110 Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard
@ Indicator lights
r• 1-Adaptive cruise control is switched on . No
vehicles are detected up ahead. The stored
speed is maintained.
I-A moving vehicle is detected up ahead.
The adaptive cruise control system regulates
the speed and distance to the moving vehicle
ahead and accelerates/brakes automatically.
I -When automatic braking is not able to
keep enough distance to a previously detected
moving vehicle up ahead, you must take con
trol and brake<=:>
page 112, Request for driver
intervention.
© Display
If adaptive cruise control is not shown in the
display, you can call it up with the
I RESET !
button ¢ page 20.
Based on the symbols in the display, you can
determine if the system is maintaining a dis
tance to the vehicle ahead and what that dis
tance is.
No vehicle -No vehicle ahead was detected.
White vehicle -A vehicle ahead was detected.
Red vehicle -Prompt for the driver to take ac
tion
<=:> page 112.
Both arrows on the scale © indicate the dis
tance to the vehicle ahead. No arrow appears
when the vehicle is on an open road and there
is no object ahead. If an object is detected
ahead, the arrow moves on the scale.
The green zone on the scale shows the stored
distance. For information on changing the
stored distance, refer to <=:>
page 111. If the
distance selected is too close or may soon be
come too close, the arrows move into the red
zone on the scale .
A WARNING
Improper use of the adaptive cruise con
trol can cause collisions, other accidents
and serious personal injuries.
- Pressing the
ISETI button when driving at
speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), will au- tomatically accelerate the vehicle to
20 mph (30 km/h), which is the mini
mum speed that can be set.
(D Tips
- If you switch the ignition or the adaptive
cruise control off, the set speed is erased
from the system memory.
- The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
is automatically turned on when the
adaptive cruise control is turned on. You
cannot switch the ESC into offroad mode
while the adaptive cruise control is
turned on

266 Tire s and wheels
When the malfunction indicator is illuminat
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low t ire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea
sons, including the installation of replace
ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi
cle that prevent the TPMS from funct ioning
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunct ion
tellta le after replacing one or more t ires or
wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the re
p lacement or a lternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
N
I
Fig. 210 Display: underinflation warning
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni
toring system compares the tire tread circum
ference and vibration characteristics of the in
dividual tires. If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires, th is is indicated in the instru
ment cluster w ith a
IE warning symbol and a
message
¢fig . 210. The dr iver message in the
display goes out after 5 seconds. The driver
message can be displayed again by pressing
the
! SET ! button. If on ly one tire is affected,
the display will indicate its position.
The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via radio or MMI * each time the pres
sures are adjusted (e. g . when switching be
tween partia l and full load pressure) or after
changing or replacing a tire on your vehicle
¢
page 267. The TPMS indicator only moni
tors the tire pressure that you have prev iously stored
. You can find the recommended tire
pressures for your vehicle on the label on driv
er's side B-pillar ¢
page 251.
Tire tread circumference and vibration charac
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure
warning if:
- the tir e pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tir e has structural damage,
- the tir e pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset
¢page 267.
Warning symbols
IE Loss of pressure in at least one tire¢ .&..
Check the tire or tires and replace or repa ir if
necessary. The

ment cluster als o illuminates

Check/correct the pressures of all four tires
and reset TPMS via radio or MMI*.

pressure: System malfunction!.
If@m appears after switching the ignition on
or while dr iving and the
IE indicator light in
the instrume nt cluster blink s for app rox i
mately one minute and then stays on, there is
a system malfunction.
Attempt to store the correct tire pressure
¢
page 267 . If the indicator light does not
tu rn
off or if it turns on shortly thereafter, im
mediately drive you r vehicle to an authorized
A udi dealer or authorized repair facility to
have the malfunction corrected.
A WARNING
=
- If the tire pressure indicator appears in
the instrument cluster display, one or
more of your tires is sign ificant ly under
inflated. Reduce your speed immediately
and avoid any hard steer ing or braking
maneuvers. Stop as soon as possible and
check the tires and their pressures. In
flate the tire pressure to the proper pres
sure as ind icated on the vehicle's tire
p ressu re lab el¢
page 251. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also is likely to
impair the vehicle's handling and stop
ping ability .
- The driver is responsible for maintaining
the correct tire pressures. You must
check the tire pressures regularly.
- Under certain conditions (such as a spor
ty driving style, winter conditions or un paved roads), the pressure monitor indi
cator may be delayed.
-Ask your authorized Audi dealer if run flat tires may be used on your vehicle .
Your vehicle registration becomes invalid if you use these tires when not permit
ted. Damage to your vehicle or accidents
could also result.
@ Tips
- The tire pressure monitoring system
stops working when there is an ESC/ABS
malfunction.
- Using snow chains may result in a system
malfunction.
- The tire pressure monitoring system on
your Audi was developed using tires with the "AO" or "RO" identification on the
tire sidewall¢
page 258. We recom
mend using these tires.
Reset tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
If the tire pressure is adjusted, wheels are ro
tated or changed, the TPMS must be reset via
radio or MMI* .
.,. Before resetting the TPMS, the current pres
sures of all four tires must correspond to
the specified values. Adjust the tire pressure and reset the pressure in the tire pressure
monitoring system according to the load
you are carrying
