WARNING!
- Please note that the sensors are not always able to detect all vehicles which may represent a potential hazard (accident risk).
- Please note that the side assist is not able to give adequate warning of vehicles approaching very fast from behind, or vehicles that you are overtaking rapidly.
- The radar sensor's "field of vision" can be impaired by rain, snow or a lot of water on the road. This results in vehicles not being reliably recognised or, in some circumstances, not being detected at all by the side assist. Always give your full attention to the position of your vehicle on the road and other nearby traffic.
- The side assist only gives a warning of approaching vehicles and vehicles in the blind spots when road speed is above 30 km/h.
- Please note that the side assist does not operate in tight bends (with a radius of less than 100 metres).
- The side assist feature is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver. The driver is always responsible for the safety of lane changes and other manoeuvres. Always give your full attention to the position of your vehicle on the road and other nearby traffic.
Note
- The areas surrounding the radar sensors must not be obstructed by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any other substances which could impair the function of the Audi side assist. Notes on cleaning Link. Please observe the additional notes on Link.
- Make sure that the warning lamps on the exterior mirrors are not obscured by stickers or other objects.
- The side assist function will be switched off automatically when the electrical connector for the trailer socket is plugged in on vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket.
- The side assist should be switched off manually when towing a trailer if the vehicle is equipped with a towing bracket which was not factory-fitted.
- The side assist system will switch off automatically if it detects an obstruction that impairs the function of the radar sensors.
- The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors may not be properly visible if tinted foil is affixed to the side windows on the driver's or passenger's side.
