The text message ... (three whi te dots) appears if a setting cannot be
implemented with the operating lever . The following are possib le
reasons :
• If you pull the control lever towards you to resume speed but no
requested speed was set .
• If you push the lever up to increase (or down to reduce) speed
when no speed has been set previously .
• I f you push the lever up to increase (or down to reduce) speed
and this speed is outside the range from 20 to 95 mph (Canada
models : 30 to 150 km/h) .

controlled . The ACC system is not switched off, so increased alert­
ness is required. The following may be reasons for the text message
ACC Functiona lly limited:
• The ACC sensor is dirty. The ACC system is not reacting, or is not
react ing correctly, to veh ic les traveling ahead.
• I t is possible that you are driving on a road with very light traffic
without anything at the side of the road (e.g. guard rai ls, traffic
signs, trees). As soon as a vehicle is detected by the system again,
it returns to its control range and the text message disappears .
The ACC sensor is located in the right front trim grille::::>

fig. 122 . If there is a loss of operation due to heavy contamination,
this area should cleaned to restore proper operation .
ACC not available
The text message ACC not available appears , for example, if the
temperature of the brakes is excessive. Adaptive cruise control is
temporarily not availab le . A warning tone sounds as a reminder .
ACC not a vailable !
The text message ACC not ava ila ble! appears in the event of a
malfunction . Adaptive cru ise control is turned off . A warning tone
sounds as a reminder. Have the system inspected by a qua lified
dea lership .
ACC sensor blo cked !
The text message ACC s ensor blocked ! appears when the ACC
system can no longer guarantee safe detection of objects. Adaptive
cruise control is turned off . A warning tone sounds as a reminder.
To decide whether it is necessary to switch off the ACC (ACC sensor
b locked
!) or if it is only a temporary condition (ACC F unctionally
limited), the system wi ll a lso takes into consideration the outside
temperature and/or the windshield wiper operation.
The ACC senso r is dirty or b locked (e .g . leaves, snow).
The sensor should be cleaned to restore proper sensor function

Audi braking guard
Applies to vehicl es: wi th a dapt ive c ruise co ntrol
Description
Audi braking guard warns you of a threatening collision
with a vehicle ahead .
Fig. 142 Display in the
instrument cluster
The Audi braking guard is active from a speed of approx. 20 mph
(30 km /h) and works within the system limits~
page 130even when
the adaptive cruise control is deactivated .
A radar sensor is built into the front of the vehicle~
page 118,
fig. 122. The system is intended to measure the distance to reflec­
tive surfaces. If a measurement is not possible, the system does not
respond.
When the measurement has taken place, the system can assess a hazardous situation, when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes or when
your own vehicle is driving at high speed towards a much slower
vehicle ahead. As soon as the system assumes that a possible colli ­
sion with the vehicle ahead can only be avo ided by immediate all­
out braking or by an avoiding maneuver, a warning appears.
The system has a pre-set response time to be able to warn in good
time. This system response time is automatically reduced if you acce lerate actively, for example to join a highway. Braking, trans ­
verse acceleration and the steering angle can lead to a reduced
system response time. The warning is deactivated if you begin to
overtake with full acceleration .
The system draws your attention to two different hazardous situa ­
tions:
Distance
The distance warning is issued in the event of inadequate distance
to the vehicle ahead a period of more than 5 seconds . If the distance
is less than 30 feet (9 meters) at 50 mph (80 km/h), for example, an
optical display is faded in on the instrument cluster~ fig. 142.
If the vehicle ahead brakes sharply, a collision cannot be avoided,
even in the case of an immediate response. In this case , increase the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Speed
If there is a much slower vehicle ahead in your lane, or if the vehicle
ahead brakes sharply, the Audi braking guard calculates the point
from which a collision can only be avoided by all -out braking or by
~

T he warning is given in two stages:
• Pre-warning: A n op tica l disp lay a pp ea rs in th e in str umen t clus te r

& WARNING
Always pay attention to traffic , even when the Audi braking guard
is switched on . You are always responsible for your speed and the
distance between your vehicle and other vehicles .
• Always keep the legally stipulated safety distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead -danger of accident!
• The Audi brak ing guard does not respond outside the system
limits , for example if you approach a stationary obstacle (end of a
traff ic jam or breakdown vehicle ).
• Please observe that the Audi braking guard is subject to restric ­
tions in narrow bends due to the field of vision of the radar sensor.
This may possibly lead to obstacles not being detected.
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced by rain , snow and
heavy spray. This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inade ­
quately detected or , in some circumstances , not detected at all .
Always watch where you are driving.
• Reflecting objects such as e .g . crash barriers or the entrance to
a tunnel may impair the function of the radar sensor . •

