Integrated Toll Module
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
Depending on the region, you can pay toll fees in
certain countries using the Integrated Toll Mod-
ule (ITM). It replaces a separate transponder for
detecting toll fees. The system electronics are in-
tegrated in the rearview mirror housing.
To use the ITM in toll zones, you must register
and activate it.
Registration
» Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Vehicle informa-
tion Toll module.
> Note the Integrated Toll Module ID.
> To register the ITM, go to the displayed web ad-
dress and follow the instructions.
Activation
> To activate the ITM, press CD in the MMI.
Entering the number of passengers
Depending on the number of passengers and the
region, a lower toll fee may be charged. You must
either enter the number of passengers or deacti-
vate the ITM based on the laws applicable in the
area where you are driving.
> To enter the number of passengers, select the
appropriate button in the MMI.
> To deactivate the ITM, press @ in the MMI.
@) Tips
— The driver is responsible for specifying the
correct number of passengers and activat-
ing or deactivating the ITM.
— Malfunctions can occur when detecting tolls
if both the ITM and transponder are activat-
ed. Deactivate the system not being used or
remove it as necessary.
—Ifa rearview mirror is replaced, you must
register the new ITM and remove the old
ITM from the account.
— The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
=> page 297.
Display
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
The selected number of passengers is displayed
in the MMI status bar > page 23.
The i symbol in the status bar and a notifica-
tion in the MMI will indicate if there is a faulty
connection between the ITM and the MMI or if
the ITM is faulty. If the connection interference
continues or the ITM is faulty, drive immediately
to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.

for assessing the traffic situation.

@ Tips
— The traffic signs on the road always take pri-
ority over the display. The driver is always
responsible for adhering to the regulations
applicable in the country where the vehicle
is being operated.
—When a route is planned using the naviga-
tion system*, then system displays messag-

Audi adaptive cruise
control
General information
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Depending on vehicle equipment, Audi adaptive
cruise control may consist of the following func-
tions:
Within the limits of the system, the adaptive
speed and distance control assists the driver in
controlling the speed and the set distance to the
vehicle driving ahead. If the system detects a ve-
hicle driving ahead, the adaptive cruise control
can brake and accelerate your vehicle within the
limits of the system. On open roads with no traf-
fic, it functions like a cruise control system. The
stored speed is maintained. When approaching a
vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive cruise control
system automatically brakes to match that vehi-
cle's speed and then maintains the set distance
as much as possible. As soon as the system does
not detect a vehicle driving ahead, adaptive
cruise control accelerates up to the stored speed.
In stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle may brake to a
full stop and then may also start driving again
automatically under certain conditions.
Applies to: vehicles with traffic jam assist: In
traffic jams or in stop-and-go traffic, the traffic
jam assist can assist the driver to stay within the
lane detected by the system > page 147.
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist: Predic-
tive control can adjust the set speed based on
traffic and road conditions > page 142.

ZA WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126.

) Tips
The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations > page 297.
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control



Fig. 113 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise control
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by ap-
plying the brakes.
— When driving into a curve > fig. 113 and out of
a curve, the system may react to a vehicle in the
neighboring lane and apply the brakes. You can
override the system by pressing the accelerator
pedal briefly.
— The system works with the various sensors and
cameras in the vehicle. Vehicles can only be de-
tected once they are within the area and range
covered by the sensors > page 127, fig. 106.
— When driving around tight curves, a vehicle
driving ahead that was previously detected may
no longer be detected, and the system may ac-
celerate unexpectedly. >

8W7012721BB
Driver assistance

Requirement: adaptive cruise control must be
switched on.
Overriding control
You can completely override the control, for ex-
ample when passing or if you would like to accel-
erate more quickly.
> To accelerate manually, pull the lever toward
you in the direction of the arrow and hold it
there, or press the accelerator pedal.
> To resume the usual cruise control, release the
lever or remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
When you are in the Driver assistance display,
the message Overridden will appear.
Decreasing the distance
The function decreases the set distance and pro-
vides assistance, for example when merging
when a lane is ending.
> To further reduce the distance to the vehicle
ahead temporarily, pull the lever toward your-
self in the direction of the arrow and hold it in
that position.
> To resume the system control, release the lever.
The adaptive cruise control reduces the distance
and, if necessary, accelerates the vehicle above
the set speed. When you are in the Driver assis-
tance display, the message Overridden will ap-
pear.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 126.
— Resting your foot on the accelerator pedal
could override the cruise control. Braking in-
terventions and corrective actions by the
system may not occur.

Driving in stop-and-go traffic
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

Applies to: vehicles with safe start monitor

Stopping with adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cruise control system also assists
you in stop-and-go traffic). Within the limits of
the system, your vehicle may brake and remain at
a stop if a vehicle driving ahead stops.
Starting to drive with adaptive cruise control
As long as the message a ready to drive and aA
is displayed, your vehicle will begin driving when
the vehicle ahead starts to move > /\.
If you are stopped for several seconds, your vehi-
cle will no longer drive autonomously for safety
reasons, and the message will turn off.
> To extend B ready to drive mode for several
seconds or reactivate, pull the lever briefly to-
wards you in the direction of the arrow

— If the message B& ready to drive!) appears,
your vehicle will start driving even if there is
an obstacle between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle ahead. To reduce the risk of an acci-
dent, always make sure there are no obsta-
cles between your vehicle and the vehicle

driving ahead.

@) Tips
For safety reasons, the adaptive cruise control
will only be active if
— The driver's safety belt is fastened
— All doors and the hood are closed
— Your vehicle is not stopped for a long period
of time
