Assistance systems Speed warning system
Description
App lies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system .
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A warning tone will sound as soon as your speed
exceeds the stored value slightly. The
(Ol (USA
models)/
(01 (Canada models) indicato r light
and a message appear i n the ins trumen t cluster
d isplay at the same time. The
(Sl / (Ol indicator
light and the message turn
off if the speed falls
back below the stored maximum speed .
Sett ing a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when yo u reach a certa in
maximum speed . Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener ­
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
Setting the warning threshold
Select in the I nfotai nment system: IMENU I but­
ton
> Ve hicle > le ft control button > Dri ver a ssis ­
tan ce
> Speed warning > Manual.
@ Tips
Regard less of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.

On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise control syst em . Th e stored spe ed is main­
tained. When approach ing a veh icle driving
ahead, the adaptive c ruise control system auto­
mat ica lly brakes to mat ch that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set distance . As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise contro l accelerates up to
the stored speed.
In stop -and -go traff ic, adaptive cru ise control can
brake unt il the vehicle is stat io nary and then can
also start driving again automatically under cer­
tain
condi tions ¢ page 106.
In traffic jams or stop -and -go traffic, traffic jam
assist can assist the
driver ¢ page 109 .
Which function s can be contr olled ?
When you switch adapt ive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
¢ page 104, Swi tching on/off.
When driving, you can stop c ruise contro l
¢ page 107 or change the speed ¢ page 106 at
any time.
You can a lso set the distance to the vehicle driv ­
ing ah ead and s et the driv ing mode of the adap­
tive cruise

Fig. 10 0 Fro nt of the v ehi cle : se nso rs a nd v ideo cam era
The areas w ith the rada r and u ltrasonic sensors
and the video

ered by stickers, deposits or any other objects ,
because this can interfe re with the adapt ive

ing, see ¢ page 344 . The same applies fo r any
modifications made in the front area .
In some dr iving s it u ations, the adaptive c ruise
contro l func tion is restricte d:
- Veh icles can on ly be de tected when they are
w ith in the sensor detection zones
¢ page 102,
fig.
99 .
- The system has a limited ability to detect
ve hicles that are a short dis tance ahead, off to
t he side of your ve hicle or movi ng i nto yo ur
lane.
- Ob jects that are d ifficult to detect s uch as mo­
torcycles, veh icles with high gro und clea rance
or an overhanging load are detec ted late or not
detected at all.

A WARNING
Always pay at ten tion to the traffic around you
when adaptive cru ise con trol is switched on .
As the driver, you are still responsible for your
own speed and the d istance to other veh icles.
The adaptive cruise cont rol is used to assist
you. The driver must always take action to
avoid a collision . The driver is always responsi ­
bl e for braking at the correct t ime.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cr uise control when the road surface is in
poor condi tion and/or in bad weather condi­
tions (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hyd roplani ng) . Using the system under
these co ndi tions i ncrea ses the r is k of an a c­
cide nt.
- Sw itch adaptive cru ise con trol
off tempora­
r ily when dr iv ing in tu rning lanes, on e x­
p re ssway ex its (except if predictive con trol
is switched on) or in construct io n zones .
This prevents the vehicle from acce lerating
to the stored speed w hen in these situa­
tions.
- The adaptive cruise contro l system will not
brake by itself if you put yo ur foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so can over ride the
speed and d ista nce regulation .

-If the brake booster is not working, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
force than normal.
- If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoil­
er, whee l covers or similar items, make sure
that the a ir flow to the front wheels is not
in terrupted. Otherw ise the brake system
can become too hot .

Power steering adapts electronically based on
the vehicle speed.

• Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle
If th is ind icator light turns on and stays on and
this message appears, the power steering may
have fa iled.

sible . Do
not continue driving . See an author ized
Aud i deale r or authorized Aud i Serv ice Facility fo r
assistance .
,~n Steering: malfunction! You can continue
driving
If the indicator light turns on and the message
appears, the steering wheel may be more diffi­
cult to move or more sensit ive than usual. The
steer ing wheel may also be at an angle when
driving st raight.
Drive slowly to an au thorized Audi dealer or au­
thor ized Audi Service Fac il ity to have the mal­
function corrected .
I@ Dynamic steering: correcting steering wheel
position
If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the dynamic steering* is reinitializing.
The steering wheel will be easy to move after
starting the engine. Re initialization might be

necessary if the steering wheel was moved while
the engine was switched
off. T he disp lay turns
off if the initialization was successfu l.
(D Tips
-If the . or Erfl indicator light only stays on
for a short time, you may continue driving.

All-wheel drive (quattro)
General information
In all wheel drive, the driv in g power is distribut­
ed between all four whee ls when needed. This
happens automatically depending on your driving
behavior as well as the current road conditions.
Also see
c> page 140 , Electronic Stabilization
Con trol (ESC).
The all-whee l drive system distributes the driving
power variably to the front and rear axle. It works
together with selective wheel torque control,
which activates when driving through curves
c> page 140. With the sport differential*, power
distribution to the rear wheels is variable and can
be adjusted using the drive select
c>poge 125 .
The all wheel drive concept is designed for high
engine power . Your vehicle is excep tionally pow­
erful and has excellent driving characteristics
both under normal driving conditions and on
snow and ice. Always read and follow safety pre­
cautions ¢.&. .
Winter tires
By using all wheel dr ive, your veh icle has good
forward motion w ith standard tires in winter con ­
ditions. However, using winter or all season t ires
o n oil four wheels in the winter is recommended,
because this w ill imp rove the braking effect.
Snow chains
If there are snow chain laws, snow chains must
also be used on veh icles with all wheel drive
