CJ) Note
- If there is frost, make sure the windshie ld
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind­
sh ield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­
shield can damage the wiper blades.
- The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before
us­
i ng a car wash. This prevents the wipe rs
from sw itching on unintentionally and caus­
i ng damage to the w indshield wiper system.
(D Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can act ivate the
windsh ield wipers after the ign ition is
switched back on by moving the windsh ield
wiper lever to any pos it ion.
- Wo rn o r dirty windshield wipe r blades result
i n streak ing. This can affect the ra in sensor
fun ct ion . Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly .
- The washer fluid nozzles fo r the windshie ld
washer system are heated at low tempera ­
tures when the ignition is on.
- When stopp ing temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshie ld
wipers automatically reduces by one leve l.
Cleaning the wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaner .
~ Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position

~ Fo ld the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.
A WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi­

Assistance systems Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with t ires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter . The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the t ire speed rating. For mo re information
~page 341.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed s ignals, the Malfunction Indicator
L amp
(MIL) ¢..ij will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest autho rized Audi dealer for
assistance.
_& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the max imum speed rating
of the tires installed.
Speed warning system
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system.
-
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A wa rning tone will sound as soo n as yo ur speed
exceeds the s tored value sligh tly. The
[01 (USA
models)/
[01 (Canada models) indicator light
and a message appear in the instrument cluster
display at the same time. The
HI] / [0] indicator
light and the message turn off if the speed falls
back below the stored maximum speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would l ike to be reminded when yo u reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gen er-
Ass is ta nce syst ems

- Traffic s ign recognition does not adapt your
vehicle's speed to match the speed limit!

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: veh icles with Audi adaptive cruise contro l
Fig. 111 De tect ion range
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina­
t ion of speed and distance regulation.
It assists
the driver by both regulating the speed and
maintaining a distance to the vehicle driving
ahead, within the limits of the system . If the sys­
tem detects a veh icle driving ahead, the adaptive
cru ise control can brake and acce lerate your vehi­
cle . This increases driving comfort dur ing long
tr ips on highways and in stop-and -go traff ic (au­
tomatic transm iss ion*) .
What can adaptive cruise control do?
<( ~ The adaptive cruise contro l system uses video, ra-
"' ~ dar, ultrasound and navigation data. Veh icles
.... 0 \0
3 Assistance systems
driving ahead can be recognized up to 650 feet
(200 m) away.
Predictive functions offer the driver additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduction in fue l
consumption and CO2 emissions
¢ page 120.
On open roads with no traffic , it functions like a
cruise control system. The stored speed is main­
tained . When approaching a vehicle driving
ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system auto­
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then mainta ins the set distance. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle dr iv ing
ahead, adaptive cru ise control accelerates up to
the stored speed .
Applies to: vehicles with automatic transmissions
In stop-and-go traffic, adaptive cruise control can
brake until the veh icle is stationary and then can
also start driving again automat ically under cer­
ta in cond itions
¢ page 117.
In traffic jams or stop-and -go traffic, traffic jam
ass ist can assist the
driver ¢ page 121.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switc h adapt ive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "contro l speed"
¢ page 115, Switching on/off.
When driving, you can stop cru ise control
¢ page 118 or change the speed ¢ page 117 at
any time.
You can also set the distance to the vehicle driv­ ing ahead and set the driving mode of the adap­
t ive cru ise control
¢ page 118.
113

That is equal to the general recommendation of
"half the speed shown on the speedometer".
The distances provided are specified val ues. De­
pending on the d riving situation and how the ve­
hicle ahead is driving, the actual distance may be
more or less than these target distances.
If you change the time gaps, the newly se t value
appears briefly in the instrument cluster display,
for example
II for Distance 3. This only occurs if
the
Driver assistance disp lay is not currently
shown in the display
~ page 115, fig. 116.
Distance 1 : this setting corresponds to a distance
of 92 feet (28 meters) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 1 second.
Distance 2 : this setting corresponds to a distance
of 118 feet (36 meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.3 sec­
onds.
Distance 3: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 164 feet (SO meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.8 sec­
onds.
Distance 4: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 219 feet (67 meters) when traveling a t 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 2.4 sec­
onds.
Distance 5: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 328 feet (100 meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 3.6 sec ­
onds.
A WARNING
When setting the distance, the driver is re­
sponsible for adhering to any applicab le legal
regulations.
@ Tips
- Depending on the selected driving mode in
drive select* and the set distance, the driv­
ing behavior will vary from dynamic to com­
fortable when accelerating
c::;, page 139.
- Distance 3 is set automatically each time
you switch the ignition on. If you would like
to set another d istance as the default set­
ting, you can have the

-The system only considers traffic signs that
give a speed limit.
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The dr iver 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 r isk of a n accident .
(D Tips
-If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
L ED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not active .
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switch ing off pred ictive control, for exam­
ple when dr iving in low traffic zones, does
not cause the adaptive cru ise control to
switch off.
-After switching on the ignit ion, the system
i nit ially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driv ing onto h ighways
wi thou t a speed limit . Then the system ad­
ju sts to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driv ing thro ugh highway interchanges and
when driving on o r off the expressway.
- There is no predictive cont rol at speed limits
u nder 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam­
era and the actual speed is s ignificantly
h igher, then the speed limit will blink i n the
display unti l you have reached the requ ired
speed
~ page 110 .
-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 w ithout route
guidance or leaving a route can resu lt in im­
plaus ible control.
A ss is ta nce syst ems
-The system switches off when outside of a
road system that is recorded in the naviga­
