Camera-based traffic
sign recognition
Description
Applies to: ve hicles with ca mera·based t raffic sign recogni·
tion
F ig. 97 Instrument cluste r: traff ic sign recogn it ion
F ig. 98 Windsh ield: came ra window for t raffic s ig n recog­
ni tio n
Traff ic sign recognition assists you when driving
by displaying detected speed limits or s igns pro­
hibiting passing in the instrument cluster display
c:;, fig . 97 . Within the limits of the system, the le­
gal speed lim its in school zones are detected and
disp layed .
General information
Traffic sign recognit ion can detect standard
speed limit signs that are within the camera's vis­
ual field . With ass istance from navigation data,
104
detected speed limits are evaluated and shown in
the display . The traffic sign for the current de­
tected speed lim it will blink in the display if you
exceed the warning thresho ld set in the Infotain­
ment system
c;, page 105.
The traffic sign recognition is subject to certain
system limitations and may be unavai lable or on­
ly partially avai lable in the follow ing situations :
- when visibility is poor, such as in snow, rain,
fog or heavy spray
-when there is glare, for example from oncom­
ing traffic or the sun
- at high speeds
- if the camera's visual field
¢ fig. 98 is covered,
for examp le by dirt or st ickers. For info rmation
on cleaning, see
¢page 354 .
-if the tra ffic signs are completely or partially
covered, for examp le by trees, snow, dirt or
other vehicles
- if speed traffic signs do not conform to the
standards
- if traffic signs are damaged or bent
- if traffic signs are displayed on sign holders
w ith electronic signs
- if the traffic signs or the configuration of the
road have changed (navigation data is no lon­
ger up-to-date)
.&_ WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when traffic sign recognition is
turned on . The traffic signs insta lled on the
road always take precedence over the display.
The driver is always responsible for assess ing
the traffic situation.
- Under some circumstances, traffic sign rec­
ognition may not detect traffic signs cor­
rectly or detect them at a ll. As a result, the
system may not display the correct speed
lim it or any speed limit .
- Traff ic sign recognit ion does not adapt your
veh icle's speed to match the speed limit!
- The display in the instrument cluster is
based on the units of measurement used for
speed in that country. As a result, the dis­
play
SO in the instrument cluster can mean
-

save fuel. The system accesses predictive trip da­
ta (including speed limits, inclines and the radius
of c urves) from the navigat ion system* . Informa­
tion from the camera-based traff ic sign recogn i­
tion* is also applied to recognize traffic signs
,:::;,page 104 .
The messages displayed depend on the naviga ­
tion data* being up-to-date and the correct iden­
tification by the traffic sign recognition*.
When adaptive cruise contro l* is switched off,
the predictive efficiency ass ist only provides noti­
f ications without controlled interventions. When
adapt ive cruise control* is switched on, the sys­
tem responds to upcoming situations automati­
cally .
Vehicles with adaptive cruise control*
Refer to predictive control c::;, page 113.
Indicator in the instrument cluster display
Predictive messages appear in the instrument
cluster display to show the driver the appropriate
time to coast when a situation ahead requires
you to drive at a lower speed.
The messages are only shown if the cr uise control
system* or adaptive cruise contro l* is switched
off.
An additional indicat or appears in the head-up
display* .
Symbol Meaning
Remove your foot from the acceler-
~
ator pedal to slow down, because
there is a situat ion ahead that re-
quires a lower speed.
If you see
Driver assistance in the inst rument
cluster display, the following symbo ls wi ll indi ­

.8, WARNING
Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when the efficiency ass ist is
switched on. The driver is always respons ible
for assessing the traffic situation .
© Tips
- The wo rding of the message may vary de­
pending on the driving mode set in drive se­
lect*
¢page 134 and the current selector
lever position. No messages are disp layed
when in the S selector lever position or in
Dynamic mode .
- When a route is p lanned using the nav iga­
tion system*, then the message feed is
based on th is route. Without route guid­
ance, the system uses an assumed route for
the message feed.
- There will not be a message for every s itua­
t ion ahead, for example if there is not
enough distance remaining to react to the
situat ion .
- No messages are displayed when at speeds

: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

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¢

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 .
