Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive light
With the adaptive light feature, you have better
vision in the dark because the Lights are control
led dynamically to match the vehicle speed and
road conditions, e.g. on motorways or country
roads,
at intersections or through corners. The
adaptive light is activated only when the Light
switch is set to AUTO and the all-weather Lights*
are switched off.
WARNING
- The automatic headlights are only intended
to assist the driver. The driver must always
ensure that the headlights are used when
required,
and may have to switch them on
manually when the light conditions or
visi
bility are poor. For example, the light
sen
sors are not able to detect fog. Therefore,
you should always switch on the dipped
headlights
|0
in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
- To avoid dazzling the traffic behind you, the
rear fog light should only be used in accord
ance with statutory regulations.
- If the vehicle battery has been losing charge
for
a
while, the side lights or parking lights
may be switched off automatically. Always
park your car in a safe and suitably lit place
according to the applicable regulations.

heavy rain and snow or water splashes
- Roads on which oncoming traffic is partially
concealed (e.g. on motorways)
- Indiscernible road users (e.g. cyclists with
poor lighting)
- Tight corners, steep hill crests or valleys
- Poorly lit towns
- Highly reflective objects, such as road signs
-Windscreen misted up, dirty, frosted or cov

At speeds above approximately 30 km/h, the
speed limiter helps prevent the driver from ex
ceeding a set cut-off
speed.
The indicator lamp

Lights up as soon as you switch on the speed
limiter. Information is also provided in the head-
up display*.

- The speed limiter is in passive mode, and a
set cut-off speed has been stored.
® - The speed limiter is activated. The indicator
lamp
BH
flashes briefly when the speed limiter is
applied.
A WARNING
- Always direct your full attention to the
road,
even when you are using the speed limiter.
It is always the driver who is responsible for
determining the speed and for keeping a
safe distance to the other vehicles on the
road.
- For safety reasons, the speed limiter must
not be used in adverse weather or difficult
driving conditions (such as ice, fog, loose
grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
etc.) - risk of
acci
dent!
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down
feature when the visibility and weather
con
ditions are suitable, and when the road and
traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
Before driving down a
long,
steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and select a low
er gear. In this way you will make use of the
engine braking effect and relieve the Load on
the brakes.

tion

Traffic signs detected by the system appear in

Speed limits when towing a trailer
General notes
The traffic sign recognition system can detect
standardised speed Limit signs within the cam
era's range of
vision.
It makes use of the naviga
tion data to evaluate the detected speed limits
and show them on the display. Under certain
con
ditions, the system will also display the legal
speed limits on roads without speed Limit signs.
The traffic sign for the currently detected speed
limit will flash on the display if
a
speed warning
threshold,
which has been set on the infotain
ment system, is exceeded
^page
109.
Traffic sign recognition is not available in all
countries. For
a
current list, see the Internet (e.g.
www.audi.com). The system is also subject to
certain inherent restrictions and may be partially
or completely unavailable in the following situa
tions:
- If visibility is impaired by snow,
rain,
fog or
heavy road spray.
- In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncom
ing traffic.
-At high speeds.
- If the camera's range of vision
^>Fig.
98 is im
paired,
e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on clean
ing
•=>
page 312.
- If the traffic signs are partially or completely
obscured,
e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other
vehicles.
- If traffic signs deviate from the standard ap
pearance (round with red border).
- If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
- If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead
gantries.
- If traffic signs or routes have changed (naviga
tion data out of date).
- If the system detects a speed sticker on a slow-
moving vehicle (such as a heavy goods vehicle).
WARNING
Always direct your full attention to the road
and surroundings, even when you are using
traffic sign recognition. The actual traffic
signs on your route always take precedence
over
the information on the display. It is al
ways the driver's responsibility to assess the
traffic situation and take appropriate care.
- Under adverse conditions, the traffic sign
recognition system may misinterpret or fail
to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possi
ble that the speed limit display may occa
sionally be unavailable or even incorrect.

it will update the display accordingly.
Temporary speed restrictions are displayed in the
following situations:
- A temporary speed restriction for wet weather
is detected while the windscreen wipers are op
erating.
- A speed restriction for fog is detected while the
vehicle's rear fog light or all-weather lights are
switched on.
- A speed restriction applying at certain times of
day has been detected and corresponds to the
time displayed in the instrument cluster.
- The vehicle is towing a trailer and the Automat
ic trailer recognition option is activated on the
infotainment system. In this case, restrictions
applying to trailers are
displayed15.
