-For reas ons of safety, cruise contro l should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
t ions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydrop laning) -risk of acci­
dent .
- Turn off the cruise control temporari ly when
enter ing turn lanes, highway exit lanes or in
construction zones.
- Please note that inadvertent ly "rest ing"
yo ur foot on the accelerator peda l causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is be­
c a use the cruise co ntro l is ove rri dden by the
dr iver's acceleration .
-If a brake system malfunc tion such as ove r­
he ating occu rs when the c ruise control sys­
tem is switche d on, the braking func tion in
the system may be switche d off . The other
c ruise control functions remain active as
long as the indicator light

- Vehicles with manua l t ransmission: You can
attain the set speed only if the gear t hat is
currently engaged will allow it, or if it does
not tax t he engine and allows it to run
smooth ly. Therefore shift i nto a higher or
l ower gear in a time ly ma nner.
- The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes app ly automatically .

Audi adaptive cruise
control and braking
guard
Introduction
App lies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise co ntrol
The adaptive cruise control system assists the
driver by regu lating vehi cle speed and helping to
maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead,
within the limits of the system.
If the system de­
tects a moving vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise
control can brake and then accelerate your vehi­
cle. This helps to make driving more comfortable
on long highway stretches.
The braking guard system can warn you about an impend ing collision and initiate braking maneu ­
vers
¢ page 95.
Adaptive cruise control and braking guard have
technical limitations that you must know, so
p lease read this section carefu lly, understand
how the system works and use them properly at
all times.

Fig. 93 Fr ont of th e veh icle : Posit ion of radar sensor
The area that contains the radar sensor¢ fig. 93
must never be covered by stickers or other ob­
jects or obstructed with dirt, insects, snow or ice
that will inte rfe re with the adapt ive cr uise con­
trol system and brak ing guard. For information
on cleaning, refer to ¢
page 184. The same ap­
p lies for any mod ificat ions made in the front
area. T
he function of the adaptive cruise cont ro l sys­
tem and braking guard is limited under some
condit ions:
- Ob jects can on ly be de tected when they are
with in sensor range¢
page 91, fig. 96.
-The system has a limited ability to de tect ob­
jects that are a short distance ahead, off to the
side of your vehicle or moving into your lane .
- Some kinds of veh icles are hard to detect; for
examp le motorcycles, vehicles with high
ground clearance or overhanging loads may be
detected when it is too late or they may not be
detected at all.
- When driving through curves
¢page 90 .
-Stationa ry objects ¢ page 90.
,&_ WARNING
-= -Always pay attention to traffic when adaptive
cruise control is switched on and braking
g uard is active. As the driver, you are still re­
sponsib le for start ing and for maintai ning
speed and distance to other objects. Braking
g uard is used to assist you . The drive r must
a lways take action to avo id a col lision . The
d river is always responsible for bra kin g at the
cor re ct t ime.
- I mp roper use of adaptive cruise control can
cau se collisions, o ther accidents and serious
pe rsonal injury.
- Never let the comfort and conve nience that
adapt ive cr uise control and braking guard
offer distrac t you from the need to be alert
to traffic con dit ions and the need to remain
i n full control of your vehicle at all times,
- Always remember that the adaptive cruise
control and braking guard have limits -they
will not slow the vehicle down or maintain
the set distance when you dr ive towards an
obstacle or somethi ng on or near the road
that is not moving, such as vehicles stopped
in a traff ic jam, a sta lled or d isabled vehicle.
If registered by the radar sensor, vehicles or
obstacles that a re not moving can t rigger a
coll is io n warning and if confi rmed by the
video came ra, an acute collision war ning.

Fig. 107 Rear of the vehicle: positio n of the sensors
Side assist functions at speeds above approxi­
mately 19 mph (30 km/h).
@ Vehicles that are approaching
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
critical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faster a vehicle approaches, the sooner the display in the exterior mirror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indicated in the
exterior mirror if they are classified as critical for
a lane change. All vehicles detected by side assist
Audi side assist
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
© Vehicles left behind
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the ve­
hicle and your vehicle is less than 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 between the vehicle and your vehi­
cle is greater than 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 certain situations, the dis­
play in the exterior mirror may turn on even
though there is no vehicle located in the area that is critical 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 the vehicle in anoth­
er 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 one lane over from
the adjacent lane.
- if side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the rada r senso rs¢
fig. 107 with
stickers, deposits, bicycle wheels or other ob­
jects, because this will affect the function. Do not
u se side assist when towing a trailer. For infor­
mation on cleaning, refer to¢
page 184.
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 always responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.

Driving safety
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
¢ page 55.
A WARNING
Drivers who are unbelted, out of position or
too close to the airbag can be seriously in­
jured by an airbag as it unfolds. To help re­ duce the risk of serious personal injury:
- Always adjust the driver's seat and the
steering wheel so that there are at least
10 inches (25 cm) between your breastbone
and the steering wheel.
- Always hold the steering wheel on the out ­
side of the steering wheel rim with your
hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tions to help reduce the risk of personal in­
jury if the driver's airbag inflates .
- Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position or with your hands at
other positions inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steering wheel hub . Holding
the steering wheel the wrong way can cause
serious injuries to the hands, arms and head
if the driver's airbag deploys.
- Pointing the steering wheel toward your
face decreases the ability of the supplemen­
tal driver's airbag to protect you in a colli­
sion.
- Always sit in an upright position and never
lean against or place any part of your body
too close to the area where the airbags are located .
- Before driving, always adjust the front seats
and head restraints properly and make sure
that all passengers are properly restrained.
- Never adjust the seats while the vehicle is
moving . Your seat may move unexpectedly
and you could lose control of the vehicle.
- Never drive with the backrest reclined or
tilted far back! The farther the backrests are
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the safety belt and improper seating position.
- Children must always ride in child safety
seats
¢page 151. Special precautions ap­
ply when installing a child safety seat on the
front passenger seat¢
page 129 .

Proper seating position for the front
passenger
The proper front passenger seating position is
important for safe, relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
that you adjust the seat for the front passenger
to the following position :
.,. Move the front passenger seat back as far as
possible . There must be a minimum of 10 in­
ches (25 cm) between the breastbone and the
instrument panel¢,&. .
.,. Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an upright position and your back comes in full
contact with it whenever the vehicle is moving.
.,. Applies to vehicles with adjustable head re­
straints: Adjust the head restraint so the upper
edge is as even as possible with the top of your head. If that is not possible, try to adjust the
head restraint so that it is as close to this posi­
tion as possible .
.,. Keep both feet flat on the floor in front of the
front passenger seat.
.,. Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
¢ page 124.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see ¢
page 54.
A WARNING
Front seat passengers who are unbelted, out
of position or too close to the airbag can be
seriously injured or killed by the airbag as it
unfolds . To help reduce the risk of serious per­
sonal injury :
- Passengers must always sit in an upright po­ sition and never lean against or place any
pa rt of their body too close to the area
where the airbags are located.
- Passengers who are unbelted, out of posi­
tion or too close to the airbag can be seri­
ously injured by an airbag as it unfolds with
great force in the blink of an eye .
-Always make sure that there are at least 10
inches (25 cm) between the front passen­
ger's breastbone and the instrument panel.
