brake and take evasive action to avoid
collisions and other accident situations.
- Never allow the closing speed between
you and other vehicles to be so high that
the adaptive cruise control may not be
able to slow your vehicle safely. If clos­
ing speed is too high, you must apply the
brakes yourself to reduce the risk of a
rear-end crash .
- Never rest your foot on the accelerator peda l, especia lly when the adaptive
cruise control is be ing used. Pressu re on
the accelerator w ill override the ACC
braking function and prevent the brakes
from being applied when ACC detects a situation when the brakes must be ap­
plied.
- Never use adaptive cruise contro l when
you cannot drive safe ly at a steady
speed, including on city streets, on wind­
ing roads or when road conditions are
poor (for example, on ice, gravel, in fog,
heavy rain or on wet roads that increase
the risk of hydroplaning) .
- The radar sensor 's
vision can be reduced
by rain, snow and heavy road spray .
T hese and sim ilar condit ions can prevent
vehicles up a head from being accurately
detected and in some cases they may not
be detected at al l. Do not use ACC when
the radar sensors cannot accurately de­
tect vehicles moving ahead of yo u in traf­
fic .
- Always turn off adaptive cruise contro l
when entering turn lanes , exit lanes and
construction zones or in similar situa­
t ions because the vehicle will automati­
cally accelerate to the stored speed when
the road ahead is clear.
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not be ing used .
(D Tips
-For safety reasons, the stored speed is
deleted when the ignition is turned off .
- The E lectronic Stab ilizat ion Control (ESC)
i s automatically turned on when the
adaptive cruise control is turned on. You cannot switch the ESC into offroad mode
w hile the adaptive cruise contro l is
t u rned on
<=> page 225.
-Damage caused by accidents and some
mino r collisions can affect the radar sen­
sor settings and cause the system to
malf unction or switch off completely.
- The radar sensor cover is heated. In win ­
ter conditions, you should st ill check be­
fore dr iv ing to make sure it is free of ice
and snow. If necessary, clean the area
near the radar sensor carefully
<=> fig . 126 .
-To ensure that the radar sensor is not
blocked, foreign objects (e.g . stickers,
larger license plate mounts, add-on
parts) mus t not cove r the area near the

How does adaptive cruise control work?
Applies to vehicles: wi th adap tive c ruise contro l
Vehicles traveling ahead are detected with
the aid of a radar sensor.
F ig. 127 Basic p rin ci pl e diag ram: Rada r se nso r me as­
urement ra n ge
Adaptive cruise cont ro l uses a radar senso r in
the front o f the vehicle<=>
fig. 12 7. The sys tem
has limitations <=>
page 125 . Things that are
not moving in your lane and in your direction
of t rave l will not be detected. The sensor
measures the distance to reflect ive surfaces
tha t must have a ce rt a in s ize. The system re­
spond s on ly after the distance measurement ..,.

