[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 .•

System limitations
Applies to vehicles : with adapt ive cruise cont rol
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, always 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
• when other vehicles 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!•

Earl
y: This setting wa rns the driver before a wheel touches the
detected la ne bounda ry l ine. The warn ing depends on the vehicle's
angle as it approaches the bo undary line . If you app roach a bounda ry
line gradua lly, t he war ning will occ ur earlier. If you app roach the
boundary line at a very sharp angle, the warning will occur just before
a whee l touches the line.
Adapti ve : In this setting, the warning time adjusts to the character

Please note that low objects already signaled by a warning can disap
pear from the system's detection range and will not continue to be
signaled.
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same, the vo lume of the
distance warning is gradually reduced after about 4 seconds.
Approaching another obstacle will result in the distance warning
sounding at the normal volume again.
Malfunctions in the system
If a warning tone is aud ible for about five seconds when you turn on
the ignition , there is a malfunction in the system. Have the problem
corrected by your authorized Audi dealer.
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and free from ice so that
the acoustic park assist system can function properly.
& WARNING
• Sensors have dead spaces in which objects cannot be detected.
Be especially alert for small children and animals, since they are
not always detected by the sensors.
• The Acoustic Parking System is not a substitute for the driver's
own caution and alertness. Ultimate respon sibility always
remains with the driver during parking and similar maneuvers.
Always watch where you are driving.
• You should always adjust the volume and frequency of the
chimes so that you can easily hear the acoustic distance warning
even if the radio is playing, the air-conditioner blower is on High
or there is a high level of outside noise .
- Check the settings whenever anyone else has driven the
vehicle before you.
0 Note
• Remember that low obstacles for which a warning has already
been issued may "dive" below the system 's sensing zone if the veh icle
is be ing backed up closer . In this case, the warning sound shutting off
Controls and equip
ment Safety first
does not ind
icate that you have cleared the obstacle . Instead, impact
is immin ent.
• Objects such as trai ler hitches, chains, narrow posts or fences
covered by a thin layer of paint may not always be detec ted by the
system . They can still damage your vehicle w ithout warning .
