Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
»
Fig.
100 Sensor range
The adaptive cruise control is a combined speed
and distance control system. It assists the driver
by controlling the road speed and the distance to
the vehicle in front within certain limits imposed
by the system. The adaptive cruise control sys
tem can accelerate and brake when it detects a
vehicle in front. This provides maximum comfort
both on long motorway journeys and in conges
ted traffic (automatic gearbox*).
What can the adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control uses a radar. The ra
dar is subject to certain system limitations
opage
112.
When there is no traffic in front, the adaptive
cruise control works just like a normal cruise
con
trol system by maintaining a constant speed.
When you draw closer to a vehicLe in front which
is detected by the system, the adaptive cruise
control matches your speed to that vehicle by au
tomatically applying the brakes, and then main
tains a constant distance (which you can adjust in
the settings). As soon as it detects no more
vehicles in front, the adaptive cruise control ac
celerates back up to the cruising speed.
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
In congested traffic, the adaptive cruise control
can brake down to a standstill and accelerate
again (subject to general system limitations) un
der certain conditions
*$page
115, Driving in
congested traffic. The traffic jam assist (active
lane assist)* can assist the driver in traffic jams
and heavy congestion
<=>page
117.
Which functions can the driver control?
When you switch on the adaptive cruise control,
you can set your current speed as the "cruising
speed"
^>page
113, Switching
on/off.
While you are driving, you can interrupt the
cruise control
opage
115 or change the speed
setting
Opage
114 at any time.
In addition, you can adjust the distance to
vehicles in front and the driving program for the
adaptive cruise control

systems. Notes on cleaning
^>page
312. Please
bear the above in mind if technical modifications
are made to the front of the vehicle.
The functionality of the adaptive cruise control or
pre sense front systems is restricted in certain
situations:
- Vehicles cannot be detected until they are
with
in the range of the sensor
^>page
111,
Fig.
100.
- The ability of the system to detect vehicles in
front is Limited when they are too close, travel
ling out of line, or moving into your lane.
- Vehicles that are not clearly discernible, e.g. a
motorcycle or cyclist travelling in front of you
and vehicles with high ground clearance or a
protruding
load,
are often identified late or are
not detected at all.
-When driving through bends
opage
112.
-When vehicles are stationary
^page
113.
A WARNING
Please always direct your full attention to the
road,
even when you are using adaptive cruise
control.
It is always the driver who is respon
sible for pulling away safely and maintaining
a safe speed and distance from other vehicles.
The purpose of the adaptive cruise control is
to assist the driver. The driver must always in
tervene manually to avoid an impending
colli
sion.
As the driver you are always responsible
for braking in good time.
- For safety reasons, the adaptive cruise
con
trol must not be used on roads with a lot of
bends or in poor weather or difficult or slip
pery driving conditions (such as ice, fog,
loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
etc.) - risk of
accident!
- When you take a turn-off, drive along a mo
torway exit lane or pass through roadwork
sections, please temporarily switch off the
adaptive cruise control system. This is to en
sure that the vehicle does not accelerate to
the cruising speed in such situations.
- The adaptive cruise control system will not
brake the vehicle automatically if
you
rest
your foot on the accelerator pedal. Resting
your foot on the accelerator pedal overrides
the speed and distance control function.
- The adaptive cruise control does not react to
pedestrians, animals or crossing or oncom
ing traffic.
- Reflecting objects, such as crash barriers,
the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or ice
can impair the function of the radar sensor.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensor. This can impair the effective
ness of the adaptive cruise control. Have the
systems checked by a qualified workshop.

Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
The pre sense functions can take action to pro
tect the vehicle occupants and other road users in
certain hazardous conditions within the system
limits.
- Because the different on-board systems are
networked,
pre sense basic can detect critical
situations and take preventive action to protect
the occupants.
- The pre sense front uses the data of the radar
sensor to calculate the probability of an
acci
dent
opage
112. It can detect an impending
collision with vehicles or
pedestrians1^
(subject
to general system limitations). In this case, the
system warns the driver visually, acoustically
and,
if necessary, with a short, sharp brake ap
plication.
If necessary, it can initiate a partial or
fuLl
brake application in order to reduce the im
pact speed or, in certain circumstances, to
avoid a collision. In conjunction with pre sense
basic, the reversible tensioners on the front
seat belts are also applied if necessary. Pre
sense front is active even when the adaptive
cruise control* is switched off.
Please observe the general safety warnings
•=>
A in General notes on page 112.
© Note
- Certain pre sense functions are deactivated
when reversing.
- The functions of the pre sense system may
also be unavailable if
a
fault develops in the
ESC
system or airbag control unit.
- Please note that, if the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated, the reversible
belt tensioner on the passenger's side will
be deactivated as
well.
- Switch off pre sense on private roads and
while the vehicle is being loaded onto a car
transporter, train or ferry, etc. This prevents
the pre sense system from taking action in
an inappropriate situation.
Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
The pre sense basic functions are activated at
speeds above approximately 30 km/h.
The system can activate the following functions
in certain situations:
- Seat belt tensioning (e.g. during hard braking):
The seat belts on the front seats have reversi
ble tensioners. Provided an accident does not
occur, the belts are loosened again slightly and
kept ready for activation.
- Initiation of the closure process for the
win
dows and panorama sun roof* (e.g. if the
vehi
cLe understeers or oversteers).
Audi drive select*: the activation threshold

Driver assist systems
provided tempt you into taking any risks when
driving - this can cause accidents.
- Please note that pre sense front can give
warnings or apply the brakes unexpectedly.
Always secure your luggage to prevent dam
age and possible injury.
- Due to inherent system limitations, false ac
tivation of the system is possible.
- Please note that the sensor is not always
able to detect all objects which may repre
sent a potential hazard - risk of accident!
- Pre sense front does not react to the follow
ing:
oncoming traffic in the same lane, sta
tionary or stopped persons, pedestrians
crossing the road at an angle, groups of
people, animals, or objects that are hard to
recognise •=>
A in General notes on
page 112.
A WARNING
The pre sense front functions may be restric
ted or unavailable in situations such as the
following:
- If objects such as crash barriers or other
vehicles are reflecting additional light.
- At tunnel entrances.
- In heavy fog,
rain,
road spray or snow.
- If the radar sensor is dirty, frosted, dam
aged or covered.
- When driving through a corner.
-Applies to: front-wheel drive vehicles: If the
ESC system has been partially or fully deac
tivated.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensor. This can impair the function of
the pre sense front system. Have the systems
checked by a
quaLified
workshop.
© Note
-The automatic brake application with in
creasing brake force can be cancelled by ap
plying the brakes yourself or by pressing the
accelerator firmly or by taking evasive ac
tion.

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
The active lane assist (lane departure warning
feature) uses a camera in the windscreen to de
tect lane markings (subject to general system
limitations). If
you
approach one of the detected
lane markings, the system corrects the steering
to warn you that the vehicle might be about to
cross one of the markings. You can override this
steering input at any time. The steering wheel vi
brates slightly if
you
cross a lane marking. The vi
bration warning must be activated beforehand on
the infotainment system. The active lane assist is
functional when it detects a demarcation line on
at least one side of the lane in which you are driv
ing.
As the system is designed for driving on motor
ways and other major roads, it is only active
§
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif-
£
ferent export markets).

A WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you
are always responsible for staying in your
own lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the
vehi
cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands
off the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak
ing,
the system may not correct the steer
ing.
- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be
initi
ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front,
rain,
snow, a lot of water on the
road,
adverse
light
or
dirt on the windscreen. If this hap
pens,
the active lane assist may not detect