has been made. If a measurement is not pos ­
sib le, the system cannot respond and wi ll not
react to a vehicle or someth ing else up ahead .
Open road
When the road is clear , the adaptive cru ise
control wo rks like cruise control.
It maintains
a constant target speed specified by the driv­
er.
Driving in traff ic
If a slower vehicle d riving ahead is detected,
the adaptive cru ise contro l decelerates (wi thin
the limits of the system) ¢
page 124, Driver
intervention prompt
and ¢ page 125, System
limitations
to its speed and after adjusting,
tr ies to maintain the set distance from the ve­
h icle ahead. The vehicle may temporarily drive
slower than the set speed while adjusting
¢ .&. in Description on page 113 .
If the vehicle in front accelerates, adaptive
cru ise control also accelerates up to the speed
t ha t you have set.
I f the vehicle ahead slows to a stop , ACC will
slow yo ur vehicle down and to a complete
s top if this is possible w ith in the system's lim­
its and capabilities. ACC will not make an
emergency stop . The text message
ACC off:
manual control! appears in the instrument
cluster display. Once the veh icle stops, you
must dep ress the brake pedal to prevent the
veh icle from mov ing forward or "creeping" .
Depressing the brake pedal turns
off ACC.
When the vehicle ahead accelerates yo u can
reactivate ACC
¢ page 118, as soon as your
vehicle has reached a speed of 1 mph (2 km/
h) .
Situat ion s requiring dri ver int ervention
In some situations you wi ll have to use the
footbrake to s low the vehicle down in order to
k eep a safe distance from vehicle in front of
you or to avo id a rear -end coll is ion. In this sit­
uation, a symbol appears and a warning tone
sounds ¢
page 124 .
Adapti ve crui se control 115
Passing another vehicle
If you move into the passing lane and no ve hi­
cle is detected ahead , the adapt ive cr uise con­
trol acce le rates to the speed you have set and
maintains it.
Overr iding ACC
You can in cr ease yo ur speed at a ny time by
stepping on the accelera tor ped al. A fter you
release the accelerator peda l, the system ad­
justs back down to the speed you prev ious ly
set .
Reducing stopp ing distance
If the radar sensor detects that the d istance
to the vehicle a head is less than de fined m ini­
mum distance, the brakes are automatically
prepared fo r emergency braking by the d river .
The brake pads are moved very close to the brake d iscs without actually braking the vehi­
cle. This brake assistant feature reacts more
quick ly to the dr ive r's brak ing, and also works
when adapt ive cruise control is
off . The stop­
ping distance is reduced as a result of th is ad­
vance brake p reparation . Th is fun ction does
not perform any emergency b rak ing mane u­
vers by itse lf; the dr iver mus t always apply the
brakes.
A WARNING
If ACC initiates a braking maneuver, the brake pedal w ill be retracted. Inter ference
with the brake peda l can prevent ACC from
slowing the veh icle down and cause a
crash and serious personal injury.
- Never put anything in the driver's foot­
well or let anyth ing fall into it. An object
in the driver's footwe ll can inte rfe re with
the peda ls and prevent the acce le rator
from being used to override ACC or pre­
vent ACC from being switched
off when
the brake pedal is depressed and also
prevent the vehicle from being slowed
down or stopped .
- Onl y use floor mats that keep the area
aroun d the peda ls free and that can be
securely fastened to the footwell .

_& WARNING
Improper use of the adaptive cruise con­
trol features and inattention can lead to a
crash and serious personal injury.
- Never allow the closing speed between
you and othe r vehicles to be so high that
the adaptive cruise contro l may not be
able to slow your vehicle safely. If clos­
ing speed is too high, you must apply the
brakes yo urself to reduce the risk of a
rear-end crash.
- Always select a greater following d is ­
tance to the vehicle up ahead on wet
roads than on dry roads.
- Always read and heed the information

i s excessive. Adaptive cruise control is tempo­
rarily not available. A warning tone sounds as
a reminder .
ACC: Not available
The text message ACC: Not available appears
in the event of a malfuncti on. Adaptive cruise
control is turned
off . A warning tone sounds
as a reminder. Have the system inspected by a
q ua lified dealership.
ACC: Sensor blocked
The text message ACC: Sensor blocked ap­
pears when the ACC System can no longer ac­
curately detect vehicles moving up ahead in
your lane of travel. Adaptive cruise control is turned
off. A warning tone also sounds as a re­
minder.
To decide whether it is necessary to switch
off
the ACC (ACC : Sensor blocked) or if it is only a
temporary condition (ACC functionality limit­
ed) the system will take into cons ideration the
outside temperature and/or the windshield
operat ion.
The ACC sensor is dirty or blocked (e.g. leaves,
snow).
The ACC sensor is located behind the area to
the right of the front license plate . If the ACC
sensor is dirty or blocked, clean the area to re­
store system operat ion.
ACC off: Manual control!
The text message ACC off: Manual control!
appears after the ve hicle has been brought to
a standstill by the adaptive cruise control. In
this case you must depress the brake peda l to
prevent the veh icle from rolling. A warn ing
tone sounds as a reminder.

