System limitations
Applies to vehic les : with Adapt ive Crui se Co ntro l
General information
The radar sensor has limits that the driver must know to
b e able to use AC C properly.
The Adaptive Cruise Control works within limits that are also re lated
to radar sensor range and sight d istance. In some situations ACC
may react unusually or late from the driver's point of view. There ­
fore, always be attentive to what is happening around you and
a lways be ready to in tervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves=>
page 140
• whe n vehicles up front are not in line with y our vehicle
=>
page 141
• when other vehicles a re changing lanes => page 141
• when other vehicles are difficu lt to detect => page 141.
• when vehicles up ahead are not moving or obstacles are in your
travel lane=>
page 141
& WARNING
The radar sensor's function and range can be r educed by rain ,
sn ow and he avy spray. Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
promptly det ected or ma y not be det ected at all.
• Alway s pay careful attention to the traffi c situatio n a nd be

Setting th e warning tim e
Earl y:
This setting warns the driver before a wheel touches the
detected lane boundary line. The warning depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the boundary line . If you approach a
boundary l ine gradua lly, the warning will occur ear lier. If you
approach the boundary line at a very sharp angle, the warning wi ll
occur just before a whee l touches the line.
Adapti ve : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the character ­
istics of the road and the vehicle speed. The warning occurs later for
curves and occurs earlier for straight stretches of road . The warning
occurs later on narrow roads than on wide roads.
Late: This setting warns the driver when a whee l drives over the
detected lane boundary line.
Se ttin g th e steering wheel vibrat ion
When adjusting the steering wheel vibration, the steering wheel
v ibrates so that you can check the intensity you have set.
[ i ] Tips
• When making the adjustment, lane assist is not activated . The
steering whee l vibrates briefly only to assist you in changing the
setting .
• Your settings are automatically stored and assigned to the

& WARNING (continued)
• Maintain plenty of distance from an obstacle, so that your
outside mirror or a corner of your vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles - danger of accident!
• The Audi Parking System is not a substitute for being careful
and alert when backing up. Be especially careful during parking
and similar maneuvers. Always watch where you are driving and
make sure that nothing is in the way.
• When maneuvering or parking, do not only use the MMI Display
for orientation. Certain objects -depending on the screen resolu­
tion -may not, or not entirely, be displayed ; for example trailer
hitches, chains, narrow posts, or fences . •

& WARNING
• Never use the Homelinkl1JI transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards . This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object , signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death .
& WARNING (continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed . If the device is repeatedly activated , this can over ­
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over­
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage , please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.

9. The emergency flashers will flash three times (after
about 15-60 seconds) when the programming is
successful. Release the button on the remote control.
- To program more devices, repeat steps 4 to 9.
10. Press and hold the trained Homelink® button and
observe the indicator light@=> page 189, fig. 192.
- If the indicator light is solid/continuous, programming is
complete and your device should activate when you press and release the trained Homelink® button.
- If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and is
then a solid/continuous light, proceed with phase 3 to program a rolling code device.
Phase 3: rolling code programming
- A second person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
11. Locate the "learn" button on the garage door opener
motor (refer to the operating instructions for the opener,
as the location of this button may vary by manufacturer).
12. Press and release the learn button on the garage door
opener motor.

which to initiate the next step.
13. On the Homelink® keypad inside the vehicle, firmly
press and hold the Homelink ® button previously
programmed in phases 1 and 2 for two seconds and
release. Repeat this sequence
twice .
- Some vehicles may require the press/hold/release
sequence up to three times to complete the training
process.
- Homelink® should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded, the emergency flashers will
flash one time
to indicate that the process has been terminated. In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9.
If the emergency flashers do not flash
three times (after about 15-
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat
steps 4 through 9 .
Remote control units for garage door openers in Canada are set to
stop transmitting radio frequency signals after two seconds. This
time may not b e sufficient for the Homelink® system to learn the
radio frequency signal. Perform all other steps as described
above. •
