Audi active lane assist
Lane assist
Description
Applies to: veh icles with act ive lane assist
Active lane assist helps you keep your vehicle in
your lane .
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with-
in the limits
of the system using a camera in the
windshield. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you by
means of correct ive steering . The dr iver can over-
ride the correct ive steering at any time. If the ve-
hicle crosses a line, the drive r is also warned by a
light
vibration in the steering wheel. The vibra-
tion 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.
The system is designed for driv ing 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 your turn signal when active lane assist is
ready and when activated side assist has classi-
fied a lane change as critical because of vehicles
traveling alongside you or coming closer, there
will be noticeable corrective steering just before
you leave the lane. This is done to try to keep
your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist*: when the
system is ready, it does not warn you if you acti -
vate your turn signal before driving across a lane
marker line. In th is case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intent ionally.
If the vehicle is also equipped with Audi adaptive
cruise control*, the corrective steering w ill be
more specific in regard to the driving situation .
I n addition to the lane marker lines, the system
can also take into account other objects such as
guard rai ls. If they are detected in close prox imi-
ty to the vehicle, Audi active lane assist helps
prevent the vehicle from driv ing too close to
them. There is also passing assistance . The sys-
Audi a ct ive lan e a ss ist
tern does not provide any corrective steering if it
detects that you are passing another vehicle .
A WARNING
-
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using correct ive steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the dr iver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not steer
by itself . Always keep your hands on the
steer ing wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
- The camera does not recognize all lane
marker lines. Correct ive steering can only
take place on the side of the vehicle where
lane marker lines are detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi-
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, 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 assist
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 lane.
- For safety reasons, active 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 for hydrop laning. Using active lane
assist under these condit ions may increase
the risk of a crash.
