Driver assistance
System limitations
The system uses the data from the radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle > page 129,
fig. 94. They are designed to detect the left and
right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are the
normal width. In some situations, the system
may react to vehicles in your own lane or lanes
that are not directly adjacent to yours, or to ob-
jects on the side of the road. In this case, the dis-
play will turn on even though there is no vehicle
in the critical area. These situations may include:
~ Driving on the edge of your own lane
— Narrow lanes
— Curves
~ High barriers on the side of the road
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras ® page 126 to > page 129.
~The display may not appear at all or it may
not appear on time when vehicles are ap-
proaching or being passed very quickly.
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
rect.
~The coverage areas of the sensors © fig. 119
are diagrams and do not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges.
~The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations

Adjusting side assist
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
You can turn the side assist on or off in the Driver
assistance menu, or adjust it to your preferences
= page 130. The settings depend on the vehicle
equipment.
Possible settings:
Brightness - Change the brightness only when
side assist is switched on, so that the selected
setting can be checked in the exterior mirror dis-
plays. Adjust the brightness to a level where the
display in the information stage will not disrupt
your view ahead. Because the display brightness
automatically adapts to the ambient light, it may
have already been adjusted to the highest or low-
est setting during the automatic adaptation.
— If the system is activated, the displays will
turn on briefly when the ignition is switched
on.
— Applies to: driver assistance display with
area view: The display in the instrument
cluster will remain active even if side assist
is switched off.
Messages
Applies to: vehicles with side assist
1f Hi or Bis displayed when there is a malfunc-
tion, the side assist and exit warning system
functions may be unavailable or may be limited.
A message that indicates the cause and possible
solution may appear with some displays. The
weather conditions may be too poor or a sensor
may be covered. Clean the sensor area at the rear
corners of the vehicle = page 129, fig. 94 and try
to turn the systems on again later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
