Audi side assist
Lane change assist feature
Applies to vehicles: with side assist
Description
The side assist function assists the driver when changing
lanes.
The side assist function employs radar sensors ⇒ fig. 163 to assist
the driver in monitoring following traffic and the blind spots on both
sides of the car ⇒ page 151, fig. 166.
Warning lamps are incorporated in the two exterior mirrors
⇒ fig. 164. The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists the
driver when changing lane towards the left and the warning lamp
on the right-hand mirror assists the driver when changing lane
towards the right.
When one of these lamps lights up, this is to inform you that the
side assist has detected a vehicle on that side and calculates that a
lane change would be critical. This is the first stage of the warning,
referred to as the information mode ⇒ page 151. This stage of the
warning is designed to be visible only when you look in the exterior
mirror.
If you operate the turn signal when the side assist has registered
what it judges to be a critical vehicle, the lamp on the exterior mirror
will then flash several times with greater intensity. This is the
warning mode ⇒ page 151.
