Audi A6 2016 - Audi Active Lane Assist; Lane Assist

Audi active lane assist
Lane assist
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane marker lines with-
in the limits of the system using 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 with side assist* : If you acti-
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach-
ing you, there will be not iceable correct ive steer-
ing short ly before you leave the lane. This will at-
tempt to keep your veh icle in the lane.
Appl ies to vehicles without side ass ist*: the sys-
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signa l before crossing the lane marker
line. In this case, it ass umes that you are chang -
ing lanes intentionally.
Applies to vehicles with adapt ive cruise control*
or pa rking aid*: The corrective steering is ta rget-
ed based on the driving situation . In add ition 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 driving too close to them. There is also
passing assistance . The system does not provide
any correct ive steer ing if it detects that you are
passing another vehicle .

A WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective 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 itself . Al-
ways keep your hands on the stee ring
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 mar ker lines. Correc-
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Othe r road structures or objects could poss i-
bly be identified un inten t ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be rest ricted, for ex-
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de-
tect ing them incorrectly.
- Under certain condit ions such as ruts in the
road, a banked roadway or crosswinds, the
correct ive steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle 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
potential fo r hydrop laning. Using active lane
assis t under these condit ions may increase
the risk of a crash .
