Audi active lane assist
(lane departure 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 us ing a came ra in t he
windsh ie ld. If you are app roaching a de t ected
lane marker line and it appea rs likely t hat you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering. You can override t his steering
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn-
ing vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system . Active lane assist
is ready for operation whe n the lane marke r line
is detected on at least one s ide of the vehicle .
The system is designed for driving on express-
ways and highways and therefore only activates
at speeds above approximate ly 40 mph (65 km/
h).
Applies to vehicles with side assist
If you activate a tur n signa l when active lane as-
sist is ready and it class ifies a lane cha nge as crit-
ical because of ve hicles t raveli ng a longs ide you or
approaching you, the re will be not iceab le correc-
tive stee ring short ly before you leave t he lane.
This will att empt t o keep your vehicle in t he lane.
A ss istance systems
Applies to vehicles w it hout side assist
The system will not warn you before cross ing a
lane marker line if you have activated the t urn
signal. In this case, it assumes that you are
changing lanes intentionally.
Appl ies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise control
The corrective steer ing is targeted based on the
dr iving situ ation . In add it ion t o t he lane mar ker
lines, the system can also t ake into accoun t ot her
objects such as gua rd rai ls. If they a re detected in
close proximity to t he vehicle, active lane assist
helps preve nt the vehicle from driving too close
to them. The re is a lso pass ing ass istance. The
system does not provide any corrective steering if
it detects that you are pass ing anot her vehicle .
A WARNING
-
- The system warns t he drive r that t he vehicle
is leaving t he lane using corrective steering.
The drive r is always responsible fo r keeping
the vehicle within t he lane.
- The system can assist the dr iver in keeping
the vehicle in t he lane, but it does not dr ive
by it sel f. Always keep your hands on t he
st eer ing whee l.
- Correct ive stee ring may not occur in cert ain
situa t ions, such as d uring he avy braking .
- There may be cases whe re t he came ra does
not recogni ze a ll lane mar ker lines . Correc-
tive steering can only take pla ce on t he side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structu res or objects could poss i-
bly be identified un intentionally 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 ra in,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines o r de-
tect ing them inco rrectly .
- Unde r ce rtain condit ions such as ruts in the
road, a ban ked roadway or crosswinds, the
correct ive steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
