Description
App lies to: vehicles wit h Audi adap tive c ruise control and p re
dic tive efficiency ass ist
Fig. 100 In stru men t cl uster: p redict ive contro l
General information
The predict ive control 1> uses the map informa
tion from the navigation system in order to react
proactively when driving. Information from the
camera -based traffic sign recognition* is also ap
plied to recognize traffic signs
c::> page 24. When
coming up to areas with speed limits or changes
in the course of the road (such as curves, inter
sections or traffic c ircles), the system brakes au
tomatically and then accelerates back up to the
set speed .
When adaptive cruise control is switched off, the
system only provides notifications without con
trolled interventions
c::> page 95.
The driver can override the predictive contro l at
any time by pressing the accelerator or brake
pedal. If the system changes the veh icle speed to
adapt to speed limits, you can change the speed
using the lever
c::>page 99 , fig . 95.
Always switch off the predictive control in
the following situations:
-When increased attention is needed from the
driver .
- In poor weather conditions such as snow or
heavy rain .
- When driving on roads in poor cond ition.

Indicator in the instrument cluster display
When the adaptive cruise control is switched on
for the first time, th e availability of predictive
control is displayed in the status line with the m essage
ACC: 1111 + B active.
The symbol appears when the system
is regulating the speed to match a speed limit. As
an example, the system is regulating a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) in this scenario. The speed is
then taken over by the adaptive cruise control.
The speed in the speedometer LED line also ad
justs to the speed to be maintained

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.

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: veh icles w ith Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist (lane departure warning) de
tects lane ma rker lines withi n the l imits of the
system using a camera in the windshield. If you
are approaching a detected lane marker line and it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system will warn you w ith corrective stee ring .
You can override this steering at any time . If you
112
pass over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate
lightly. In order for this warning vibration to oc
cur, it must first be switched on in the Infotain
ment system. Active lane ass ist is ready for oper
a tion when the lane marker line is detected on at
least one side of the vehicle .
T he system is des igned for driving on express
ways and highways and therefore on ly activates
a t speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h) .
Applies to vehicles with s ide ass ist*: if you acti
vate a turn signa l when active lane assist is ready
a nd it classifies a lane change as critical bec ause
of veh icles traveling a longside you or approach
i ng you, there will be noticeable corrective steer
i ng shortly before you leave the lane. This will at
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist* : the sys
tem does not warn when it is ready if you act ivate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker
lin e. In this case, it assumes that you are chang
in g lanes intent ionally.
Applies to vehicles with adaptive cruise contro l*:
there is no corrective steer ing or warnings if the
system recognizes a distinct passing maneuver.
If the conditions are met, congestion assist
switches on at speeds under approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
¢page 104.
_& WARNING
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using correct ive steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.

are indicated, at the latest, by the time they en
ter your "blind spot".
© Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
veh icle and your vehicle is less than approximate
ly 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior
mirror turns on as soon as the vehicle enters your
blind spot.
The display will not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ
ence in speed is greater than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti
cal for a lane change. For example:
- If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is
not adjacent to your current lane.
- If you are driving through a curve. Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane.
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roadside structures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions . The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar sensors ¢
fig. 112 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle racks or other objects,
because this will impair their function. Do not
use side assist when towing a trailer. For infor
mation on cleaning, refer to¢
page 33 7.
A WARNING
- Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a driver's attention. The driver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
Assist
-In some situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:
- If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy m ist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can adversely affect the sys
tem. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Facility check their func
tion.
