If t he pos it ions of th e rada r sensors have bee n changed as a resu lt
of a rear end -collision, for instance, have side assi st checked by an
autho riz ed Aud i dea ler fo r safe ty reaso ns. •

Declaration
of compliance
Th e Audi side assist system is based o n radar sensors which operate
i n one of tw o fr eque ncy ban ds at 24 GHz. In so m e countr ies only one
of both bands is allowed . Depending on the country in which you
are dr iving, t he A ud i side assist syste m may not be legal ly act ivated
unless the frequency band permitted has been set by an authorized
A ud i dea ler. Op erati on in th e US and Canada is on ly perm it te d on
the 24075 MHz to 24 175 M Hz frequenc y band. The correct frequency
b and was set by Audi or an autho ri zed Aud i d eale r in t he coun t ry
where your vehicle was originally purchased and may have been
reset if the ve hicle was ope rat ed outside t he US o r Canada . Change s
or modi f ications not expressl y approved by Aud i can void the user's
authority to operate the Audi side assist system .
This dev ice co m p lies wi t h Part 15 of t he FCC Ru les. Operat ion is
subject to the fo llowing two condit ions :
•
this devi ce may not cause harm ful int erfe renc e, and
•
th is device must accept any interference received, inc luding
