:E Predictive control
(efficiency assist)
Description
App lies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise co ntro l an d pr e·
di ctive efficiency assist
Fig. 111 Instrument cluster: pred ictive control
General information
The predictive control 1l uses the map informa­
tion from the navigation system in order to react
proact ively when driv ing. Information from the
camera-based traffic sign recognition* is also ap­ plied to recognize traffic signs
<:!)page 104.
When coming up to areas with speed limits or
changes in the course of the road (such as curves,
intersections or traffic circles), the system brakes
automatically and then accelerates back up to
the set speed .
When adaptive cruise control is switched off, the
system only provides notifications without con­
trolled interventions ¢
page 105.
The driver can override the predictive control at
any time by pressing the accelerator or brake
pedal. If the system changes the vehicle speed to
adapt to speed limits, you can change the speed
using the lever
¢ page 110, fig. 106 .
Always switch off the predictive control in
the following situations:
- When increased attention is needed from the
driver .
- In poor weather conditions such as snow or
heavy rain.
- When driving on roads in poor condition .
ll This is not ava ila ble in some co untrie s.
Assistance systems
Indicator in the instrument cluster display
When switching on the adaptive cruise contro l
for the first time, the message
ACC: 11D + B ac­
tive
in the instrument cluster indicates the avail·
ability of the predictive control.
T he symbol appears when the system
is regulating the speed to match a speed limit . If
this is the case, the system is reg ulating a speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h). The speed is then taken
over by the adaptive cruise control. The speed in
the speedometer LED ring adjusts to the speed to
be maintained
¢ page 109, fig . 105. The ..
¢
fig . 111 symbo l appears when there is an adap ­
tation to the route ahead .
If you are in the Driver assistance display in the
instrument cluster, then the following symbols
will indicate which occurrence the system is cur­
rently responding to:

A WARNING
- Read the warnings on ¢.&. in General infor­
mation on page 108
and on¢ .&. in Descrip­
tion on page 104 .
- Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your veh icle when predictive control is
switched on. The driver is always responsi­
ble for assessing the traffic situation.
- There is an increase in the risk of an acci­
dent, because the system does not consider
"right of way" rules and also does not re-
spond to traffic lights. ._.
113

Ass is tance sy stems
- The system only considers traffic s igns that
give a speed limit.
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The
driver is responsible for adhering to the per­
mitted speed .
- The speed at which a curve is driven through
does not necessarily match your own dr iving
sty le . Brake the vehicle yourself when need­
ed to reduce the risk of a n accident.
(D Tips
- If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
LED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not act ive.
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switch ing off pred ictive control , for exam­
ple when dr iv ing in low traffic zones, does
not ca use the adaptive cru ise control to
switc h off .
- After switching on the ignit ion, the system
i nit ially adj usts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driving onto highways
without a spee d limit . T he n the system ad­
ju sts to the last speed stored by the driver.
- T here is no adapt ation to speed limits when
driv ing through highway inte rchanges an d
when d riving on o r off the ex pres sway.
- T here is no pre dic tive con trol at speed limits
u nder 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam­
e ra and the actual speed is s ignific antly
higher, the n the speed limit will bli nk i n t he
dis play u nti l you have reached the re qui red
speed
¢ page 105.
-Incorrect v alues from the camera -based
traffic sign recognition* or outdated naviga­
tion system map data can lead to incorrect
or implausible contro l.
- When route guidance is switched o n, the
system adapts to the route provided by the
navigation system. Driving without route
g uidance or leaving a route can resu lt in im­
plaus ible control.
114
- The system switches of f when ou tside of a
road system that is recorded in the naviga­
t ion system map data .
Setting predictive control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adapt ive cru ise control and p re­
dictive efficiency ass ist
.. Select in the Infotainment system: IMENU ! but­
ton

Set speed limit -
when this function is switched
on, the system adjusts to the sp eed limits. This
can a lso be done with at to lerance, if desired. In
th is scenario, you may fall below or exceed the
set speed in favor of increased efficiency .
Adaptation to route ahead -when this function
is sw itched on, the system adapts to the route
ahead (such as reducing the speed in curves).

With in the limits of the system, the night vision
assist can detect pedes tria ns and w ild an imals
that are between approximately 32 feet (10 m)
and 295 feet (90 m) in front of the vehicle and
within the detection zone. Within the limits of
the system

ognition is not active within highly developed
areas . The system only detects large wild animals
such as deer .
@ Tips
If another display (such as navigation) repla­
ces the image from the night vision ass ist, the

- There is also an audible signal.
The area classified as c ritical is based on the veh i­
cle speed and the steeri ng wheel angle . Pedes­
trian and wild animal warning enco urages you to
pay more attention.
If the night vision assist image is rep laced by an­
othe r d isplay (such as the on-board compute r),