ACC functionality limited
T he message ACC functionality limited ap­
pears when the ACC System does not detect
any moving vehicles up ahead in yo ur lane of
trave l for a longer period of time. During this
time, the distance to moving vehicles in your
lane of travel up ahead is not being ma in­
ta ined . The ACC system is not switched off,
and increased attention to the traffic situation
is absolutely necessary. The following may be
reasons why the message
ACC functionality
limited
appears :
- The ACC sensor is d irty . The ACC system is
not react ing, or is not reacting correctly, to
moving vehicles up ahead in your lane of
t ravel.
- There may be very light traffic on and there
is nothing that marks the side of the road
(for examp le, guard ra ils, traffic signs,
trees). As soon as a moving vehicle up ahead
is detected again, ACC becomes active again
and the message disappears.
T he ACC sensor is located be hind the area to
the right of the front license plate. If the ACC
senso r is dirty or blocked, clean the area to re­
store system operation.

System limitations
General information
Applies to vehicles: with adaptive cruise co ntrol
The radar sensor has limits that the driver
must know to be able to use ACC properly .
The adaptive cruise control works within lim­ its that are also related to radar sensor range
and sight distance . In some situations ACC
may react unusually or late from the driver's
point of v iew. Therefore, always be attent ive
to what is happening around you and always
be ready to intervene, if necessary:
-when driving around curves ¢page 125
- when vehicles up front are not in line with
your vehicle ¢ page 126
- when other veh icles are changing lanes
i=> page 126
- when other vehicles are difficult to detect i=>page 126
- when vehicles up ahead are not moving or obstacles are in your travel lane i=>page 126
A WARNING
The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving veh icles up ahead may not be
prompt ly detec ted or may not be detected
a t all.
- Always pay careful att ention to the traf­
fic s ituation and be ready to intervene
and be re ady to take comp lete cont rol
whenever necessary.

Audi braking guard
Description
Applies to vehicles: with a daptive cruise co ntrol
Audi braking guard warns you of a possible
collision with a moving vehicle up ahead .
Fig. 146 Display in the instrument cluster
The Audi braking guard is active from a speed
of approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) and works with­
in the system limits¢
page 125 even when
the adaptive cruise contro l is deactivated.
A radar sensor is bu ilt into the front of the ve­
hicle
¢page 114, fig. 127. The system is in­
tended to measure the distance to reflective
surfaces .
If a measurement is not possible,
the system does not respond.
When the measurement has been taken, the
system can recognize a possibly hazardous sit ­
uation, for example, whe n a vehicle up ahead
in your lane of trave l sudden ly brakes or when
your own vehicle is moving at high speed to­
wards a much slower vehicle up ahead . As
soon as the system senses that a possible col­
lision with the vehicle up ahead can only be
avoided by immed iate full brake application or
by an avoidance maneuver, a warning appears.
The system has a defau lt response time to be
able to signal before a collision occurs. This
system response time is automat ica lly re­
duced if you acce lerate actively, fo r example
to join a highway. Braking, transverse acceler­
ation and the steering angle can lead to a re­
duced system response time. The warning is
deactivated if you begin to overtake with full
acceleration .
Adaptive cruise control 127
The system can make you aware o f two differ­
ent hazardous situations:
Distance
The distance warning is given if the system
calculates that there is not enough distance
to the vehicle up ahead a period of more than
S seconds . If the distance is less than 30 feet
(9 meters) at SO mph (80 km/h), for examp le,
an optical display comes on in the instrument
cluster¢
fig. 146.
If the vehicle ahead brakes sharp ly, Audi brak­
ing guard cannot help you to avoid a collision,
even in the case of an immediate response.
Take immed iate action to avoid the co llision
and increase the distance to the vehicle up
ahead.
Speed
If there is a much slower vehicle moving up
ahead in your lane, or if the vehicle ahead
brakes sharply, the Aud i brak ing guard calcu­
lates the po int from which a collision can only
be avoided by full braking or by an avoidance
maneuver. If a warning does sound, a poss ible
collision with the ve hicle in front can on ly be
avo ided through an evasive maneuver or by
braking.
The warning is given in two stages :
-Pre-warning: A visual display appears in the
instrument cluster and a warning tone
sounds.
- Acute warning: If you do not respond to the
pre-warn ing, the second stage warning is
given. A quick brake application helps to di­
rect your attention to the road and traffic
situation.
Under heavy braking, the brake ass istant
¢
page 114 also helps you benef it from maxi­
mum brak ing efficiency.
A WARNING
Inatt ention can cause collisions, other ac­
cidents and serious personal injuries.

