&, WARNING (continued )
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lanes.
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicle s under all conditions -
danger of accident!
• Side assist cannot detect vehicles in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed, or fall drop back
very quickly.
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced or entirely blocked by
rain, snow, and heavy spray. This can result in side assist not
adequately detecting vehicles or, in some cases, not dete cting
them at all . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
• 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 37 mph (60 km/ h).
• Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius less than 218 yards, or 200
ml.
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention . The
driver alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
0 Note
To ensure that side assist is not adv ersely affected, you should not
block the area on the rear bumper where the radar sensors are
located with foreign objects (such as wit h stickers or bicycle racks).
[ i ] Tips
If the pos it ions of th e rada r sensors have bee n changed as a resu lt
of a rear end -collision, for instance, have side assist checked by an
autho rized Aud i dea ler fo r safety reaso ns. •

in one of tw o fr eque ncy ban ds at 24 GHz. In some countr ies only one
of both bands is allowed . Depending on the country in which you
are dr iving, t he Audi side assist syste m may not be legal ly act ivated
unless the frequency band permitted has been set by an authorized
Audi dea ler. Operati on in th e US and Canada is only perm itte d on
the 24075 MHz to 24175 MHz frequenc y band. The correct frequency
band was set by Audi or an autho rized Aud i deale r in the coun t ry
where your vehicle was originally purchased and may have been
reset if the vehicle was ope rated outside t he US or Canada . Changes
or modi fications not expressl y approved by Aud i can void the user's
