switch on once the veh icle speed exceeds approx­
imately 2 mph (4 km/h) and it is raining. The
higher the sensitivity of the ra in sensor that is set
(switch ® to the right), the earlier the wind­
shield wipers react to moisture on the wind­
shield. You can deactivate the rain sensor mode
in the Infotainment system, which switches the
intermittent mode on . To do this, select:

©-Single wipe. If you hold the lever in this posi­
tion longer, the wipers switch from slow wiping
to fast wiping .
®-Clean the windshield . The wipers wipe one
time after several seconds of driving to remove
water droplets . You can switch this function off
by moving the lever to position ® within
10 sec­
onds of the afterwipe. The afterwipe function is
r e activated the next time you switch the ignition
on.
Clean the headlights*. The headlight washer sys­
tem* operates only when the low beam head­
lights are on. If you move the lever into position
@, the headlights will be cleaned at fixed inter­
vals .
@-Wipe the rear window. The number of wipes
depends on the windshield wiper movement.
The rear wiper automatically switches on when
the reverse gear is selected and the front wind­
shield wipers are on and running.
(j) -Clean the rear window. The number of wipes
depends on how long the lever is held in position
(z). This may also clean the rearview camera, de­
pending on the vehicle equipment.
A WARNING
- The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver. The driver may still be responsible
for manually switching the wipers on based on visibility conditions.
- The windshield may not be treated with wa­ ter-repelling windshield coating agents . Un­
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark­
ness or low sun, can result in increased
glare, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent. Wiper blade chatter is also possible.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving ~ page 53, Replacing wiper
blades .
«1j) Note
-If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
52
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­ shield can damage the wiper blades.
- The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us­
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus­ ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
(D Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position .
- Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor
function . Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles for the windshield
washer system are heated at low tempera­
tures when the ignition is on.
- When stopping temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning the wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaner.

A WARNING
-Follow the installat io n instructions p rovided
with the roof ra ck sys tem. If you do not se ­
c u re the roof rac k sys tem and objec ts on the
roof cor rectly, they co uld come loose from
the vehicle and cause an accident .
- T he r is k of an accident increases when using
a roof rack system, because it changes the
driving c haracteristics by shifting the center
of gravity and/or the increasing the surface
area exposed to wind. You may need to
adapt your driv ing style and speed to the
current conditions . We recommend that you
do not dr ive faster tha n 80 mph (130 km/
h).
- Distribute the cargo evenly on the roof rack
and do not exceed the maximum width o r
the max imum tota l roof load weight .
- Before every tr ip, a ll bolts and co nnect ions
on the roof rack must be checked. Tighten
them if necessary and re che ck t hem regular­
ly. If you do not do th is, there is a higher
risk of the roof rack o r the a ttachme nts
loosening or fa lling off .
(LlJ) Note
-If yo u use o ther roof l uggage rac k systems
o r do no t instal l the roof rac ks as s pec ified,
then a ny damage to the vehicle is no t cov ­
ered by the warranty . Caref ully follow t he
assembly and insta llation instructions i n­
cluded with the roof rack ca rrier system.

- T o red uce the risk of damage, you must re ­
move the roof rack and attachment before
tak ing yo ur vehicle thro ugh an a utomat ic
car wash.
- Ma ke sure that the luggage compartment
lid and the panorama g lass roof* do not
come into contact with objects on the roof
w hen they are open.
@) For the sake of the environment
Your vehicle wi ll use more fue l due to the in­
creased wind resistance. So remove the roof rack after us ing it.
(D Tips
Applies to: vehicles with roof racks supplied
by the factory: when installing the roof rack
supplied by the factory on the roof ra il, sensor
technology is used to adjust the ESC to any p ossib le change in the vehicle's cen ter of
g ravity resulting from the load.

On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise control syst em . Th e stored spe ed is main­
tained. When approach ing a veh icle driving
ahead, the adaptive c ruise control system auto­
mat ica lly brakes to mat ch that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set distance . As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise contro l accelerates up to
the stored speed.
In stop -and -go traff ic, adaptive cru ise control can
brake unt il the vehicle is stat io nary and then can
also start driving again automatically under cer­
tain
condi tions ¢ page 106.
In traffic jams or stop -and -go traffic, traffic jam
assist can assist the
driver ¢ page 109 .
Which function s can be contr olled ?
When you switch adapt ive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
¢ page 104, Swi tching on/off.
When driving, you can stop c ruise contro l
¢ page 107 or change the speed ¢ page 106 at
any time.
You can a lso set the distance to the vehicle driv ­
ing ah ead and s et the driv ing mode of the adap­
tive cruise

Fig. 10 0 Fro nt of the v ehi cle : se nso rs a nd v ideo cam era
The areas w ith the rada r and u ltrasonic sensors
and the video
camera ¢ fig. 100 must not be cov­
ered by stickers, deposits or any other objects ,
because this can interfe re with the adapt ive
cru is e control funct ion. For information on clean-
A ssi st a nce systems
ing, see ¢ page 344 . The same applies fo r any
modifications made in the front area .
In some dr iving s it u ations, the adaptive c ruise
contro l func tion is restricte d:
- Veh icles can on ly be de tected when they are
w ith in the sensor detection zones
¢ page 102,
fig.
99 .
- The system has a limited ability to detect
ve hicles that are a short dis tance ahead, off to
t he side of your ve hicle or movi ng i nto yo ur
lane.
- Ob jects that are d ifficult to detect s uch as mo­
torcycles, veh icles with high gro und clea rance
or an overhanging load are detec ted late or not
detected at all.
- When driving through curve s

