Z\ WARNING
It is dangerous to activate cruise control and

Setting the distance
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

Fig. 117 Operating lever: setting the distance
> Tap the switch to display the distance that is
currently set > fig. 117.
> To increase or reduce the distance in incre-
ments, tap the switch upward/downward again.
The distance between the two vehicles will
change in the instrument cluster display.
When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the
adaptive cruise control system brakes to match
that vehicle's speed and then adjusts to the set
distance. If the vehicle driving ahead accelerates,
then the adaptive cruise control will also acceler-
ate up to the speed that you have set.
The higher the speed, the greater the distance
=> A\. The Distance 3 setting is recommended.
That is equal to the general recommendation of
“half the speed shown on the speedometer”.
The distances provided are specified values. De-
pending on the driving situation and how the ve-
hicle ahead is driving, the actual distance may be
more or less than these target distances.
If you change the time gaps, the value you have
just set appears briefly in the instrument cluster
display, for example [Eg for Distance 3. This only
occurs if the adaptive cruise control is not cur-
rently shown in the display > page 120, fig. 113.
Distance 1: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 92 feet (28 m) when traveling at 62 mph (100
km/h), or a time distance of 1 second.
Distance 2: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 118 feet (36 m) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.3 seconds.
Distance 3: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 164 feet (SO m) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.8 seconds.
Distance 4: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 219 feet (67 m) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 2.4 seconds.
Distance 5: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 328 feet (100 m) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 3.6 seconds.

ZA WARNING
When setting the distance, the driver is re-
sponsible for adhering to any applicable legal
regulations.

sense basic, the front safety belts are also re-
versibly tensioned when needed. The pre sense
front is also active when adaptive cruise con-
trol* is switched off.

ZA\ WARNING
Also follow the general instructions found in
= A in General information on page 119.
G) Tips
— Certain pre sense functions switch off when
driving in reverse.
— The pre sense functions may not be availa-
ble if there is a malfunction in the ESC sys-
tem or the airbag control module.
— Note that the reversible belt tensioner on
the front passenger's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
— Certain Audi pre sense front functions are
unavailable or have limited availability for
approximately 20 seconds after starting the
vehicle (may be longer depending on the
driving situation).
— Switch the pre sense off when you are not
using public streets or when loading the ve-
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship, or
other type of transportation. This can pre-
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.
ONT ees
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic

The pre sense basic functions are activated at a
speed of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or
higher.
The following functions can be triggered under
certain conditions within the limits of the sys-
tem:
—Tensioning of the safety belts (for example,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts
have reversible belt tensioners. If a collision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to trigger again.
— Initiating the closing of the windows and the
panoramic glass roof* (for example when un-
der- or oversteering).

Audi pre sense


Fig. 120 Instrument cluster: approach warning
Description
Within the limits of the system and depending
on the situation and speed, pre sense front can
warn you about impending collisions with sta-
tionary, stopped, and moving vehicles and ini-
tiate appropriate braking measures.
If detection is not possible, then pre sense front
does not react.
The following functions trigger in conjunction
with pre sense basic at corresponding vehicle
speeds:
— Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts
— Closing the windows and panoramic glass roof*
Early warning/acute warning
The system can provide visual and audible warn-
ings when dangerous situations are detected. The
early warning may occur if:
—a vehicle driving ahead brakes strongly,
— your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 50 mph (30 to 85 km/h) and
it approaches a stationary vehicle.
— your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 155 mph (30 to 250 km/h)
and it approaches a vehicle that is clearly trav-
eling more slowly or a vehicle in your direction
of travel that is stopped.
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi-
ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking >

You can open the active lane assist display using
the buttons in the multifunction steering wheel
=> page 17 or > page 20.

If the system is switched on but is not ready to
provide warnings, one of the following could be
the cause:
— There is no lane marker line
— The relevant lane marker lines are not detected
(for example, markings in a construction zone
or because they are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting)
— The vehicle speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel
@) Tips
— Make sure the camera's field of view
=> fig. 122 is not obstructed by stickers or
anything else. For information on cleaning,

Parking space search
Applies to: vehicles with park assist

Fig. 142 Infotainment: notification to continue driving in
reverse (example: when parallel parking)
Searching for parking spaces
> Drive forward to the row of parking spaces ata
low speed. For the best parking results, the ve-
hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from
the row of parking spaces.
> The parking space search is first done on one
side of the lane. To switch the side for the park-
ing space search, activate the turn signal for
that side.
Selecting the parking space
> If the system finds a parking space that could
be suitable for the vehicle length and width, it
will be displayed > fig. 141. The system auto-
matically suggests a parking option.
> Make sure that the parking space is suitable for
your vehicle.
> To switch between parallel (@), forward perpen-
dicular @) or reverse perpendicular © parking,
turn the control knob to the desired mode. Only
the parking options that are currently possible
are suggested.
> Drive forward until the instructions for auto-
matic parking appear in the instrument cluster
> /\ in Description on page 141, >©@ in De-
scription on page 141. As soon as the vehicle
142
has reached the correct position, a P appears in
the display over the selected parking space.
> Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.
> If you would like to park using the system, fol-
low the instructions in the instrument cluster.
Park assist only displays parking spaces that are
suitable for the length and width of the vehicle.
@) Note
— Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.
The driver must decide if the parking space
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
— Certain conditions near the parking space
may cause the parking process to fail, such
as if the parking space is near trees or posts,
or if the ground is covered, for example,
with gravel, snow, or ice.
G) Tips
— You can select a space from all of the park-
ing options found. The possible parking
space will be displayed until you are too far
away from it.
— If you did not drive past a suitable parking
space too quickly, the system can also be ac-
tivated afterwards by pressing the Pe button
and activating the turn signal.
— If suitable parking spaces are available on
both sides of the road at the same time
(such as on a one-way street), the direction
of the turn signal can also be changed in or-
der to use park assist.
— Park assist will switch off if your speed ex-
ceeds approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
Starting the parking process
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
The responsibility is with the driver when park-
ing.
Requirement: a suitable parking space must be
found and selected > page 142. The vehicle must
initially be stationary.
> Select the reverse gear after stopping briefly.
