Audi Q7: Safety precautions
WARNING
Tips
- Pay attention to applicable local regulations
relating to driving tasks, leaving space for
emergency vehicles, vehicle distance, speed,
parking location, wheel placement, etc. The
driver is always responsible for following
the laws that are applicable in the location
where the vehicle is being operated.
- You can cancel a steering or braking intervention
by the system by braking or accelerating
noticeably, steering, or deactivating
the respective assist system.
- Always check the assist systems settings before
driving. The settings could have been
changed, for example by other drivers.
System limitations
WARNING
- The use of an assist system cannot overcome
the natural laws of physics. A collision
cannot be prevented in certain circumstances.
- Warnings, messages, or indicator lights may
not be displayed or initiated on time or correctly,
for example, if vehicles are approaching
very fast.
- Corrective interventions by the assist systems,
such as steering or braking interventions,
may not be sufficient or they may not
occur. Always be ready to intervene.
Tips
- Due to the system limitations when detecting
the surrounding area, the systems may
warn or intervene unexpectedly or too late
in certain situations. The assist systems may
also interpret a driving maneuver incorrectly
and then warn the driver unexpectedly.
- The systems may not function as expected
in unusual driving situations, such as driving
offroad, on unpaved roads, on loose ground,
on inclines, or on grooves in the road.
- The systems may not function correctly in
unclear traffic situations, such as turning
lanes, exit ramps, construction zones, rises
or dips that obstruct visibility, intersections,
toll stations, or city traffic.
- The detection of the surrounding area can
be limited, for example by vehicles driving
ahead or by rain, snow, heavy spray, or light
shining into the camera.
- The steering wheel touch recognition may
be limited when you wear gloves. Steering
intervention requests from the steering assist
systems may occur more frequently.
- If accessories have been mounted on the
steering wheel, the steering assist systems
may be limited. The frequency of steering
intervention requests from the steering assist
systems may vary as well.
