A5 Cabriolet Driver Aids

Behind the wheel
Everything where it should be
The A5 cabin puts some premium luxury cars to shame with its level of refinement, attention to detail and superb finish. And, as you would expect from Audi, the instrumentation is the embodiment of clarity. Thanks to the cockpit's ergonomics, your hand falls naturally to the control you need. It all helps to create an instinctive, intuitive and satisfying driving experience.

The Driver's Information System
The Driver's Information System (DIS) is a large, clear digital display in the centre of the instrument panel. It provides a range of information - from the outside temperature to the estimated range possible with the current amount of fuel. The DIS comes with a colour display as standard on SE and S line models

Drive in comfort
Adjustments on the driver's seat and steering wheel help you find your perfect driving position. The intuitive switches for adjusting the seats are conveniently located on the side on the seat.

Interior space
Seats four comfortably

The A5 Cabriolet offers practical comfort as well as style. Whether the roof is up or down, there is generous head and legroom in the cabin to sit four adults comfortably. This is due to the fabric hood taking up less space than a conventional hard top when folded.

Keep you cool
Leather seats with heat reflection technology

With the solar-heat reflecting leather seats, you can drive in style and keep your cool. Due to a special colour pigmentation, the leather is prevented from getting extremely hot when in strong sunlight and the surface temperature can be reduced by up to 20 °C below an untreated seat. Seats are available in Alcantara, Milano and Fine Nappa leather and standard on SE and S line models.

Audi lane assist
Stay in lane

The optional Audi lane assist helps prevent you from drifting out of your chosen lane. A tiny image recognition camera watches the lane markings on either side. If you veer too far right or left, the system knows you're in danger and vibrates the steering wheel to alert you. If you change lanes using your indicators, the system knows that's safe and temporarily switches itself off.

Parking Systems
Three options for effortless parking

Audible tones to guide you
When you reverse, the Audi Acoustic Parking System is activated. It sounds an intermittent tone if there are obstacles behind the car. The nearer you get, the more frequent the tones. The sound becomes continuous at just 30cm from the obstacle.

More precise parking
The Audi Parking System Plus uses sensors discreetly located in the front and rear bumpers. When obstacles are detected you are alerted by acoustic signals and a graphic display in the cockpit.

A better view
With Audi Parking System advanced a small camera in the boot lid has a wide angled lens that provides a 130° view to the rear, displayed on the Multi Media Interface screen. The image is overlaid with coloured graphics and shows the path the vehicle will take based on the position of the steering wheel. With blind spots minimised, the driver is able to park effortlessly in even the tightest of parking spots.

Audi side assist
Safe lane changing

The optional Audi side assist offers safe lane-changing even if there's another vehicle in your blind spot. At speeds over 40mph, it monitors the area to the rear and sides of the car and detects whether the lane is occupied by another vehicle. If it is, LEDs on the corresponding door mirror warn you before you begin to pull out.
