on the locking mechanism .
A WARNING ,-
-The vehicle can also roll when the engine is
stopped.
- Unintended vehicle movement can cause se­
rio us injury.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear . If you must leave your
veh icle when the engine is running, activate
the park ing brake and move the selector lev­
er to P .
- Power is still transmitted to the wheels
when the engine is runn ing at idle . To pre­
vent the vehicle from "creep ing", you must
keep your foot on the brake when the eng ine
is running and the se lector lever is in D/S or
R or "tiptronic" mode is selected.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when
changing the se lector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the eng ine is
r u nning .
- Never sh ift into R or P while driving ,
- Before driving down a steep s lope, reduce
your speed and sh ift into a lower gear with
" t ipt ronic ".
- Do not ride the brakes or press the brake pedal too ofte n or too long whe n driving
down a hi ll. Constant brak ing causes the
b rakes to overhea t and substantially re­
duces braking performance, increases brak­ ing distance or causes comp lete fai lure of
the brake system.
- To prevent the vehicle from ro lling back
when stopping on inclines, always ho ld it in
p lace with the brake pedal or parking brake.
- Never hold the vehicle on an incline with a
slipping clutch. The clutch opens automati­
cally when it becomes too hot from the
overload. An ind icator lamp@] illuminates
and a driver message appears¢
page 87
when the clutch is overloaded .
-If the engine must remain running, never
have any dr iving posit ion engaged when
checking under the hood . Make sure these­
lecto r lever has secu rely engaged and is
locked in P with the parking brake set

Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard
When the adaptive cruise control is turned on,
you must press the clutch to shift gears (as usu­
al). When sh ifting normally or when pressing the
clutch, the adaptive cruise control remains
turned on.
After you have engaged the gear, you do
not need
to press the gas pedal. The adaptive cruise con­
trol accelerates automatically if necessary .
If you press down on the clutch for too long or
shift/coup le im properly, the adaptive cruise con­
trol may turn off automat ica lly.
@ Tips
You cannot turn on the adaptive cruise control
during a shifting operation.
Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 96 Detection range
What can Audi adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control works in conjunction
with a rada r sensor installed in the front of the
veh icle¢
page 89, fig. 93, which is subject to
des ignat ed system limits¢
page 91. Stationa ry
objects are disregarded.
On open roads w ith no traff ic, adaptive cruise
control wo rks like a regu lar cruise control system.
The stored speed is mainta ined. When approach­
ing a moving vehicle detected up ahead, the
adaptive cruise control system automatically
slows down to match that vehicle's speed and
then maintains the distance that the driver previ­
ously stored. As soon as the system does not de- tect a vehicle up
ahead, adaptive cruise control
acce lerates back up to the stored speed.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switch adapt ive cr uise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "control speed"
¢ page 91, Switching on and off.
When driving, yo u can stop cru ise contro l
¢page 93 or change the speed ¢page 92 at
any time.
You can also set the distance to the object ahead
and set the adaptive cruise control dr iv ing pro­
gram ¢
page 93.
