Audi adaptive cruise
control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

B8V-0126

Fig. 108 Detection range
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina-
tion of speed and distance regulation. It assists
the driver by both regulating the speed and
maintaining a distance to the vehicle driving
ahead, within the limits of the system. If the sys-
tem detects a vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive
cruise control can brake and accelerate your vehi-
cle. This increases driving comfort during long
trips on highways and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses radar.
The radar is subject to designated system limits
=> page 119.
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise control system. The stored speed is main-
tained. When approaching a vehicle ahead and
the system detects it, the adaptive cruise control
system automatically brakes to match that ob-
ject's speed and then maintains the stored dis-
tance. As soon as the system does not detect a
vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise control ac-
celerates up to the stored speed.
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can brake in stop-and-go traffic until the
vehicle is stationary and then begin driving again
under certain conditions > page 122, Driving in
stop-and-go traffic.
