Active Lane assist
Description
Applies to vehicles: with active lane assist
Active lane assist helps you keep your vehicle
in your lane.
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines
within the limits of the system using a camera
in the windshield . If you are approaching a de-
tected lane marker line and it appears likely
that you w ill leave the lane, the system will
warn you by means of corrective steer ing . The
driver can override t he correct ive steer ing at
any time. If the vehicle crosses a line, the driv-
er is also warned by a light vibration in the
steering whee l. The vibration warning must
be switched on in the MMI for this to happen.
Active lane assist is operable when the line
marking the lane is detected on at least one
side of the vehicle .
If the system is in active standby mode and
the turn signa l is activated before driving over
the lane marker line, the warning does not oc-
cur since the system allows for intentional
lane changes.
The system is designed for driv ing on free-
ways and expanded highways and thus works
only at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more .
If the vehicle is also equipped with Audi adap-
tive cruise control*, the corrective steering
will be more specif ic in regard to the driving
situation . In addition to the lane marker lines,
the system can also take into account other
objects such as guard rails. If they are detect-
ed in close proximity to the vehicle, Audi ac-
tive lane assist helps prevent t he vehicle from
driving too close t o them . There is also pass-
ing assistance. The system does not provide
any corrective steering if it detects that you
are passing another vehicle.
A
WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the ve-
hicle is leaving the lane using corrective
Audi acti v e lane a ss is t 95
steer ing. The driver is always responsible
for keeping the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keep-
ing the vehicle in the lane, but it does
not steer by itself. Always keep your
hands on the steering wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in cer-
tain sit uat ions, such as dur ing heavy
braking.
- The camera does not recognize all lane
marker lines. Corrective steer ing can only
take place on the side of the vehicle
where lane marker lines are detected .
- Other road structures or objects could
possibly be identified un intent ionally as
lane ma rker lines. As a result, cor rect ive
steer ing may be unexpected or may not
occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for
examp le by vehicles driving ahead or by
rain, snow, heavy spray or light shining
into the camera. This can result in active
lane assist not detecting the lane marke r
lines or detect ing them incorrectly .
- Under certain condi t ions such as ruts in
the road, a banked roadway or cross-
winds, the corrective stee ring alone may
not be enough to keep the vehicle in the
lane.
- For safety reasons, active lane assist
must not be used when there are poor
road and/or weather condit ions such as
slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rai n,
snow and the potent ial for hydroplaning .
Using act ive lane assist under thes e con-
ditions may increase t he risk of a crash.
