Driving in stop-and-go traffic
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
The adaptive c ruise control system assists yo u in
stop-and-go traffic. If an object that is detected
ahead stops, your vehicle will brake and stay at a
stop, within the limits of the system.

Criteria for switching off
The adaptive cru ise con trol switches off for safe­
ty reasons when stationary:
- when the d river 's doo r is open,
- when the vehicle is stationary for more than 3
minutes,
- when the driver's safety belt is not fastened .
A WARNING
If the message ACC autom. go1> appears, the
vehicle continues driving , even if there is an
obstacle between your vehicle and the ob je ct
ahead . This increases the risk of an accident .
@ Tips
If adaptive cruise control is act ive and your
vehicle does not start driv ing even though the
message
AC C autom . go1> appears, you ca n
start by tapping the a cce le ra tor ped al.
- If an obstacle is detected when dr iving with
adaptive cruise con trol, the system will re­
ques t you to beg in d riving
¢page 138. You
vehicle will begin dr iving more slowly. This
can also happen in situations where there is
no v is ible obstacle.

When approaching an object detected ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system brakes to match
that object's speed and then regu lates to the
stored distance. If the object detected ahead ac­ celerates, adaptive cruise control will also accel­
erate up to the stored speed.
The higher the speed, the greater the distance in

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense basic or Audi pre sense front
With in the limits of the system, p re sense basic
and pre sense front can in it iate steps to protect
vehicle occupants in certain dangerous s itua­
tions .
Critical driving situat ions can be recogn ized by
the pre sense front via a network of different ve­ hi cle systems and can take steps to prepare the
ve hicl e o ccupants for a potential collis ion.
The pre sense front works w ith a radar sensor
and a video camera*. It also functions within the limits of the system when adaptive c ruise con­
tro l* is switched off .

Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense basic
The function of the pre sense basic is activated at
a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or h igher .
The following functions can be triggered under certain condit ions w ith in the lim its of the sys­
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for examp le,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts have reversib le be lt tens ioners. If a collision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to tr igger aga in.
- Closing the windows and the sunroof* (for ex­
ample when over- or understeering): the win­
dows close until the re is only a small gap open
and the s unroof* closes all the way .
Audi drive select: the deployment time is adapt­ ed in dynam ic mode.
_&. WARNING ~
The pre sense basic cannot overcome natural
physical laws. It is a system desig ned to ass ist
and it cannot p revent a collision. Do not let
the increa sed safe ty p rovided tempt you into
t aking r is ks. This co uld in crease yo ur risk of a
collis ion .
- The system can dep loy inco rre ctly due to
system-specif ic limits.
(D Tips
- Certa in p re sense basic functions switch off
when ESC is swi tched off (sport mode) or
w hen driving in reverse. .,.

Audi pre sense front
Description
A pp lies to veh icles: with Audi pre sense front or Audi adapt ive
cr uise control
Pre sense front informs you if the distance to the
vehicle ahead falls below the safe distance for an
extended period of time.
It c an warn of a poss i­
b le co llision and initiate braki ng maneuve rs,
within the limits of the system.
When detected in time, the system can assess
dangerous s ituations where an object ahead
b rakes suddenly or if your own vehi cle is t raveling
at a high speed and approaching an object that is
mov ing more slowly. If detect ion is not possible,
then pre sense front does not react.

gerous s ituation that was detected by the sys­
tem , pre sense front provides assistance by ap­
plying t he b rakes .
- If a collision is imminent, the system will first
prov ide an
acute w arning by braking sharply .
You will also be made aware of the danger by the ins trument cluste r display
c:> fig . 125. For
veh icles with adaptive cru ise cont rol, the . in­
dic ator light a lso tu rns on .
- If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense front can brake w ith increasing force
w it hi n the lim its of the system
l )_ This reduces
the vehicle speed in the event o f a collis ion . The
message

- If p re sense front determines t hat you are not
braking strongly enough when a co llision is im­
m inent, it can increase the braking force.
A WARNING
-
- Pre sense front cannot overcome natura l
phys ica l laws. It is a system designed to as ­
sist and it cannot prevent a collision . The
driver m ust always intervene . The dr iver is
always responsible fo r braki ng at the correct
time . Do not let the in crease d sa fety prov id­

