Outside mirrors
If yo u cannot see the traffic behind the tra iler
with the standard exterior mirrors, then you
must attach additiona l exterior mirrors . Adj ust
them so you have a sufficient visibility behind
you .
Exterior lighting
Follow the legal regulat ions regard ing the light­
ing equipment on your trailer . Contact an author ­
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili­
ty for more information.
Before starting to drive, check all lighti ng equip­
ment on the hitched trailer.
The headlight range contro l adjusts automatical­
l y to the light range of the headl ights.
Safety chains
Make sure the safety chains are correctly applied
when pull ing a trailer . The chains should hang
enough so that the trailer can dr ive around
curves. However, they must not touch the
g ro und .
(D Tips
-Use chocks whe n parking on incl ines if the
trailer is load ed.
- We recommend also hav ing the veh icle in­
spected between the inspect ion intervals if
you are towing a trailer frequently.
- Avo id driving with a trailer during the vehi­
cle break- in period .
Driving with a trailer
Driving with a trailer requires extra caution.
Speed
Adhere to the legal speed limits. Follow the legal
regulations specific to the country.
As the speed increases, the driving stability of
the trai ler decreases. Therefore you should not
exceed the maximum legal speed limit when
u. there are unfavorable road, weather and/or wind 00
~ conditions . This especially applies when driving
~ downhill.
0 N > 00
Trailer towing
You m ust always reduce your speed as soon as
you notice even the slightest swinging motion of
the tra iler. Never try to "stra ighten out" the tra il­
er by acce lerating.
T he weight distribution is very poor if the vehicle
is empty and the trai ler is loaded . However if you
must drive under these circumstances, then dr ive
especially slowly .
Brakes
Brake in a timely manner. Downshift before driv ­
ing down hill so that t he engine can assist with
braking ~.&. .
When using a trailer w it h overrun brakes, first
brake gently then quickly. This reduces the r isk of
jerking while braking if the trailer wheels lock up .
Engine coolant temperature
Pay attention specifically to the coo lant tempera­
ture display when there are high outside temper­
a tur es, and when driving on long inclines
~page 11. Shift to a hig her gear in a timely man­
ner .
A WARNING
= -
Constant braking causes the brakes to over-
heat and substantially reduces braking per­
formance, increases braking distance or caus­
es complete failure of the brake system.

F ig . 122 De tect ion range
A ss istance systems
T he adaptive cruise cont rol system is a combina­
tion of speed and distance regu lation.
It assists
the driver by both regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d istance to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, w ith in 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 . T his increases d riving comfort during long
trips o n highways and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adap tiv e crui se con trol do ?
The adaptive cru ise control sys tem uses radar .
The radar is subject to designated system limits
¢ page 124 .
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 ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cruise control
system automat ically brakes to match that ob­
ject's speed and t hen maintains the stored d is­
t a nce. As soon as t he sys tem does not de tec t a
vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise cont ro l ac ­
ce lerates up to the stored speed .
Within the lim its of t he sys tem, adapt ive cru ise
contro l can brake in stop -and-go t raff ic until t he
vehicle is s tat iona ry and then begin driving again
under certain conditions ¢
page 12 7, Driving in
stop-ond-go traffic .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switc h adap tive cr uise control o n, you
can set the cur rent speed as the "contro l speed"
¢ page 12 5, Switching on/off .
When driving, yo u can stop cru ise cont rol
¢ page 127 or change the speed ¢page 126 at
any t ime .

General information
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise contro l/Audi pre
sense front
Fig . 1 23 Front o f veh icle: sensor
The rada r sensor area r:!) fig. 123 must not be cov­
ered with stickers, deposits or any other obstruc­
tions as it may impair the function of the adap ­
tive cruise control or the pre sense front . For in­
formation on cleaning,
see ¢ page 354 . The
same applies for any modifications made in the
front area .
The funct ion of the adaptive cruise contro l sys­
tem or pre sense front is limited in some condi ­
tions:
-Vehicles can only be detected when they are
within the sensor range
¢page 123, fig. 122 .
-The system has a lim ited abi lity to detect
vehicles that are a short d istance ahead , off to
the side of your vehicle or moving into your lane .
-Objects that are difficu lt to detect such as mo­
torcycles, vehicles with h igh ground clearance
or an overhang ing load are detected late or not
detected at all.
-When dr iving through curves ¢ page 125.
-When the vehicle is stationary ¢ page 125.
A WARNING
Always pay attent io n to the traffic aro und you
when adaptive cruise control is switched on .
As the driver, you a re st ill respons ible for your
own speed and the distance to othe r vehicles.
Th e adapt ive cr uise control is u sed to assis t
you . The driver must a lways take act ion to
avoid a collision . The driver is always responsi ­
ble for brak ing at the correct time .
124
-For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cru ise control when dr iving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather (such
as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplan­
ing). Using the system under these cond i­
tions could result in a co llision .
-Switch adaptive cruise cont rol off tempora­
rily when dr iv ing in turning lanes, on ex­
pressway ex its or in construction zones. This
prevents the veh icle from accelerating to
the stored speed when in these situat io ns.
-The adap tive cruise contro l system will not
brake by itself if you put yo ur foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so c an override the
speed and distance regulation .
- Adapt ive cruise control does not respond to
peop le, animals, or crossing or oncoming
objects .
-The funct ion of the radar se nsors can be af­
fected by ref lective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice .
~ Note
The sensor can be d isplaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and underbody . This can impair the adaptive
cruise control. Have an authorized A udi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility check their
f u nct ion.

¢ fig. 134 and a warning tone will warn you
about the danger .
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there will a lso be an
acute warning in the form of
sharp braking. If you do not react to the acute
warn ing, pre sense front can brake with increas ­
ing force within the limits of the system . T his re­
duces the vehicle speed in the event of a coll i­
sion .
Autom atic deceleration
Depending on the speed, pre sense front can de­
cel erate automatica lly
shortly before a collision:
-if there are stationary vehicles when you are
traveling at speeds up to approx imately 28
mph (45 km/h)
-if there are veh icles dr iv ing or stopped ahead
whe n you are traveling at speeds up to approxi­
mately 155 mph (250 km/h)
Autom atic bra king force inc rea se
If pre sense front determines that you are not
braking strongly enough when a co llision is imm i­
nent, it can inc rease the braking force, depending
on the situation and speed:
-if there are stationary vehicles when you are
traveling at speeds up to approx imately 50
mph (85 km/h)
-if the re are ve hicles driving or stopped ahead
when you are traveling at speeds up to approxi­
mately 155 mph (250 km/h)
A WARNING
Pre sense front cannot ove rcome the laws of
physics . It i s a system des igned to assist and
132
it cannot prevent a coll is io n in eve ry ci rc u m ­
stance . The driver m ust always intervene. The
driver is always respons ible for braking at the
correct time . Do not let the inc reased safety
provided tempt yo u into tak ing risks . This
could inc rease your r isk of a co llision.
-Keep in mind that pre sense front can pro­
vide war nings or b rake unexpectedly. Al­
ways secure a ny cargo or objects that yo u
a re transporting to reduce t he ris k of dam­
a ge or inj ury.
-The system can dep loy in co rre ctly due to
