Electronic speed Limiter
Your v ehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). This is less than the maximum sp eed
of your vehicle . To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat­ ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter . The electronic speed
lim iter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the t ire speed rating. For mo re information
<=> page 333.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed s ignals , the Malfunction Indicator
L amp (MIL)
¢..ffi will illumina te . If this occurs,
con tact the nearest au thorized A ud i dealer for
assistance.
_& WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust you r speed to suit prevailing road, traf­
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires installed .
Speed warning system
Introduction
Applies 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 wa rning tone will sound as soon as you r speed
ex ceeds the s tored v alue s light ly. Th e indicato r
light also turns on in the instrument cluster dis ­
p lay
ct] (USA models)/ [SJ (Canada models) and
a message . The indicator light
(CJ / [SJ and the
message turn off if the speed falls back be low
the stored maximum speed.
Se tting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when yo u reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gene r-
102
al speed limit or if there is a spec ified maximum
speed for winter tires.

your 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
hydroplaning), because th is increases the
risk of an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporar ily
when driving in turn ing lanes, h ighway exits

:E Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 100 Detect ion range
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina­
tion of speed and distance regulation.
It assists
the dr iver by both regulat ing the speed and
maintaining a distance to the vehicle driving
ahead, within the limits of the system .
If the sys­
tem detects a vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive
cruise control can brake and accelerate your vehi­
cle. This makes dr iving more comfortable both
on long stretches of highway and in stop-and-go
traffic.
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video, ra­
dar, ultrasound and navigation data. Vehicles
driving ahead can be recognized up to
650 feet
(200 m) away.
Predictive funct ions offer the driver additional
comfort and contribute to the reduction in fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions
¢page 113.
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise control system. The stored speed is main­
tained. When approaching a vehicle driving
ahead, the adaptive cruise control system auto­
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and the n maintains the set distance. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle driving
ahead, adaptive cruise control accelerates up to
the stored speed.
In stop-and-go traffic, adaptive cru ise control ca n
brake until the vehicle is stationary and then can
Assistance systems
also start driving again automatically under cer­
tain conditions
¢page 110.
In traffic jams or stop-and-go traffic, traffic jam
ass ist can assist the driver¢
page 114.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adapt ive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
¢page 109, Switching on/off.
When driving, you can stop cruise control
¢page 111 or change the speed <::;>page 110 at
any time.
You can also set the distance to the vehicle driv­ ing ahead and set the driving mode of the adap­
tive cruise control¢
page 111.
General information
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 101 F ront of the vehicle : sensors and video camera
The areas with the radar and ultrasonic sensors
and the video camera
i::> fig . 101 must not be cov­
ered by stickers, depos its or any other objects,
because this can interfere with the adaptive
cruise control function. For informat io n on clean­
ing, see<::;>
page 354. The same applies for any
modifications made in the front area.
In some driving situations, the adaptive cruise
control function is restricted:
- Vehicles can only be detected when they are
with in the sensor detection zones<::;>
page 107,
fig . 100.
- The system has a limited ability to detect
vehicles that are a short distance ahead, off to
the side of your veh icle or moving into your
lane .
107

Assistance systems
-Objects that are difficult to detect such as mo­
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance
or an overhang ing load are detected late or not
detected at all.
- When driving through curves
c:;, poge 108.
-When the vehicle is stationary r::;, page 108.
_& WARNING
Always pay attention to the traffic around you
when adaptive cruise control is switched on.
As the driver, you are still responsible for your
own speed and the distance to other vehicles.
The adaptive cruise control is used to assist
you . The driver must always take action to
avoid a collision. The driver is always responsi­
ble for braking at the correct time.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather condi­
tions (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning). Using the system under
these conditions increases the risk of an ac­
cident.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora­
rily when driving in turning lanes, on ex­
pressway exits (except if predictive control
is switched on) or in construction zones.
This prevents the vehicle from accelerating
to the stored speed when in these situa­
tions.
- The adaptive cruise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
- When approaching stationary obstacles
such as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise con­
trol will respond with limited function.
- Adaptive cruise control does not respond to
people, animals, or crossing or oncoming
objects .
- The function of the radar sensors can be af­
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
108
underbody. This can impair the adaptive
cruise control. Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
(D Tips
For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see

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 .

A WARNING
- Read the warnings on ¢.&. in General infor­

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
