2016 AUDI A5 COUPE reset

Emergency braking
In the event that the conventional brake system
fails or locks.
11-In an emergency, pull the sw itch @c:> page 77,
fig. 80 and cont inue to pull it to slow your vehi­
cle down with the park ing brake .
11-As soon as you release the switch @ or acceler-
ate, the brak ing p rocess stops.
If you pull the sw itch @and hold it above a
speed of about
5 mph (8 km/h), the emergency
braking function is in itiated. The vehicle is braked
at all four wheels by activating the hydrau lic
b rake system. The brake performance is sim ila r
to making an eme rgency stop c:>
.&..
In order not to activate the emergency brak ing by
mistake, an audib le wa rning tone (buzze r)
sounds when the sw itch @ is pulled . As soon as
the switch @is re leased, or the acce lerator peda l
is depressed, emergency braking stops.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal foot brake has
failed or the brake pedal is obstructed. Using the parking brake to perform emergency
brak ing will slow your vehicle down as if you
had made a full bra ke appl ication . The laws of
physics cannot be suspended even with ESC
and its associated components (ABS, ASR, EDS). In corners and when road or weather
conditions a re bad, a f ull brake application
can ca use the vehicle to skid or the rear end to
break away- risking an accident.
Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning sys tem helps you to keep your
driving speed below a set speed limit .
The speed warning system warns if the driver ex ­
ceeds a prev iously stored maximum speed. A
;::; warning tone w ill sound as soon as the vehicle
0 ~ speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 mph
~ (3 km/h). At the same time , a warning symbol Lil ,...., v:, ,....,
D riv ing
appea rs in the display. The symbo l's appearance
might be diff erent in some models.
T he speed warn ing system has two warning
thresholds that function independently of each
othe r and that have somewhat different p urpos­
es:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the max imum
speed w hile you are dr iving . T his sett ing will re ­
main in effect until you tu rn off the ignit ion, as­
sum ing that you have not changed o r reset the
setting .
T he . (USA models) /. (Canada models)
speed wa rning symbo l in the warning 1 disp lay
appears when you exceed the maximum speed .
It
goes out when the speed falls below the stored
maximum speed.
T he speed warn ing symbol will also go out if the
speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed by
more than about 2S mph
(40 km/h) for at least
10 seconds. The stored maximum speed is delet­
ed.
Sp eed wa rning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you always
want to be reminded of a certain speed, for ex­
amp le wh en you are trav eling in a country that
has a genera l maximum speed limit, or if you do
not want to exceed a specified speed for winter
t ires .
T he . (USA models) /. (Canada mod els)
speed warning 2 symbol appears in the display
when you exceed the stored speed limi t. Unlike
warning 1 , it wilt not go out unt il the vehicle
speed drops below the stored speed limit .
Setting speed warning 2 c:>
page 80.
{D Tips
Even though your vehicle is eq uipped with a
speed warning system, you should still watch
the speedometer to make sure you are not
driving faster than the speed lim it.

-For reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
t ions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy ra in and hydroplan ing) -risk of acci­
dent .
- Turn
off the cruise control temporar ily when
enter ing turn lanes, h ighway exit lanes o r in
construction zones.
- Please note that inadvertently "rest ing"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes
the cruise control not to brake. This is be­
cause the cruise cont rol is overridden by the
dr iver's acceleration.
- If a brake system ma lf u nction such as over­
heating occu rs when the c ruise contro l sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched
off . The other
cruise contro l functions remain active as
long as the indicator light
[lj;(i )~i~ (US mod­
els)/ .. (Canadian models) is on .
(D Tips
-Vehicles with manual transmission: You can
attain the set speed only if the gear that is
currently engaged will allow it, or if it does
not tax the engine and allows it to run
smooth ly. Therefore sh ift into a higher or
lower gear in a timely ma nner.
- The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically .

Based on the symbo ls in the display, you can de­
termine if the system is maintaining a distance to
the vehicle ahead and what that distance is .
No vehicle -No vehicle ahead was detected .
White vehicle -A vehicle ahead was detected.

Red vehicle -Prompt for the driver to take action
c>page 94.
Both arrows on the scale© indicate the distance
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 dis­
tance . For information on changing the stored
distance, refer tor:!;>
page 93 . If the distance se­
lected is too close or may soon become too close,
the arrows move into the red zone on the scale.
A WARNING
Improper use of the adaptive cruise control
can cause collisions, other accidents and seri­
ous personal injuries.
- Press ing the
!SETI button when dr iving at
speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), will auto­
mat ica lly acce le rate the veh icle to 20 mph
(30 km/h), which is the minimum speed
that can be set.
(}) Tips
-If you switch the ign it ion or the adaptive
cruise control off, the set speed is erased
from the system memory.
- The electronic stabilization control (ESC)
and the anti-slip-regulation (ASR) are auto­
matically turned on when the adaptive
cruise control is turned on . Both systems
cannot be turned off if the adaptive cruise
control is turned on.
