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.•

& WARNING (continued)
• The spare tire is intended only for temporary and short-term
use. It should be replaced as soon as possible with the normal
wheel and tire.
• After mounting the compact spare tire, the tire pressure must
be checked as soon as possible. The tire pressure of the compact
spare tire must be 4.2 bar; otherwise, you risk having an accident.
• Do not drive faster than SO mph (80 km/h). You risk having an
accident.
• Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and fast
cornering. You risk having an accident.
• Never drive using more than one spare wheel and tire. You risk
having an accident.
• Normal summer or winter tires must not be mounted on the
compact spare wheel rim.
• For technical reasons, the use of tire chains on the spare tire is
not permitted.
If it is necessary to drive with tire chains, the spare
wheel must be mounted on the front axle in the event of a flat in a rear tire. The newly available front wheel must then be installed
in place of the rear wheel with the flat tire. Installing the tire
chain before mounting the wheel and tire is recommended.
• Loose items in the passenger compartment can cause serious
personal injury during hard braking or in an accident.
- Never store the inflatable spare tire or jack and tools in the passenger compartment.
- Always store all jacking equipment, tools, and the inflatable
spare tire in the luggage compartment.
- Tighten the knurled retaining screw for the inflatable spare
tire securely. •
Changing a wheel
Before changing a wheel
Observe the following precautions for your own and your
passenger's safety when changing a wheel.
-After you experience a tire failure, pull the car well away
from moving traffic and try to reach level ground before
you stop :::> & .
- All passengers should leave the car and move to a safe
location (for instance, behind the guardrail):::>& .
- Engage the parking brake to prevent your vehicle from
rolling unintentionally:::> &.
- Move selector lever to position P :::> & .
- If you are towing a trailer: unhitch the trailer from your
vehicle.
- Take the jack:::>
page 318 and the spare tire :::> page 319
out of the luggage compartment.
& WARNING
You or your passengers could be injured while changing a wheel if
you do not follow these safety precautions:
• If you have a flat tire, move a safe distance off the road. Turn
off the engine, turn the emergency flashers on and use other
warning devices to alert other motorists.
• Make sure that passengers wait in a safe place away from the
vehicle and well away from the road and traffic.
• To help prevent the vehicle from moving suddenly and possibly
slipping off the jack, always fully set the parking brake and block
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel being changed with the
folding chocks or other objects. When one front wheel is lifted off
