• Tap the swit ch to display the current set dis­
t ance
¢f ig. 92.
• To increase or reduce the distance in incre­
ments, tap the switch again to the right or
left . The distance between the two vehicles
will change in the instrument cluster dis­
play.
When approaching an object detected ahead,
the adaptive cruise con trol system brakes to
match that object's speed and then reg ulates
to the stored distance . If the object detected
ahead acce lerates, adapt ive cruise control will
a lso acce lerate up to the stored speed .
The highe r the speed, the greater the distance
in meters
c::;, & . The Distance 3 setting is rec­
ommended. That is equal to the general rec- ommendation of "hal
f the speed shown on
the speedometer".
T he distances provided are example values.
Depending on the driv ing s ituation, the cur­
rent speed and the way the object detected
ahead is driving, the actual distance may be
more or less than these target distances.

A WARNING
--
- Driving too close to other vehicles in­
creases the risk of collisions and ser ious
in jur ies.
- Sett ing short distances to vehicles ahead
reduces the distance and time that you
have to stop your vehicle safe ly . This in ­
creases the need for you to pay attention
to traffic.
- Always follow applicable traff ic laws , use
common sense and select a distance to
veh icles ahead that takes the current
traffic , road and weather conditions into
account.
{i) Tips
Distance 3
is set automatically each time
you switch the ignition on.
It you would
lik e to have this distance as a basic setting,
you can have the
adaptive cruise control
menu extended/ enabled from an author ­

Warnings
App lies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense front or Audi
adaptive cruise control
Fig. 94 Instrument cluster: approac h warning
The system recognizes various dangerous sit­
uations:
- Vehicles with adaptive cruise control : The
distance warning occurs if you drive too
closely to the object ahead for a long period
of t ime. If the object ahead brakes strongly,
you would not be able to avoid a coll ision.
The indicator light . indicates this.
- The
approach warning occurs when an ob­
ject ahead is traveling mo re slowly or brakes
strongly. When this warning occurs, it may only be possible to avoid a collision by
swerving or braking strongly. The message
Audi pre sense. Distance ¢ fig . 94 and a
warning tone will warn you about the dan­ ger. For vehicles with adaptive cruise con­
trol, the. indicator light also turns on.
If you do not react enough or not at all to a
dangerous situation that was detected by the
system, pre sense front provides ass istance by
applying the brakes.
- If a collision is imminent, the system will
first provide an
acute warning by braking
sharply. You will also be made aware of the
danger by the instrument cluster display
¢
fig. 94. F or vehicles with adaptive cruise
control, the. indicator light also turns on.
- If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense front can brake with increasing force
within the limits of the system

duc es the vehicle speed in the event of a col-

lision. The message Audi pre sense -Input
also appears.
- At low driving speeds , pre sense front can
begin complete deceleration shortly before
a collision
ll .
- If pre sense front determines that you are
not braking strongly enough when a colli ­
sion is immin ent, it can increas e the braking
force.
A WARNING
- Pre sense front cannot overcome natural
physical laws. It is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision .
The driver must always intervene. The
driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the in­
creased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk
of a collision.
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits .
- Please note that the sensor does not al­
ways detect all objects . This increases
the risk of a collision.
- Pre sense front does not react to people
or animals or objects that are crossing
the vehicle's path or are difficult to de­
tect ¢
page 87, General Information.
-Reflective objects such as guard rails or
the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and
ice can affect the function of the radar
sensor and the system 's ability to detect
a collision risk .
- Lack of attention can lead to collisions,
other accidents and serious injuries. pre
sense front is an assistance system and
cannot prevent a collision by itself . The
driver must always intervene. The driver
is always responsible for braking at the
right time.
- Always pay attention to traffic, even
when pre sense front is switched on. Al-
ways be ready to intervene and take over
complete control of the vehicle whenever

F ig . 102 Rea r of th e ve hicle: pos it io n of t he se nso rs
(exa mple)
Side assist functions at speeds above approx i­
mately 19 mph (30 km/h).
@ Vehicle s that are approaching
In certain cases, a vehicle will be classifie d as
cr itica l for a lane change even if it is still
somewhat far away . The faster a vehicle ap­
proaches, the sooner the display in the e xteri ­
or mirror will tur n on .
@ Vehicle s traveling with you
Vehicles traveling w ith you a re indicated in the
exterior m irror if they are classified as cr itical
for a lane change. All vehicles detected by
side assist are indicated by the time they en­
ter your "blind spot", at the latest .
© Vehicles left behind
If you s low ly pass a ve hicl e th at sid e ass ist has
de te ct ed (t he difference in s peed be tween the
vehicle and you r vehi cle is less than 9 mph or
15 km/ h), the display i n the exterio r mirro r
turns on as soon as the ve hicle enters your
blind spot.
The disp lay wi ll not t urn on if you quickly pass
a ve hicle that s ide assist has detected (t he d if ­
f erence in speed between the ve hicle and your
vehicle is greater than 9 mph or 15 km/h).
Functional limitations
T he ra dar senso rs are designed to detect the
left and right adjacent lanes whe n the road
l anes a re the normal width. I n some sit ua ­
t ions, the d isp lay in the exterior mirror may
tu rn on even thoug h there is no ve hicle locat­
ed in the area that is cr itical fo r a la ne cha nge.
Fo r exampl e:
- If the lanes are nar row or if your a re dr iving
o n t he e dge of your lane. If this is the case ,
the system may have detected the vehicle in
another la ne that is
not adjacent to you r
cur rent lane .
- If you are dr iving th ro u gh a curve . S ide as­
sist may react to a vehicle that is one lane
over from the adj ace nt lane.
- If si de assist reacts to o ther objects (such as
h igh or d is pl ace d gua rd rails) .
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
fu nctions are limited .
Do not cover the rada r senso rs