-Please note that the sensor does not always
detect all objects. This increases the risk of
a collision.
- Pre sense front does not react to people or
animals or objects that are crossing the ve­
hicle's path or are difficult to detect
¢ page 133.
-Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the function of the radar sensor and
the system's ability to detect a collision risk.
- Lack of attention can lead to collisions, oth­
er accidents and serious injuries. pre sense
front is an assistance system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself. The driver must
always intervene. The driver is always re­
sponsible for braking at the right time.
- Always pay attention to traffic, even when
pre sense front is switched on. Always be
ready to intervene and take over complete
control of the vehicle whenever it is neces­
sary. Always follow traffic laws regarding
maintaining a safe distance between your
vehicle and vehicles ahead.
- pre sense front works within certain limits
and cannot react to situations that are out­
side of the system limits, such as when ap­
proaching a stationary vehicle or a station­
ary obstacle (the end of a traffic jam or ave­
hicle that has broken down).
- Always keep in mind that the radar sensor
for pre sense front only works within de­
fined detection zones, which means other
vehicles may not always be detected cor­
rectly.
- The function and range of the radar sensor
can be impaired by rain, snow and heavy
mist. Vehicles ahead may not be detected
right away, or not detected at all.
- Reflective surfaces such as guard rails or en­
trances to tunnels may impair the function
of the radar sensor.
(D Note
The sensor can be disp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. Pre sense front can be impaired
by this. Have an authorized Audi dea ler or au-
Assist
thorized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion.
(D Tips
- You can cancel the bra king with increas ing
force that is initiated by the system by brak­
ing yourself, by acce lerating noticeably or
by swerving.
- For information on driver messages about
pre sense, refer to¢
page 142.
- Keep in mind that pre sense front can brake
unexpectedly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transporting to reduce
the risk of damage or injury.
- Certain pre sense front functions switch off
when ESC is switched off (sport mode) or
when driving in reverse.
- The pre sense front functions are not availa­
ble if there is a malfunction in the adaptive
cruise control* system¢

· Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi drive select
The vehicle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features. However, the eng ine and
steering are a lways affected.
Engine and automatic tr ansmiss ion
Depend ing on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission* respond more qu ickly or in a
more ba lanced manner to acce lerato r pedal
movements.
Adaptive damper s (Audi magnetic ride )*
The adaptive dampers use sensors to record in­
formation regarding steering movements, brak­
i ng and acce le ration operations by the dr iver,
r oad su rface, driving speed, and load. W it h Aud i
drive select you can adjust the adaptive dampers
spo rty (dynamic), comfortable (comfort) or ba l­
anced (auto).
Steering
The steering adapts in terms of steering ass is­
tance. There are d ifferent modes
c;;:> page 149.
Ind irect steering that moves easi ly as in comfort
mode is especia lly suited to long drives on a high ­
way. The dynamic mode provides sporty, direct
steering .
For vehicles with progress ive steering* the steer­
ing performance is more agi le .
Corn ering light *
The cornering light adjusts when driv ing on
cu rves at speeds between 6 mph (10 km/h) and
68 mp h (110 km/h). The pivoting act ion and the
li gh ting are also adapted to the mode.
Adaptive cruise control*
The behavio r whe n accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
Audi drive select mode. Adaptive cr uise control
also responds to the dr iving beh avior of the vehi­
cle ahead in a more conservative or sporty man-
ner .

Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) supports
driver safety. It reduces the risk of slipping and
improves dr iving stability. ESC detects crit ical sit­
uations suc h as the vehicle overstee ring and un­
de rs teer ing or the wheels are sp inning. The vehi­
cle is s tabilized by app ly ing the brakes or reduc­
i ng e ngine torque. Once t he ES C i s ac tiva ted, the
indicator light
DJ b li nks in the instrument clus ­
ter .
The fol low ing systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS preve nts the whee ls from lock ing whe n brak­
i ng. The vehicle can s till be steered even during
h a rd brak ing. Apply steady press ure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in t he
bra ke pedal indica tes th at the system is act ing to
s tabili ze the vehicle.
Brake assist system
The brake assist sys tem can decrease braking dis­
tance .
It increases brak ing power when the d rive r
p resses the brake pedal q uic kl y in eme rgency sit­
uations. Yo u m ust press and hold the b rake pedal
u nti l the dangero us si tuati on is over. In ve hicles
with adaptive cruise contro l*, the bra ke assist
system is more sensitive if the d istance detected
to the veh icle ahead is too small.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR red uces eng ine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning an d adapts the force to the road
conditions. This makes it easie r to sta rt, acceler ­
ate and drive up inclines .
Intelligent Technology
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
T he ED L brakes wheels t hat are spi nning and
transfe rs the drive power to the o ther dr ive
whee l or wheels if the vehicle is equ ipped with all
whee l drive *). T his function is not available at
higher speeds.
In extreme cases, ED L automat ica lly swi tches off
to keep the b rake o n the braked whee l from over­
heating. The vehicle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switc h on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendation
T he ESC he lps to s tabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Se lective w heel torque con trol is used w hen d riv ­
i ng on curves. The front whee l on the ins ide of
the curve or both wheels on t he i nsid e of the
c ur ve are braked se lective ly as needed . This al ­
lows more precise driving in c urves .
Automatic post -collision braking system
T he "Automat ic pos t-collis ion braki ng system"
ca n help to reduce the ris k of sliding and of othe r
collisions af ter an a cciden t. If th e ai rbag cont rol
module detects a collision above a certai n vehicle
speed, the vehicle is brake d by the ESC.
T he veh icle does not br ake au tomatic ally if:
- the dr iver presses the acce lera tor pedal, or
- the braking fo rce generated by the pressed
brake pedal is greater than the b raking force
that would be in itiated by the system, or
- the ESC, the brake system o r the veh icle electri­
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
- T he ESC and its i nteg rated systems ca nnot
over come the li mits posed by natu ral physi­
cal laws. This is espe cially impor tant on slip­
pery o r we t roads . If the systems beg in act­
ing to stabilize your veh icle, you should im ­
mediately a lter your speed to match the
road and tra ffic condit ions. Do not let the
