Improper reliance on the side assist system
can cause collisions and serious personal in-
jury:
- Never rely only on side
assist when
chang
-
ing
lanes
.
-
Always check
rear
view mirrors to make
sure that
it is safe to change
lanes.
-
Side assist cannot detect a
ll
vehicles under
all conditions-
danger
of accident!
-
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 19 mph
(30 km/h).
-
In certain 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 m ist
.
-
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.
(D
Note
The
sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can
affect
the system
.
Have
your
authorized
Audi dealer or authorized

Facility check their
function.
