Driver assistance
Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.

ZA\ WARNING
— Always pay attention to the traffic around
your vehicle when the cruise control system
is in operation. As the driver, you are always
responsible for controlling your vehicle
speed and the distance between your vehicle
and
other vehicles.
— For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads, and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
and conditions that could lead to hydroplan-
ing), because this increases the risk of an ac-
cident.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, you should
only resume the stored speed if it is suitable
for the current traffic conditions.


() Note
Before driving downhill a long distance ona
steep hill, decrease your speed and select a
lower gear. This makes use of the engine brak-
ing effect and reduces the load placed on the
brakes.
@) Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
applied automatically.

Audi pre sense basic
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic

Audi pre sense basic is automatically active at
speeds of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
higher. Audi pre sense basic can trigger the Audi
pre sense preemptive safety measures during
emergency braking and dangerous braking ma-
neuvers as well as in unstable driving situations,
such as oversteering or understeering.

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and

Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front

The Audi pre sense front system uses the data
from the radar sensors and calculates the proba-
bility of a rear-end collision. Within the limits of
the system, an impending collision with the front
of the vehicle can be detected in both urban and
rural speed ranges.
Audi pre sense front is active at speeds of approx-
imately 3 mph (5 km/h) and higher. The system
can respond to pedestrians crossing the street or
going in the same direction of travel 2) at speeds
up to 40 mph (65 km/h). It can also respond to
stationary vehicles at speeds up to 52 mph (85

km/h) as well as to vehicles driving ahead or
stopped vehicles at speeds up to 155 mph (250
km/h).
Early warning/acute warning
The system can recognize various dangerous sit-
uations. The early warning occurs if:
— Avehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly
— Your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 50 mph (30 to 85 km/h) and
it approaches a stationary vehicle.
— Your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 155 mph (30 to 250 km/h)
and it approaches a vehicle that is clearly trav-
eling more slowly or a vehicle in your direction
of travel that is stopped.
— If a crossing pedestrian?) moves into the lane
and you are driving at speeds between approxi-
mately 18 to 40 mph (30 to 65 km/h).
— Ifa pedestrian is moving in your direction of
travel and in your lane 2) and you are driving at
speeds between approximately 18 to 40 mph
(30 to 65 km/h).
The message Audi pre sense © and a warning
tone will warn you about the danger.
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there may also be an acute warning in the form
of sharp braking. You will also be warned by an
indicator in the instrument cluster display. When
this warning occurs, it may only be possible to
avoid a collision by swerving or braking strongly.
Automatic deceleration
If you do not react to the acute warning, Audi pre
sense front can brake the vehicle to a full stop
within the limits of the system. This reduces the
vehicle speed in the event of a collision.
Automatic braking force increase
If Audi pre sense determines that you are not
braking strongly enough when a collision is immi-
nent, it can increase the braking force based on
the situation.
