A WARNING
Following other vehicles too closely in
creases the risk of coll is ions and ser ious
personal injury .
- Sett ing short distances to the traffic
ahead reduces the time and distance
available to bring your vehicle to a safe
stop and makes it even more necessary
to pay close atten tion to traffic.
- Always obey applicab le traffic laws, use
good judgment, and se lect a safe follow
ing d istance for the t raff ic, road and
weather conditions .

Audi adaptive cru ise control and brakin g guar d 97
-If a co llision is imminent, the system will
first provide an
acute wa rnin g by briefly and
sharp ly app lying the brakes .
- If you do not react to the ac ute warning,
braking guard can brake within the limits of
the system. This reduces the vehicle speed
in the event of a coll is ion.
- At speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h), the sys
tem can in it iate a complete decelerat ion
shortly before a collis ion
1>.
- If the braking guard senses that you are not
braking hard enough when a collision is im
minent, it can increase the braking force.
Which function s can be controll ed?
You can switch braking guard and the dis
tance/approach warning on or off in the radio
or MM I
¢ page 9 7, Settings in the radio/
MMI.
A WARNING
Lack of attention can cause col lis ions, oth
er accidents and serious persona l injuries.
The braking guard is an assist system and
cannot prevent a coll is ion by itself. The
driver must always intervene. The d river is
always responsib le for br aking at the cor
rect time .
- Always pay close attention to traffi c,
even when the bra king g uard is switched
on . Be ready to intervene and be ready to
take complete control whenever necessa ry. A lways keep the safe and lega l dis
tance between your vehicle and vehicles
up ahead.
- Braking guard works w ith in limits and
will not respond outs ide the system lim
its, for example when approaching a
stopped vehicle or stationary obstacle
(end of a traff ic jam or vehicle that has
broken down in traffic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor
for the braking guard wo rks only within
defined detection and ra nge limits that
1
> T hi s is not ava ilable in some countries .
may prevent the proper detection of oth
er vehicles .
- The radar sensor's function and range
can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray. Moving ve hicles up ahead may not
be prompt ly detected or may not be de
tected at all.
- Reflective surfaces incl uding crash barri
ers or tunne l entrances may impair the
function of the radar senso r.
(D Tips
- Yo u can cancel the bra king that is in itiat
ed by the system by braking yourself, by
accelerating not iceably or by swerving.
- Braking guard error messages
¢page 98.
- Keep in mind that braking g uard can
brake unexpected ly. Always secure any
cargo or objects that you a re tra nsport
