Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard
Audi braking guard
Description
Applies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise co ntro l
Fig. 132 Instrument cluste r: approach warning
Braking guard uses a radar sensor. It also func­
tions within the limits of the system when adap­
tive cruise control is switched off .
What can braking guard do?
When detected in time, the system can assess
situations when a vehicle ahead brakes suddenly
or if your own vehicle is traveling at a high speed
and approaching a vehicle up ahead that is mov­
ing more slowly . Braking guard does not react if
it cannot detect the situat ion.
The system advises you of various situations:
- The
distance warning is g iven 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 .
in the display comes on.
- The
approach warning is given when a detected
vehicle up ahead in your lane is moving much
more slowly than you are or if it brakes sharply .
When this warning is g iven, it may only be pos­
s ible to avo id a col lision by swerving or brak ing
sharp ly. Th e indicator light . will warn you
about the danger
¢fig. 132. You will also hear
an acoustic signal.
If you do not react fast enough or do not react at
all to the situation, braking guard will intervene
by braking and the message
Braking guard: Acti­
vated
will appear.
1> Th is is not ava ilab le in some coun tries.
-If a collision is imminent, the system wi ll first
provide an
acute warning by briefly and sharply
apply ing the brakes.
- If you do not react to the acute warning, brak­
ing guard can brake within the limits of the sys­
tem. This reduces the vehicle speed in the event
of a collision.
- At speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h), the system
can initiate a comp lete decelerat ion shortly be­
fore a collision
ll.
- If the braking guard senses that you are not
braking hard enough when a collision is immi­
nent, it can increase the braking force .
Which functions can be controlled?
You can switch braking guard and the distance/
approach warn ing on or
off in the radio/MM!*
¢ page 116, Settings in the radio/MM!*.
A WARNING
-
Lack of attention can cause collisions, other
accidents and ser ious personal in juries. The
braking guard is an assist system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself. The driver must
always intervene. The driver is always respon­
sible for braking at the correct tim e.
- Always pay close attention to traffic, even
when the braking guard is switched on. Be
ready to intervene and be ready to take
comp lete control whenever necessary. Al­
ways keep the safe and legal distance be­
tween your vehicle and vehicles up ahead .
- Braking guard works wit hin limits and will
not respond outside the system limits, for
examp le when approaching a stopped veh i­
cle or stationary obstacle (end of a traffic
jam or vehicle that has broken down in traf­
fic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor for
the braking guard works only within defined
detection and range limits that may prevent
the proper detect ion of other vehicles.
- The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving vehicles up ahead may not be

Parking aid
Rearview cam era cov erage area
The MM I display shows the area covered by the
rearview camera
c:> fig . 142 @. Objects that a re
not in the area covered @are not shown on the
MMI disp lay.
We recommend th at yo u pract ice pa rking with
the rearview camera in a traffic-free location or
parking lot to become familiar with the system,
the orientation lines, and their function . When
doing this, there should be good light and weath­
er cond itions .
I n the MMI disp lay, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if :
- yo u are driving in reverse ge ar from a level su r­
f ace onto an incl ine, or a downward s lope,
- yo u are d rivi ng in reverse gea r toward protr ud ­
ing obje cts,
- the ve hicl e is ca rry ing too much load in the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and b lue
surfaces d imin ishes if:
- the rearv iew camera does not provide a reliab le
image, for example, in poor visibility cond itions
or if the lens is d irty,
- the image on the screen is not visib le due to
sun glare and reflection .
Caring for the rearview camer a lens
The rearview camera is located above the rear li­
cense plate bracket. For the parking system to
operate, the lens
c:> fig. 143 must be kept clean:
- Dampen the lens with a househo ld alcoho l-
based glass cleaner, and then wipe the lens
clean with a dry cloth
i::> (!).
-Remove snow with a hand br ush and ice pref­
erab ly with a de -icing spray
i::> (!) .
A WARNING
-The parking system ca nnot replace the dr iv­
er's attention . The dr iver alone is responsi­
ble for parking a nd s imilar dr iv ing mane u­
vers.
- Sensors have blind spots in wh ich objects
cannot be detected . Pay spec ial atten tion to
126
sma ll children and anima ls because the sen­
sors cannot a lways detect them.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur­
roundings, us ing the rearv iew mirror as
wel l.
- Do not allow yourself to be dist racted from
traffic by the rearview camera pictures.
- If the position and the installation angle of
the camera has changed, for example, after
a rea r end co llision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by a q ualified dealership .
(D Note
-Low obstacles a lready signa led by a warning
can disappear from the system's detect ion
range as they are approached and w ill not
cont inue to be signaled . Objects such as
barrier cha ins, tra iler draw bars, t hin paint­
ed vertical po les or fences may not be de­
tecte d by the system, posi ng ris k of dam­
age.
- Never use wa rm o r hot wate r to remove
