Description
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
With the acceleration measurement, you can
measure the time that you need to reach a specif-
ic speed/distance. For the best possible measure-
ment readings, Audi recommends limiting the
ESC or turning it off. Keep in mind that the envi-
ronmental conditions and tire properties can af-
fect the results of the measurement.
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by
using an infrared camera to monitor the area in
front of your vehicle, within the limitations of the
system. It can display objects up to a distance of
approximately 1,000 feet (300 m).
Pedestrians, cyclists, and wild animals are de-
tected by measuring the temperature difference
between the object and the background. Pedes-
trians, cyclists, and wild animals will not be de-
tected if the temperature difference is too small.
The pedestrian, cyclist, and wild animal marking
feature is deactivated at temperatures above ap-
proximately 77 °F (25 °C) and when it is light
outside.
Opening the acceleration measurement
►
Select in the instrument cluster: vehicle func-
tions tab > button > Acceleration measure
WARNING
Your focus should always be on driving your
vehicle safely. As the driver, you have com-
plete responsibility for safety in traffic. Only
use the acceleration measurement function
on closed courses to reduce the risk of acci-
dents.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.
Tips
The camera for the night vision assist is located
in the vehicle's radiator grille ðpage 130. Make
sure the night vision camera is not covered by
stickers, deposits, or any other obstructions be-
cause this can impair the night vision assist func-
tion. Follow the information about cleaning
ðpage 296.
The acceleration measurement was calibrated
using the largest possible summer tire/rim
combination available at the factory. Using a
different tire/rim combination could affect
the accuracy of the measurement.
