Travel mod e (Canada models)*
The headlight beam is asymmetrical. This pro­
vides stronge r illum ination on the s ide of the
road on which you are driving . If you are driv ­
ing in a co untry that drives on the opposite
side of the road from your own country, this
will cause glare for oncoming drivers. To pre­
vent glare:
- Trave l mode must be selected in vehicles
with Xenon headlights*.
- In vehicles with halogen headlights, certain
areas of the head light lenses must be cov­
ered with waterproof adhesive covers that
prevent light from passing through. For
more information, please see your author­
ized Audi dealer or author ized repair facility .

The adaptive lig ht system is a combin ation o f
the dynam ic and the static corneri ng lights.
Wi th the lights switched on, the dynamic cor ­
ner ing light adapts to driving on curves. This
is dependent upon t he vehicle speed and
steering ang le. This provides better lighting
through the curve. The system operates in a
speed range from approximate ly 6 mph
(10 km/h) to 68 mph (110 km/h) .
The static cornering light switches on at
speeds of up to approximately 25 mph

A WARNING
Check all the roof rack connect ions each
time before eac h tr ip and re -tighten or re ­
adjust if necessary. If you are going to be
driving or rough terra in, you will have to
check the at tachments more often.
If you
do not do th is, the risk of yo ur luggage
coming loose and fa lling off is greater.
The p ins and the roof rack claws must en­
gage secure ly into the holes and in to the
edge of the roof ra iling when you tighten
the screws!
(j) Tips
You can adjust the width of the roof rac k
by using a hexagon wrench and turning the
screws on t he top . Let your author ized

Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely at ­
tached. Handling charac teristics change
when cargo is transpor ted.
The permissib le roof load for your veh icle is
165 lbs (75 kg ). The roof lo ad is the total of
the weight o f the roof rack, the attachment s
and the cargo you are carrying .
A WARNING
-The cargo m ust be sec urely attached on
the roof rack, otherwise you ris k an acci­
dent.
- Distrib ute the load as evenly as possib le
and do not make the roof rack wider than
the maximum permitted.
- You must under no circ umstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permiss i­
b le ax le loads a nd the pe rm issib le over all
weight of your veh icle -risk of an acc i­
dent .
- Mou nt t he attachments to the roo f ra ck
only after you have placed the roof rack
on the vehicle .
- Consider that when tra nspo rting heavy
objects or one w ith a large s urface, the
handling characteristics change due to
shift in the center of gravity or the great­
er surface exposed to the w ind . So adapt
your driving and your speed to prevailing
conditions . We recommend that you do
not drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/
h) .
- Mounti ng a roof rack changes the heig ht
of your vehicle . Keep this in mind when
parking your vehicle in your ga rage, o r
when dr iv ing t hrough a tunne l o r u nder

Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard 109
Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
A pp lies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 116 Detect ion range
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control works in conjunc­
tion with a radar sensor installed in the front
of the vehicle
¢page 107, fig. 113, which is
subject to designated system limits
¢page 109. Stationary objects are disregard­
ed .
On open roads w ith no traffic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regular cruise control sys­
tem. The stored speed is maintained. When
approaching a moving vehicle detected up
ahead, the adaptive cruise control system au ­
tomatically slows down to match that vehi­
cle's speed and then maintains the distance
that the driver previously stored. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise control accelerates back up to the stored speed.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adaptive cruise control on,
you can set the current speed as the "control speed" ¢
page 109, Switching on and off.
When driving, you can stop cruise control
¢
page 111 or change the speed ¢ page 11 0
at any time.
You can also set the distance to the object
ahead and set the adaptive cruise control driv­ ing program
¢ page 111.
Switching on and off
Applies to vehicles: wi th Aud i adap tive crui se contro l

Overriding cruise control
• To accelerate manually, press the accelera­
tor pedal. The message

• To resume adaptive cruise control, remove
your foot from the gas pedal. The system re­
turns again to the speed that was saved be­
fore.
• You can save a new speed at any time by
pressing thelSETI button ¢fig. 120.
Canceling cruise control while driving
• Move the lever into position @. The mes­
sage
ACC: Standby appears. Or
• press the brake pedal.
• To resume the stored speed, move the lever
into position @.
_& WARNING
Never resume the stored speed if the
speed is too high for prevailing road, traf­
fic or weather conditions.

• To increase or reduce the distance by incre­
ments, tap the switch again to the left or

When approach ing a moving vehicle up ahead,
the adapt ive cruise control system brakes to
match that object's speed and then mainta ins
the stored distance. If the vehicle ahead ac­
ce lerates, adaptive cruise control will also ac­
celerate up to the stored speed.
T he higher the speed, the greater the distance
in yards (meters) ¢& .The
Distance 3 setting
is recommended.
