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 lat ing  vehicle  speed  and  helping 
to  maintain  a set  distance  to  the  vehicle 
ahead,  within  the  limits  of the  system. 
If the 
system  detects  a  moving  vehicle  up ahead, 
adaptive  cruise  control  can  brake and  then  ac
celerate  your  vehicle.  This  helps  to  make  driv
ing  more  comfortable  both  on long highway 
stretches  and  in stop-and-go  traffic. 
The  braking  guard  system can  warn  you  about 
an  impending  collision  and  initiate braking 
maneuvers 
c:::> page 90. 
Adaptive  cruise  control  and  braking  guard 
have  technical  limitations  that you  must 
know,  so please  read  this  section  carefully,  un
derstand  how  the  system  works  and  use them 
properly  at  all  times. 
General  information 
General  information 
Applies  to  vehicles:  with  Audi adaptive  cruise  control 
Fig. 83 Front  of  th e  veh icle:  senso rs  and  video  camera 
The areas  that  conta in the  radar  and  ultrason
ic sensors  and  the  v ideo  camera 
c:::> fig. 83 
must  neve r be  cove red  by stic kers  or  other  ob
jects  or  obstructed  w ith  dirt,  insects,  snow  or 
i ce that  will  interfere with  the  adaptive  cruise 
control  system  and  braking  guard.  For  infor
mation  on  cleaning,  refer  to 
c:::> page 210. The same  applies  for  any  modifications  made  in 
the  front  area. 
T he  function  of  the  adaptive  cru ise  contro l 
system  and  braking  guard  is limited  under 
some  cond itions: 
- Objects  can  only  be  de tected  when  they  are 
w ith in sensor  range 
c:::> page 86, fig. 86. 
- The  system  has  a  limited  ability  to  detect 
objects  that  are  a  short  d istance  ahead,  off 
to  the  side  of your  vehi cle  or  mov ing  into 
your  lane. 
- Some  kinds  of veh icles  are  hard  to  detect; 
for  examp le  motorcycles,  veh icles  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

& WARNING 
A lways  pay  attention  to  traffic  when  adap 
tive  cruise  contro l is switched  on  and  brak
ing  g uard  is  active.  As the  driver,  you  are 
still  respons ible  for  starting  and  for  main
taining  speed  and  distance  to  other  ob
jects.  Braking  guard  is  used  to  assist  you . 
The dr iver  must  a lways  take  action  to  avo id 
a  collis ion . The  driver  is a lways  respons ible 
fo r braking  a t the  co rrec t time. 
- Imp roper  use  of  adaptive  cru ise  control 
can  cause  collisions,  other  acc idents  and 
serious  pe rsonal  in jury. 
- Never  let  the  comfort  and  convenience 
that  adaptive  cruise  control  and  braking  gua rd offer  d istract  you  from  the  need  to 
be  alert  to  traffic  condit ions  and  the 
need  to  rema in  in fu ll control  of your  ve
h icle  at  a ll times, 
- Always remember  that  the  adaptive 
cruise  control  and  braking  guard  have 
limits  -they  will not  s low  the  vehicle 
down  or  maintain  the  set distance  when 
you  drive  towards  an obstacle  or  some
thing  on  or  near  the road  that is  not 
mov ing,  such  as  vehicles  stopped  in  a 
traffic  jam,  a stalled  o r disabled  vehicle.

vehicles  or  obstacles  that  are  not  moving 
can  trigger  a  collision  warning  and  if con
firmed  by the  video  camera,  an  acute  col lis ion  warn ing. 
- For safety  reasons,  do  not  use  adaptive 
cruise  control  when  driving  on  roads  with 
many  curves,  when  the  road  surface  is  in 
poor  condit ion  and/or  in bad  weather 
(such  as  ice,  fog,  gravel,  heavy  rain  and 
hydroplan ing).  Using the  system  under 
these  cond itions  cou ld  result  in a  co lli 
sion . 
- Switch  adaptive  c ruise  control  off  tempo
rar ily when  driv ing  in turning  lanes,  on 
expressway  exits  or  in construction 
zones . This  prevents  the  vehicle  from  ac
celerating  to  the  set  speed  when  in these 
situations . 
- The  adapt ive cru ise  control  system  w ill 
not  brake  by itse lf  if you  put  your  foot  on 
the  accelerator  pedal.  Doing  so  can  over ride  the  speed  and  distance  regulation . 
- When  approaching  stationary  objects  such  as  stopped  traffic,  adaptive  cruise 
control  will  not  respond  and  braking 
guard  w ill have  limited  function. 
- The  adapt ive cruise  control  system  and 
braking  guard  do  not  react  to  people , an
ima ls,  objects  crossing  the  road  o r on
coming  objects . 
- The function  of the  radar  sensors  can  be 
affected  by reflective  objects  such  as 
guard  ra ils,  the  entra nce  to  a tunnel, 
heavy  rain  or  i ce. 
- Never  follow  a veh icle  so  closely  that  you 
cannot  stop  your  vehicle  safe ly. The 
adaptive  cruise  cont ro l c anno t slow  or 
brake  the  veh icle  safely  when  you  follow 
another  vehicle  too  closely.  Always  re
member  that  the  automatic  braking 
funct ion  cannot  bring  the  veh icle  to  a 
sudden  or  emergency  stop  under  these 
conditions . 
- To  prevent  unintended  operation,  always 
switch  ACC off  when  it  is  not  be ing  used. (D Note 
The  sensors  can  be  displaced  by impacts  or 
damage  to  the  bumper,  wheel  housing  and 
underbody.  That  cou ld  affect  the  adaptive 
cruise  control  system  and  brak ing  guard . 
Have your  authorized  Aud i dea le r or  a u
thorized  Audi Serv ice  Facility check  their 
funct ion.