- Rotate the cont ro l knob to adjust the displayed bright-
ness of the signal light on the outside mirrors .
The brightness of the signal light for both the informationa l and
alert stages is automatica lly adjusted to ambient light conditions. In
addition, you can adjust the
basic brightness separately, via the
brightness function
=> fig . 152.
While making the adjustment, the new brightness setting is
displayed briefly. The brightness displayed is that of the informa ­
tional stage signal. The alert stage signa l brightness is linked to the
informational stage signal brightness .
Controls and equip ­
ment
The informational stage signal brightness should be adjusted so
that you notice the signa l illumination when you look in the outside
mirror, but not when you look forward through the windshield.
In very dark or light surroundings, the automatic brightness setting
adjusts signal ligh t brightness to maximum or minimum intensity,
as needed . In circumstances such as these, you may not notice any
change in the brigh tness on the outside mirror when adjusting the
basic brightness.
You may not notice the change until lighting conditions are normal
again.
[ i ] Tips
• Side assist is not active when the basic brightness is adjusted.
The signal light comes on briefly to help you make the adjustment .
• Your settings are automatically stored and assigned to the
remote control key being used.•

Lane width
Fig. 153 Lanes of a
normal width are in
detection area
Fig. 154 Narrow lanes :
Side assist may detect
vehicles two lanes
away
Side assist's detection area is designed to cover lanes of standard
width to the left and right of your travel lane, depending on whether
you drive in the center of your lane or closer to the edge.
If you drive in narrow lanes, side assist's detection area may also
include other lanes -especially if you tend to drive on the edge of
your lane=> fig. 154. Under these conditions, vehicles can also be detected that are two
lanes away, and side assist then could switch
between the informational and warning stage signals.
When driving in very wide lanes, vehicles in the adjacent lane may
not be detected because they are not inside the detection area. •

Messages in instrument cluster display
If side assist turns off automatically, the indicator light on the
button will go out and you will see a message in the instrument
cluster display:
Audi side assist not available : sensors possibly blocked
The side assist sensors are built into the rear bumper on the left and
right (not visible on the outside)=? page 135, fig, 144. To ensure that
you do not adversely affect the way side assist functions, foreign
objects (such as stickers or bicycle racks) should not be attached to
the area on the rear bumper where the sensors are located. If side
assist functions are adversely affected, you will see this message in
the instrument cluster display. Remove anything that may be
blocking the sensors.
I f no vehicle is detected for a longer period of time while driving,
side assist will also switch off automatically.

App lies to vehicles : with automat ic transm ission
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The aut omatic transmission is electronically controlled.
The transmission is se lf adapting and will a ut oma tica lly se lect the
best shift program suited to the driving conditions and driving style.
The transmission will select one of the
eco nom y programs when
you drive at a steady speed or a g radually changing speed without
heavy acceleration. This achieves optimum fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting.
The transmission will automatically select the
s p ort y shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequent ly changing speeds . Upshifts are delayed to make full use
of engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds
than in the economy programs .
The se lect ion of the most su itable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process. The driver can also make the transmission
sw itch to a sporty program by
quick ly pressing down the gas peda l.
This causes the transmission to shift down to a lower gear to
achieve rapid acceleration, e.g. for quickly passing another vehicle .
You do not need to press the gas pedal into the kick-down range.
After the transm ission has upshifted, the original program is
selected accord ing to your driving sty le.
An additiona l shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uph ill and downhi ll gradients. ..,.

This keeps the transmission from shifting up and down unneces­
sari ly on hills. The transmission will shift down to a lower gear when
the driver presses the brake pedal on a downhi ll gradient. This
makes use of the braking effect of the engine without the need to
shift down manually. •

When accelerating , the transmission will automatically shift into the
next gear before the engine reaches its maximum RPM .
If you apply a light throttle when accelerating, tiptronic wi ll au to­
matically shift from 1st to 2nd gear to save fuel. If you apply a heavy
throttle, the transmission will s tay in 1st gear until near maximum
RPM is reached, or unti l the driver shif ts into 2nd gear.
If you take your foot off the accelerator peda l when driving down a
steep inc line, tiptronic wi ll downshift from the selected gear into
the neX1 lower gear until it reaches 1st gear, based on road speed
and engine RPM. Automatic downshifting is interrupted as soon as
you apply the thrott le again .
[ i ] Tips
• When you shift into the next lower gear, the transmission will
downshift only when there is no possibi lity of over -revving the
engine .
• When the kick-down comes on , the transmission wil l shift down
to a lower gear , depending on vehicle and engine speeds .
