In complex junction situations, the intersection crossing assist can warn the driver of approaching cross traffic. The system monitors the area in front of and at the side of the vehicle on junctions and exit roads using the sensors built into the vehicle. Within system limits, the system detects approaching objects such as cars. The system can also assist the driver at junctions and exit roads with poor visibility and provide a warning of a potential collision with approaching cross traffic.

A multistage warning is initiated in situations that are deemed critical, first with a visual and acoustic warning, and if the driver fails to react, a warning
brake jolt follows. The system operates at speeds up to 30 km/h, brake jolts are performed up to 10 km/h.

Audi driver assistance systems work only within system limits and are intended to assist the driver. The driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and is required to remain attentive at all times.