128 Adapti ve crui se co ntrol
-Always pay close attenti on to t he traffic,
even w hen the Aud i brak ing guard is
switched on. The Aud i b rak ing guard pro­
vides a warning but does no t brake the
car for you . You m ust apply t he brakes

-Audi braking guard works within limits and w ill not respond outs ide the system
limits, for examp le when approaching a
stopped vehicle or s tationary obstacle
(end of a traff ic jam or veh icle that has
broken down in traffic).
- Always remember th at the radar sensor
f or the A udi braking guard wo rks within
defined detection and range limits that
may prevent the proper detection of oth­
er veh icles.
- The radar sensor's function and range
can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray. Moving vehicles up ahead may not
be promptly detected or may not be de­
tected at al l.
- Always pay careful attention to the traf­
fic s ituation and be ready to intervene
and be ready to take comp lete control
whenever necessary.
- Reflective surfaces includ ing crash barri­
ers or tunnel entrances may impair the

Homelink
Universal remote
control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Home link
The HomeLink universal remote control can
be programmed with the remote control for
devices that are already present.
With Home Link, you can control devices such
as the garage door, security systems, house
lights , etc. comfortably from the inside of you
vehicle.
Homelink makes it possible for you to rep lace
three different remote controls from devices
in your home with one universal remote. This
feature works for most garage door and exte­
rior door motor signals. Programming the in­
dividual remote control for your remote con ­
trol takes place on the left side of the front bumper. There is a control module attached at
this location .
A one-time programming of the sensor must be performed before you are able to use sys­
tems with Homelink. If the system does not activate after performing the one-time pro­
gramming, check whether the system uses a rolling code
¢ page 163 .
A WARNING
-Never use the Homelink transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as required by federa l safety stand­
ards. This includes any garage door open­
er model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de­
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards . Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
Homelink 161
- For safety reasons never release the
parking brake or start the engine while
anyone is standing in front of the vehicle .
- A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the
Homelink remote control is being pro­
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac­
tivated, th is can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components - an
overheated mo to r i s a fire hazard!
- To avoid possib le injuries or property
damage, please always make abso lutely
certa in that no persons or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equipment being operated.

A WARNING
-Only wash the vehicle when the ignition
is off and follow the instructions from
the car wash operator to reduce the risk of accidents .
- To reduce the r isk of cuts, protect your­
self from sharp metal components when
wash ing the underbody or the inside of
t he wheel housings.
- After washing the vehicle, the braking ef­
fec t may be delayed due to mo isture on
the brake rotors or ice in the winter. The
brakes must be dried first with a few
careful brake applications.
Q) Note
- If you wash t he vehicle in an automatic
car wash, yo u must fold the exterior m ir­
rors in to reduce the r is k of damage to
the mirrors. Power folding exterior mir ­
rors* must only be folded in and out us­
ing the power folding function.
- Compare the track of your vehicle with
the distance between the guide rails of
the facility -there is a risk of damage to
the wheels and tires .
- Compare the height and width of your
vehicle with the he ight and width of the
tunnel at the fac ility. -
To prevent paint damage, do not wash
the vehicle in direct sunlight.
- T o reduce the r isk o f damage to the sur­
face, do not use insect removing spong­
es, kitchen sponges or similar items.
- Matte finish painted vehicle compo­ nents:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the
surface, do not use polishing agents or
ha rd wax .
- Never use car wash cycles that apply protective wax.
It can destroy the
matte fin ish effect .
- Do not place any stickers or magnet ic
signs on vehicle parts painted w ith
matte fin ish paint. The paint cou ld be
damaged when the stickers o r magnets
a re removed.