Audi  braking  guard 
Descript ion 
Applies  to  vehicles: with  Audi adaptive  cruise  control 
Fig. 93 Instrument  cluster:  approach warn ing 
Braking  guard  uses radar  sensors and  a video 
camera . It  also functions  within  the  limits  of 
the  system  when  adapt ive cruise control  is 
switched  off . 
What  can braking  guard  do? 
When detected  in time,  the  system  can assess 
situations  when  a vehicle  ahead brakes sud
denly  or  if your  own vehicle  is traveling  at  a 
high  speed and  approaching  a vehicle  up 
ahead that  is moving  more  slowly . Brak ing 
guard  does  not  react if  it  cannot  detect  the 
situation. 
The system  advises you of  various  situations: 
- The 
distance  warning is given  if you  are too 
close to  the  vehicle  ahead  for a long  time.  If 
the  vehicle  ahead brakes sharply,  you will  not  be able to  avoid a collision . The indicator 
light 
I in the  display  comes on . 
- The 
approach  warning is given when  a de
tected  veh icle up ahead in your  lane  is mov 
i ng much  more  slowly  than  you  are or  if  it 
brakes sharply . When  this  warning  is given, 
it  may  only  be possible  to avoid a  collision 
by  swerving  or  braking sharply. Th e indicator 
light 
I and  indicato r in  the  display  will  warn 
you  about  the  danger¢ 
fig. 93. You will  a lso 
hear an acoustic  signal. 
ll This  is  not  ava ilable  in some  co un tri es . 
If  you do not  react fast  enough  or  do not  react 
at  all  to  the  situation,  braking  guard will  inter· 
vene by  braking. 
- If  a coll is ion is imminent,  the  system  will 
first  provide  an 
acute  warning by  briefly  and 
sharply  applying  the  brakes. 
- If you  do not  react  to  the  acute warning, 
braking  g uard  can brake wit h increas ing 
force  w ith in the  limits  of  the  system . This 
reduces the  vehicle  speed  in the  event  of  a 
collision. 
- The system  can initiate  maximum  braking 
short ly before  a collision
1l .  Full  deceleration 
at  high  speeds occurs only  in vehicles with 
adapt ive cruise control  and side assist  (pre 
sense plus). 
- If the  braking  guard  senses that  you are not 
braking  hard enough  when  a collision  is  im· 
m inent,  it can  increase  the  braking force. 
- The pre sense functions  also engage when  a 
collision  is  imminent¢ 
page  192. 
Which functions  can be controlled? 
You can switch  braking  guard  and the  dis
tance/approach  warning  on or  off  in the  MMI 
¢ page  91,  Settings  in  the  MMI. 
A WARNING 
Lack of  attention  can cause collisions,  oth
er  accidents  and serious  personal  injuries. 
The  braking  guard is an assist  system  and 
cannot  prevent  a  collision  by itself.  The 
driver  must  always  intervene.  The driver is 
always  respons ible for  braking  at  the cor
rect  time. 
- Always pay  close att ent ion  to  traffic, 
even when  the  braking  guard is switched 
on.  Be ready to  intervene and  be ready to 
take  comp lete  control  whenever  necessa
ry . Always  keep the  safe and  legal  dis
tance  between  your  vehicle  and vehicles  up ahead. 
- Braking  guard  works  within  limits  and 
will  not  respond outside  the  system  lim·  its, for  example  when  approaching  a  ..,.

