Applies to veh icles: with electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with ti res
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h) . T his is less than the maximum speed
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
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tir e speed rat ing . For more information
~page 221.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed signals, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL)
¢4 will illuminate . If this occurs,
contact the nearest a utho rized Audi dealer for as­
sistance .
A WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your 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
The speed warning system helps you to stay un­
der a specified maximum speed.
-
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
You will hear a warning tone when your speed ex­
ceeds the stored value by approximately 3 mph
(3 km/h) . Th e. (USA models)/. (Canada
models) indicator light and the message
Speed
limit exceeded!
appear in the instrument cluster
disp lay at the same time . The ./. indicator
light turns off when the speed decreases below
the stored maximum speed.
Setting a thresho ld is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you re ach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener-
94
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
(D Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit .
Setting the threshold
You can set, change and delete the threshold in
the MMI.
.. Select: the I MENU I button >Car> Systems*
contro l button > Driver assistance > Speed
warning.
You can set any threshold between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and 150 mph (240 km/h) . Settings
can each be adjusted in increments of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Cruise control system
· Description
Applies to vehicles: with cruise control system
The cruise control system makes it poss ible to
drive at a constant speed starting at 15 mph
(20 km/h).
The speed is kept constant by modify ing engine
power or through an act ive brake intervention.
A WARNING
- Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control is in operation.
You are a lways responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and
other vehicles.
- For reasons of safety, cruise contro l should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on winding roads and when road condi­ tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain and hydroplaning) -you could
have an accident .
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driv ing in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones .

Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to veh icles: w ith Audi adaptive cruise control
F ig. 80 Det ect ion rang e
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina­
tion of speed and distance reg ulation . It assists
the driver by bot h reg ulating the speed and
maintaining a distance to the object ahead, w ith -
96
in the abilities o f the system. If the system de­
tects an object, adaptive cruise control can brake
and acce lerate your veh icle . This makes driving
more comfortab le both on long stretches of
highway and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adaptive crui se con trol do?
The adaptive cruise contro l system uses radar
and a video camera. The radar is subject to desig ­
nated system limits
q page 97.
On open roads with no traffic, it funct ions like a
cruise control system . The stored speed is main­
tained. When approaching an object ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cruise control
system automatically brakes to match that ob­
ject's speed and then maintains the stored dis­
tance. As soon as the system does not detect an object ahead, adapt ive cr uise control accelerates
up to the sto red speed .
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can brake in stop -and -go traffic until the
vehicle is stat iona ry and then beg in driving again
under certain cond itions
q page 100, Driving in
stop-and-go traff ic.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you swi tch adapt ive cru ise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
q page 98, Switching on/off .
When driving, yo u can stop cruise contro l
q page 100 or change the speed q page 100 at
any time .
You can also adjust the following sett ings:

When approaching an object detected ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system brakes to match
that object's speed and then regu lates to the
stored distance. If the object detected ahead ac­
celerates, adaptive cruise control will also accel­
erate up to the stored speed .
The higher the speed, the greater the distance in meters
c> .&. . The Distanc e 3 setting is recom­
mended. That is equal to the general recommen­
dation of "half the speed shown on the speedom ­
eter" .
The distances provided are example values. De­ pending on the driv ing s ituation, the current
speed and the way the object detected ahead is
driv ing, the actual d istance may be more or less
than these target distances.
c::::::, _c::::::, ___ Distance 1: This setting corresponds

A WARNING
- Driving too close to other vehicles inc reases
the risk of coll is ions and ser io us in juries.
- Sett ing s ho rt distances to veh icles ahead re­
duces the dist ance and time that you have

Fi g. 98 Rear of vehicle: sensor pos itio ns
Side assist functions at speeds above approx i­
mately 19 mph (30 km/h).
@ Vehicles th at ar e approaching
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classified as
cr itical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faste r a vehicle approaches,
the soo ner t he d isplay in the exter io r mirro r will
t ur n on.
@ Vehicl es traveling with you
Veh icles traveling w ith you are indicated in the
exte rior m irror if they are classified as cr itical for
a lane change. All ve hicl es detected by side assist
110
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest .
© Vehicles left behind
If you slow ly pass a veh icle that side assist has
de tected (the difference in speed be tween the ve­
hi cle and your ve hicl e is less than 9 mph o r 1S
km/h), the display in the exterior mirror turns on
as soon as the vehicle enters yo ur blind spot.
T he disp lay will not t urn on if you quickly p ass a
vehicle that side ass ist has de te cted (the differ­
ence in speed between the vehicle and your vehi­
cle is greater than 9 mph or 1S km/h).
Functional limitations
The radar senso rs are des igned to detect the left
and rig ht adjacent lanes when the road lanes a re
the norma l width . In some si tua tions, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti­
ca l for a lane change. For example:
- If the lanes are nar row o r if your are driving on
the edge of your lane. If t his is t he case, the
system may have detected the vehicle in anoth­
er lane that is
not adjacent to yo ur current lane.
- If you are driving t hro ugh a curve. S ide assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over from
the adjacent lane.
- If side assist reacts to other objects (s uch as
high or disp laced guard rails) .
- In poor weather conditions . The side assist
functions are limited.
Do no t cover the radar sensors ¢
fig. 98 with
stickers, depos its, bicy cle wheels or other ob ­
jects, beca use this will affect the function . For in­
format ion on cleaning, see

- In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor range.
- Audi side assist cannot detect all vehicles
under all conditions, which can increase the
risk of accidents .
- Please note that side assist only displays ap­
proaching vehicles or vehicles in your blind
spot if your vehicle is traveling at least
19 mph (30 km/h).
- In certain situations, the system may not
work or its function may be limited. For ex­
ample:
- The display may not turn on at the right
time if vehicles are approaching or passing
very quickly.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow or fog.
- In very wide lanes, in tight curves or when
there are slopes in the roadway, vehicles in
the neighboring lanes may not be detect­
ed because they are outside of the sensor
range .
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can affect the system. Have
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility check their function .
