•• Drive system: system fault! Safely park
vehicle
There is a malfunction in the plug-in hybrid sys­
tem. The brake booster and the power steering
may stop working. Stop the vehicle immediately
or as soon as possible. Park the vehicle in a safe place outdoors that is not near buildings, roof
overhangs, carports or similar structures. Switch
the ignition off. Have the problem corrected by
an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
•• Electric drive: overheated! Safely stop
vehicle and check coolant
The coolant level is too low or the coolant tem­
perature is too high.
Stop the vehicle in the outdoors as soon as it is
safely possible. Switch the ignition off.
Read the important safety
precautions ¢.& in
Coolant on page 103
and check the coolant level
¢page 102.
If the coolant level is OK, the malfunction may be
caused by the system overheating. Let the vehi­
cle's electric drive system cool down for some
time .
If the message turns off after cooling down and
switching the ignition back on, you can continue
driving. Contact an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the malfunction corrected.
If the indicator light stays on, contact an author­
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili­
ty.

Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

F ig . 122 De tect ion range
A ss istance systems
T he adaptive cruise cont rol system is a combina­
tion of speed and distance regu lation.
It assists
the driver by both regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d istance to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, w ith in 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 . T his increases d riving comfort during long
trips o n highways and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adap tiv e crui se con trol do ?
The adaptive cru ise control sys tem uses radar .
The radar is subject to designated system limits
¢ page 124 .
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise contro l system . The stored speed is main­
ta ined . When approaching a vehicle ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cruise control
system automat ically brakes to match that ob­
ject's speed and t hen maintains the stored d is­
t a nce. As soon as t he sys tem does not de tec t a
vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise cont ro l ac ­
ce lerates up to the stored speed .
Within the lim its of t he sys tem, adapt ive cru ise
contro l can brake in stop -and-go t raff ic until t he
vehicle is s tat iona ry and then begin driving again
under certain conditions ¢
page 12 7, Driving in
stop-ond-go traffic .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switc h adap tive cr uise control o n, you
can set the cur rent speed as the "contro l speed"
¢ page 12 5, Switching on/off .
When driving, yo u can stop cru ise cont rol
¢ page 127 or change the speed ¢page 126 at
any t ime .
You can also set the distance to the vehicle ahead and set the adaptive c ruise cont rol d riving pro­

Based on the graphics in the d isp lay, you can de­

a vehicle ahead and what that distance to this ve­

No vehicle -no vehicle was detected driving

bars become red from the bottom upward.
A WARNING
If you press the ISE TI b utton when driving at
speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), the vehicle
accelerates automat ica lly up to 20 mph (30
km/h), which is the m inimum speed that can
be set.

@ Tips
- If you switch the ignition or the adaptive
cruise control system off, the set speed is
erased for safety reasons.
- The electronic stabilization control (ESC)
and the anti-slip-regulation (ASR) are auto­
matically switc hed on when the adaptive
cruise control is switched on.
