[I) Tips
• If the adaptive cruise control initiates brak ing, the hydraulic brake
system is under pressure. Therefore, the brake pedal distance is
shorter and the peda l "feels" harder.
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after pressing the foot­
brake. The speed saved up this poi nt can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press the
control lever:::::,
page 120, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporari ly".
• If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed of the object
ahead of you, the
driver intervention prompt will not be accompa­
nied by a warn ing s ignal.
• If the speed you prev iously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedometer will switch off .•

In
the driving program menu you can adjust the character istics of
adaptive cru ise control to what you want using
dynamic , standard or

Saving settings
Your individual settings are automatica lly saved and assigned to the
remote control key being used (remote key storage) . If the key is
given to another person, the saved settings remain as they are. •

General information
Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor are described below.
When driving, the adaptive cru ise contro l is governed by physical and
system-specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the ACC
system may react unexpectedly or late from the driver's point of view.
Therefore, a lways be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves:::::,
page 128
• when vehicles in front are not in line with your vehicle:::::, page 128
• whe n other ve hicles are changing lanes:::::, page 128
• when other vehicles are difficult to detect:::::, page 129.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray . This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inadequately
detected or, in some circumstances , not detected at all. If neces­
sary, take action yourself!•

When entering a curve, the adaptive cruise control may react to a
vehicle in the next lane and apply the brakes in your vehicle
=> fig. 125. The braking action can be overridden by depressing the
accelerator pedal.
Leaving a curve
At the exit from very long curves the predictive lane reading can cause
the adap tive cruise control to react to another vehicle in the next lane
and apply the brakes in your vehicle => fig. 126. The braking action
can be overridden by depressing the accelerator pedal.•

The Audi braking guard is active from a speed of approx. 20 mph
(30 km/h) and works within the system limits=>
page 12 7 even when
the adaptive cruise control is deactivated.
A radar sensor is built into the front of the vehicle=>
page 116,
fig. 113. The system is intended to measure the distance to reflective
surfaces. If a measurement is not possible, the system does not
respond.
When the measurement has taken place, the system can assess a
hazardous situation, when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes or when
your own vehicle is dr iving at high speed towards a much slower
vehicle ahead. As soon as the system assumes that a possible colli­
sion w ith the vehicle ahead can only be avoided by immediate all-out
braking or by an avoiding maneuver, a warning appears .
Th e system has a pre-set response time to be able to warn in good
time. This system response time is automatically reduced if you accel­
erate actively, for example to join a highway. Braking, transverse
acceleration and the steering angle can lead to a reduced system
response time. The warning is deactivated if you begin to overtake
with full accelerat ion.
The system draws your attention to two different hazardous situa ­
tions:
Distance
Th e distance wa rning is issued in the event of inadequate distance to
the vehicle ahead a period of more than S seconds. If the distance is
less than 30 feet (9 meters) at SO mph (80 km/h), for example, an
optical display is faded in on the instrument cluster=>
page 129,
fig. 132.
If the vehicle ahead brakes sharply, a collision cannot be avoided,
even in the case of an immediate response. In this case, increase the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Speed
If there is a much slower vehicle ahead in your lane, or if the vehicle
ahead brakes sha rply, the Audi braking guard calculates the point from which a collision can only be avoided by all-out braking or by an
avoiding maneuver. If a warning does sound, a possible collision with
the vehicle in front can be avoided through an evasive maneuver or by
braking.
Th e warn ing is given in two stages:
• Pre-warning: An optical display appears in the instrument cluster
and a warning tone sounds.
• Acute warning: If you do not respond to the pre-warning, the
second stage, the acute warning, is issued. A brake jolt reminds you
to concentrate on the road again.
Under heavy breaking, brake assist =>
page 245 also helps you obtain
maximum braking effic ien cy.
& WARNING
Always pay attention to traffic, even when the Audi braking guard
is switched on. You are always resp onsible for
your speed and the
distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
• Always keep the legally stipulated safety distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead -danger of accident!
• The Audi braking guard does not respond outside the system
limits, for example if you approach a stationary obstacle (end of a
traffic jam or breakdown vehicle).
• Please observe that the Audi braking guard is subject to restric­
tions in narrow bends due to the field of vision of the radar sensor.
This may possibly lead to obstacles not being detected.
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced by rain, snow and
heavy spray . This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inade­
quately detected or, in some circumstances, not detected at all.
Always watch where you are driving.
• Reflecting objects such as e.g. crash barriers or the entrance to
a tunnel may impair the function of the radar sensor.•

Aud i Lane assist
Lane assist
Applies to veh icles : w ith lane assist
Description
Lane assist helps you keep your vehicle in your lane.
Lane assist uses a camera to detect lane boundary lines. If the system
detects that your vehicle is about to leave a lane boundary line, the
steering wheel
vibrates to alert the driver. If lane assist detects
boundary lines on both sides o f the veh icle's lane, the system enters
act ive standby mode, which is indicated by t he gree n indicator light
/ : on the instrument cluster .
If the system is in active standby mode and the turn signal is acti­
vated before driving over the boundary line , the warning does not
occur sinc e th e system allows for in tention al lane changes.
The system is designed for driving on freeways and expanded high­
ways and th us works only at speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
& WARNING
• Lane assist will not keep your vehicle in your lane. The system
only warns the driver when the vehicle is leaving the lane. The
driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle in the lane.
• The camera is not able to detect all lane boundary lines and in
some cases might also detect lane structures or objects as
boundary lines. This can lead to incorrect warnings or warnings
that fail to go off at all.
• The camera's visibility can be impaired by vehicles ahead of
you, for instance, or by rain, snow, heavy spray or light shining
into the camera lens. This can cause lane assist to fail to detect
boundary lines. •

lane boundary lines . -.,

Audi lane assist ml
----------------
Not ready: The yellow indicator light shows that the system is
turned on but unable to send a warning. This can be due to the
following:
• Th ere are no boundary lines, or there is only one boundary line
present.
• The boundary lines are not detected (e .g . due to snow, dirt, wet
conditions or light shining into the camera lens).
• More than two boundary lines (such as at construction sites) are
located in the vehicle's lane.
• Th e vehicle's speed is below the speed needed to activate it, which
is about 40 mph (65 km/h) .
• Th e lane is narrowe r than about 8
ft. (2.5 m), or wider than about
16 ft. (5 m).
• The curve is too sharp.
Notes on the instrument cluster display
When the lane assist turns off automatically, the instrument cluster
indicator goes out and one of the fo llowing messages appears on the
display:
Audi lane assist not available: currently no sensor vision
This message appears when the camera can no longer function
because it cannot detect the boundary lines. This may be due to the
following:
• Th e exte rior side of the camera viewing window=>
page 132,
fig. 134 is covered with dirt or ice. Clean this part of the windsh ield.
• Th e came ra viewing window is fogged up on the inside. In this
case, wait until the fog disappears before turning lane assist on
again.
• Th e system was unable to detect boundary lines over an extended
period of time due to road conditions (such as snow-cove red lanes).
Do not turn lane assist on aga in until the lines can be more easily
detected.
