Ass is t
The stored speed and the [ij;ji j~i4 (USA models)/
Ill (Canada mode ls) indicator light appear in the
instrument cluster disp lay . An add itiona l indica­
tor appears in the Head -up display*.
The speed is maintained by modifying engine power or through an active brake intervention.
A WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control system is in op­
eration. You are always responsible for your
speed and the distance between your vehi­
cle and other veh icles .
- For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads and when road condit ions are
poo r (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning), because t his increases the
risk of an accident.
- Switch the cruise cont rol off temporar ily
when d riving i n turn ing lanes, h ighway exits
or in construction zones .
- Please note tha t unconsciously "resting"
yo ur foot on the accelerator pedal prevents
the cruise control from braking. This is be ­
cause pressing the acce lerato r pedal ove r­
rides the cruise contro l system.
- If a brake system ma lf u nction such as over ­
heating occurs when the cruise control sys­
tem is sw itched on, the braking function in
the system may be sw itched off. The rest of
the cruise control system functions remain
active as long as the
[ij;(l)~i4 (USA models) I
i:I (Canada models) indicator light is on.
(D Note
Before driving a long d istance on a steep
downward hill, decrease your speed and se­
lect a lower driving gea r. This makes use of
the engine b raking effect and relieves the
brakes.
(0 Tips
The b rake lights turn on when the brakes are
app lied automatically .

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
App lies to : vehicles wi th Audi adap tive c ru ise con trol
Fi g. 89 Detect io n range
The adaptive cru ise cont rol system is a comb ina­
tion of speed and dis tance regu lation.
It ass ists
t h e d river by bo th regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d is ta nce to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, within the limits of the system. If the sys ­
tem detects a vehicle d riving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate yo ur vehi­
cle. T his makes driving more comfo rtable both
o n long st retches of hig hway and in stop-and-go
traffic .
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cru ise control system uses video, ra­
dar, ultrasound and navigat ion data . Vehicles
driv ing ahead can be recognized up to 650 feet
(200 m) away .
Pred ictive functions offer the drive r additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduct ion in fuel
consumption a nd CO2 em issions
r::::> page 102.
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise contro l system. The stored speed is main ­
ta ined . When approaching a vehicle d riving
ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system auto­
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set dis tance. As soon as
the system do es not detect a vehicle dr iv ing
ahea d, adaptive cruise cont rol accelerates up to
t h e s to red spee d.
In stop-a nd-go traffic, adap tive cruise control can
brake until the veh icle is sta tionary a nd then can .,.

also start driving again automatically under cer­
tain conditions
c!;> page 100.
In traffic jams or slow-moving traffic, congestion
assist can assist the driver¢
page 104 .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adaptive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed "
c!;> page 98, Switching on/off.
When driving, you can stop cruise control
c!;> page 100 or change the speed ¢ page 99 at
any time .
You can also set the dist ance to the vehicle d riv­
ing ahead and set the driving mode of the adap ­
tive cruise control¢
page 101 .
General information
Appl ies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise co ntro l
Fig. 90 Fro nt o f th e ve hicle : sensor s and video c amer a
The areas wi th the radar and ul trasonic senso rs
and the video camera¢
fig. 90 must not be cov­
ered by stickers, deposits or any other objects ,
because this can interfere with the adaptive
cruise control function. For information on clean­ ing, refer to¢
page 337. The same applies for
any modifications made in the front area .
In some driving situations , the adaptive cruise
control function is restricted:
- Vehicle s can only be detected when they are
within the sensor detection zones
¢ page 96,
fig . 89 .
-The system has a limited ability to detect
vehicles that are a short distance ahead, off to
the side of your vehicle or moving into your lane .
Assist
-Objects that are difficult to detect such as mo­
torcycles, v ehicles with high ground clearance
or an overhanging load are detected late or not
detected at all.
- When driving through curv es
c!;> pag e 98.
- When the vehicle is stationary ¢ page 98.
A WARNING
Always pay attention to the traffic around you
when adaptive cruise control is switched on .
As the driver, you are still responsible for your
own speed and the distance to other vehicles.
The adaptive cruise control is used to assist
you . The driver must always take action to
avoid a collision . The driver is always responsi­
ble for braking at the correct time .
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when the road surface is in poor condition and/or in bad weather condi ­
tions (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning). Using the system under
these conditions increases the risk of an ac­ cident.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora­ rily when driving in turning lanes, on ex­
pressway exits (except if predictive control
is switched on) or in construction zones.
This prevents the vehicle from accelerating
to the stored speed when in these situa ­
tions .
- The adaptive cruise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac ­
celerator pedal. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
- 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 crossing 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.

A WARNING
- Read the warnings on c::> & in General infor ­
mation on page 97
and on c::> & in Descrip­
tion on page 24 .
- Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when predictive control is switched on. The driver is always responsi­
ble for correctly assessing the traffic situa­
tion.
- There is an increase in the risk of an acci­
dent, because the system does not consider
"right of way" rules and also does not re­
spond to traffic lights .
- The system only considers traffic signs that
give a speed limit.
Assist
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The
driver is responsible for adhering to the per­
mitted speed.
- The speed at which a curve is driven through
does not necessarily match your own driving
style . Brake the vehicle yourself when need ­
ed to reduce the risk of an accident.
(D Tips
-If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
LED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not active.
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switching off predictive control, for exam­
ple when driving in low traffic zones, does
not cause the adaptive cruise control to
switch off .
-After switching on the ignition, the system
initially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driving onto highways
without a speed limit. Then the system ad­
justs to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driving through highway interchanges and
when driving on or off the expressway.
- There is no predictive control at speed limits
under 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam­
era and the actual speed is significantly
higher, then the speed limit will blink in the
display until you have reached the required
speed
c::> page 25.
- Incorrect values from the camera-based traffic sign recognition* or outdated naviga­
tion system map data can lead to incorrect
or implausible control.
- When route guidance is switched on, the
system adapts to the route provided by the
navigation system. Driving without route
guidance or leaving a route can result in im­
plausible control.
- The system switches
off when outside of a
road system that is recorded in the naviga­
tion system map data.