-W he n the veh icle is sta tionary r=;, page 104 .
A WARNING
Always pay at ten tion to the traffic around you
when adaptive cru ise con trol is switched on .
As the driver, you are still responsible for your
own speed and the d istance to other veh icles.
The adaptive cruise cont rol is used to assist
you. The driver must always take action to
avoid a collision . The driver is always responsi ­
bl e for braking at the correct t ime.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cr uise control when the road surface is in
poor condi tion and/or in bad weather condi­
tions (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hyd roplani ng) . Using the system under
these co ndi tions i ncrea ses the r is k of an a c­
cide nt.
- Sw itch adaptive cru ise con trol
off tempora­
r ily when dr iv ing in tu rning lanes, on e x­
p re ssway ex its (except if predictive con trol
is switched on) or in construct io n zones .
This prevents the vehicle from acce lerating
to the stored speed w hen in these situa­
tions.
- The adaptive cruise contro l system will not
brake by itself if you put yo ur foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so can over ride the
speed and d ista nce regulation .

Assistance systems
-When approaching stationary obstacles
such as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise con­
trol will respond with limited function.
- Adaptive cruise control does not respond to
people, animals, or cross ing or oncoming
objects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af­
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody . Th is can impair the adaptive
cruise control. Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.

vehicle
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise control can react to stationary vehicles
¢
fig. 102, as long as you are driving slower than
30 mph (SO km/h) and the system classifies the
possible passing maneuver as low . For example,
if a vehicle that was already detected
(D turns or
c h anges lanes, the adaptive cruise control reacts
to the stationary vehicle ahead of
it @ .

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: ve hicles w ith Audi p re se nse
W ith in the limits of the system, the pre sense
functions can in it iate measures in particularly
dangerous s ituat ions to protect the ve hicle pas ­
sengers and ot her r oad users.
- Due to the interl ink ing of various vehicle sys­
tems , crit ica l dr iv ing s ituat ions can be detected
by
pr e s ense basic and measu res fo r preventa­
t ive occ upan t protect ion are can be initiated.
- T he
pre sen se front system uses the data from
t h e adapt ive cr uise control* radar sensors and
t h e camera to calc ulate the probab ility of a col ­
lision . Within the limits of the system, an im ­
pending collision with vehicles can be detected
in both urban and rural speed ranges. In this
case, the system warns the driver visually,
acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if nec­
essary . If needed, it can initiate a partial or fu ll
deceleration to reduce the collision speed or to
avo id the co llision unde r ce rtain c ircumstances .
In conjunct ion with p re sense basi c/rear, the
front safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned
whe n needed. The pre sense front is also act ive
when adaptive cruise control* is switched o ff.
- Pr e se nse rear con tains pre sense basic func ­
tions. It uses the data from the side assist* ra­
dar sensors and calc ulates within the limits of
the system the probability of a rear end colli ­
sion with the vehicle behind you . Pre sense rear
is also active when s ide assist* is switched off .
112
-Within the limits of the system, pre sen se cit y
uses the camera data and can detect an im ­
pending collision with vehicles and pedestrians .
In this case, the system warns the driver visual­ ly, acoustical ly and w it h a jerk on the brakes if
necessary . If needed, it ca n initiate a full dece l­
erat ion to reduce t he coll is ion speed or to avoid
the collision under certa in circumstances . In
conjunction with p re sense basi c/rear, the front
safety belts are a lso reve rsibly te nsioned whe n
needed.
& WARNING
Read the genera l information inc::> .&. in Gen ­
eral information on page 103,

tem or t he airbag control module .
-Note that the reve rsib le belt tens ione r o n
the front passenger 's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
- Switch the pre sense off when yo u are not
using public streets or when loading the ve ­
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre­
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.

The pre se nse bas ic functions are activated at a
speed of approx imately 20 mp h (30 km/h) o r
highe r.
The following functions ca n be triggered u nder
certain co nd it io ns w it hi n the lim its of the sys­
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for examp le,
during heavy brak ing) : the front safety belts
have reversible belt te nsioners . If a collision
does not occur , the safety belts loosen slig htly
and are ready to tr igger aga in.

Turn a ssist
When start ing to dr ive and up to speeds of maxi­
mum 6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your vehicle from
colliding with an oncoming vehicle when turning left or right (available in certain co untries). The
braking intervent ion causes your vehicle to stay
in its lane.
A WARNING
-Pre sense front cannot overcome the laws of
physics . It is a system des igned to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
sta nce. The d rive r must a lways i ntervene.
T he d river is always respons ib le for b raking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks .
This cou ld increase your risk of a co llision .
-The system can deploy incorrectly d ue to
system -specific limits .
-Please note that the sensors and the camera
do not always detect all objects or lane
markings. This increases the risk of an acci ­
dent.
-Pre sense front does not react to people, an ­
ima ls or ob jects that are crossing the veh i­
cle's path or that are diff icu lt to detect
c::> &
in General information on page 103.
-Reflective ob jects s uch as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the function of the radar sensors and
the system's ability to detect a coll is io n risk.
{UJ) Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