stopped  vehicle  or  stationary  obstacle 
(end of  a traff ic  jam  or veh icle that  has 
broken  down  in traffic). 
- Always  remember  that  the  radar  sensor 
for  the  braking  guard  works  only  within 
defined  detection  and range  limits  that 
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  vehicles  up ahead may not 
be promptly  detected  or  may not  be de
tected  at  al l. 
- Reflective  surfaces  in cl ud ing crash  barr i
ers or tunnel  ent rances may  impair  the 
function  of  the  radar  sensor. 
(D Tips 
- You can ca ncel the  braking  w ith  increas
i ng force  that  is  initiated  by the  system 
by b raking yo urself,  by accelerating  no
ticeab ly or  by swerving. 
- Bra king guard  error  messages

- Keep in  m ind that  braking  guard  can 
brake unexpectedly.  Always secure any 
c ar go or  objec ts that  you  are  transpor t
i ng to  reduce the  risk of  damage  or  in
ju ry.

Universal  remote 
control 
General  information 
Applies  to  vehicles:  with  Homelink  u nive rsal  remote  con
tro l 
The HomeLink  universal  remote  control  can 
be programmed  with  hand-held  transmitters 
from  existing  equipment. 
With  Homelink,  you  can control  devices  such 
as  the  garage  door,  security systems,  house 
lights,  etc.  comfortably  from  the  inside  of you 
vehicle. 
Homelink  makes  it  possible  for you  to  replace 
three  different  remote  controls  from  devices  in your  home  with  one  universal  remote . Th is 
feature  works  for  most  garage  door  and  exte
rior  door  motor  signals.  Programming  the  in
d iv idual  remo te control  fo r your  remote  con 
trol  takes  p lace  near  the  center  of the  radiator 
grille.  There  is a  control  module  attached  at 
this  location . 
A one-t ime  programm ing  of  the  sensor  mus t 
be  performed  before  you  are  able  to  use  sys
tems  w ith  Homelink. 
A WARNING 
- Never  use  the  Homelink  transmitter 
with  any  garage  door  opener  that  does 
have  not  the  safety  stop  and  reverse  fea
ture  as  requ ired  by  federal safety  stand
ards.  Th is  includes  any  garage  door  open
er  model  manufactured  before  April  1,  1982. 
- A garage  door  opener  which  cannot  de
tect  an  object,  signaling  the  door  to  stop 
and  reverse  does  not  meet  current  feder
al safety  standards . Us ing  a  garage  doo r 
opener  witho ut  these  fea tures  increases 
risk  of serious  injury or  death. 
- For safety  reasons  never  release  the 
parking  brake  or  start  the  engine  while 
anyone  is standing  in front  of the  vehicle . 
- A garage  door  or  an  estate  gate  may 
sometimes  be  set  in motion  when  the  Homelink  remote  control  is being  pro
grammed.  If the  device  is  repeatedly  ac
tivated,  this  can  overstrain  motor  and 
damage  its  electrical  components  -an 
overheated  motor  is  a fire  hazard! 
- To avo id  possible  injuries  or  property 
damage,  please  always  make  absolutely 
certa in that  no  persons  or  objects  are  lo
cated  in the  range  of  motion  of any 
equ ipment  being  operated.

A WARNING 
-Only wash  the  vehicle  when  the  ignition 
is off  and  follow  the  instructions  from 
the  car  wash  operator  to  reduce  the  risk  of  accidents . 
- To reduce  the  r isk  of  cuts,  protect  your
self  from  sharp  metal  components  when 
wash ing  the  underbody  or  the  inside  of 
the  wheel  housings. 
- After  washing  the  vehicle,  the  braking  ef
fec t may  be  delayed  due  to  mo isture  on 
the  brake  rotors  or  ice  in the  winter.  The 
brakes  must  be  dried  first  with  a few 
careful  brake  applications. 
Q) Note 
- If  you  wash  t he  vehicle  in  an  automatic 
car  wash,  yo u must  fold  the  exterior  m ir
rors  in to  reduce  the  r is k  of  damage  to 
the  mirrors.  Power  folding  exterior mir
rors*  must  only  be  folded  in and  out  us
ing  the  power  folding  function. 
- To prevent  paint  damage,  do  not  wash 
the  vehicle  in direct  sunlight .  -
To  reduce  the risk  of  damage  to  the  sur
face,  do  not  use  insect removing  spong
es,  kitchen  sponges or  similar  items. 
- Matte  finish  painted  vehicle  compo
nents: 
- To reduce  the  risk  of  damage  to  the  surface,  do  not  use  polishing  agents  or hard  wax.
