General notes on lane departure warning
General notes on lane departure warning
   
The lane departure warning (Audi lane assist) helps the driver to stay in lane. A camera is used for detecting lane markers. The lane departure warning is "on alert" when lane markers are detected on either side of the lane in which the vehicle is driving. When the vehicle approaches a detected lane marker and is about to leave the lane in which it is driving, the steering wheel vibrates to warn the driver. If the lane departure warning is "on alert" and the driver operates the turn signals before crossing a lane marker, no warning is given because the system assumes that the lane change is deliberate.
The steering wheel vibrates once only in order to alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching or crossing a detected lane marker. A second warning is only given if the vehicle has moved a sufficient distance away from the lane marker after the first warning and subsequently approaches the lane marker again. This avoids warnings being given continuously when the vehicle is travelling in parallel with a lane marker.

The system is designed for use on motorways and trunk roads. For this reason, it does not become active until the vehicle is travelling at a speed of approx. 65 km/h or higher.
Adverse road conditions, such as a dirty or snow-covered road surface, a lane which is too narrow for the vehicle, or ambiguous lane markers (as commonly found in road works on motorways for instance) may result in the system being temporarily unavailable. The current system status is indicated to the driver on the dash panel insert.
