Audi adaptive cruise
control and braking
guard
Introduction
A ppl ies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise co ntro l
The adaptive cruise contro l system assists the
driver by regulat ing vehicle speed and helping to
maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead,
within the limits of the system.
If the system de­
tects a moving vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise
control can brake and then accelerate your veh i­
cle. This helps to make driving more comfortable
both on long highway stretches and in stop-and­
go traffic.
The braking guard system can warn you about an impending collision and initiate braking maneu­
vers¢
page 85.
Adaptive cruise control and braking guard have
technical limitations that you m ust know, so
please read this section carefully, understand
how the system works and use them properly at
all times.
General information

Fig. 86 Front of th e veh icle: sensors and vi deo camera
The areas that contain the radar and u ltrason ic
sensors and the video camera¢
fig. 86 must nev­
er be covered by stickers o r other objects or ob­
structed with dirt, insects, snow or ice that wi ll
interfere with the adaptive cruise control system
and braking guard. For information on cleaning, refer to
¢
page 193. The same applies for any
modifications made in the front area.
The function of the adaptive cru ise control sys­
tem and braking g uard is limited under some
conditions:
- Objects can on ly be de tected when they are
w ith in sensor range¢
page 81, fig. 89.
- The system has a limited ability to detect ob­
jects that are a short d istance ahead, off to the
side of your vehicle or mov ing into your lane .
- Some kinds of veh icles are hard to detect; for
examp le motorcycles, veh icles w ith high
gro und clea rance or overhanging loads may be
detected when it is too late o r they may not be
detected at all.
-When driving through curves

_& WARNING
A lways pay attention to traff ic when adaptive
cruise control is sw itched on and brak ing
guard is active . As the driver, you are still re­
sponsible for starting and for maintaining
speed and distance to other objects. Braking
guard is used to assist you. The driver must
always take act ion to avoid a collision . The
driver is always respons ible for braking at the
cor rect time.
- Improper use of adaptive cruise control can cause collisions, other accidents and ser ious
pe rsonal injury.
- Never let the comfort and conven ience that
adapt ive cr uise control and braking g ua rd
offe r dist ract you from the need to be a lert
to traffic conditions and the need to remain
in full control of your vehicle at all times,
- Always remember that the adaptive c ruise
control and braking gua rd have limits -they
will not slow the vehicle down or maintain the set distance when you drive towards an
obstacle or something on or near the road
that is not moving, such as vehicles stopped
in a traffic jam, a stalled or disabled vehicle.
If reg istered by the radar sensors, vehicles
or obstacles that are not moving can trigger
a collision wa rning and if confirmed by the
video came ra, an acute co llision wa rning.

Audi adapt ive crui se con trol a nd b rakin g guar d
-For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather (such
as ice, fog, gravel, heavy ra in and hydroplan­
ing). Using the system under these condi·
tions co uld result in a collision.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora­
rily when driving in turn ing lanes, on ex­
pressway exits or in construction zones. Th is
prevents the vehicle from accelerating to
the set speed when in these situat ions .
- The adapt ive cr uise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac­
celerator peda l. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regu lation.
- When approaching stat ionary objects such
as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise control
will not respond and braking guard will have limited function.
- The adaptive cruise control system and
braking guard do not react to people, ani­
mals, objects crossing the road or oncom ing
objects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af­
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
- Never follow a vehicle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely. The adap·
t ive cruise control cannot slow or brake the
vehicle safely when you fo llow another veh i­
cle too close ly. Always remember that the
automatic braking function ca nnot br ing the
vehicle to a sudden o r emergency stop un­
der these conditions .
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not be ing used .
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumpe r, whee l housing and
unde rbody. That co uld affect the adaptive
cruise control system and braking guard .
Have your authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility check their function.

In curves
Applies to: vehicles with A udi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 87 Example : dr iving into a curve
When driving into a curve c:::> fig. 87 and out of a
curve, the adapt ive cruise control may react to an
object in the neighboring lane and apply the
brakes . You can prevent that by pressing the ac­
ce lerator pedal br iefly.
Stationary objects
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 88 Example: object chang ing lanes and stat ionary ob ·
jec t
The adaptive cruise control system only reacts to
objects that are moving or that the system has
already detected as moving . For example, it can
react when a vehicle that has already been de·
tected @ turns or changes lanes, but adaptive
cruise control does not react to a stationary vehi­
cle @.

Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard

Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise contro l
Fig. 96 Instrument cluster: approach warning
Braking guard uses radar sensors and a video
camera. It also functions within the limits of the
system when adaptive cruise control is switched
off.
What can braking guard do?
When detected in time, the system can assess
situations when a vehicle ahead brakes suddenly
or if your own veh icle is traveling at a high speed
and approaching a vehicle up ahead that is mov­
ing more slowly. Braking guard does not react if
it cannot detect the si tuat ion.
The system advises you of various situations:
- The
distance warning is given if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead for a long time. If the
vehicle ahead brakes sharply, you will not be
able to avoid a collision . T he indicator light .
in the d isplay comes on .
- The
approach warning is given when a detected
vehicle up ahead in your lane is moving much
more slowly than you are or if it brakes sharply.
When this warning is g iven, it may only be pos­
s ib le to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
sharp ly. The indicator light. and indicator in
the display will warn yo u about the danger
¢
fig. 96. You will also hear an acoustic signa l.
If you do not react fast enough or do not react at
all to the situation, braking guard will intervene
by braking.
N "' ll This is not available in some countries . ......
-If a collision is imminent, the system wi ll first
provide an
acute warning by briefly and sharply
apply ing the brakes .
- If you do not react to the acute warning, brak­
ing guard can brake with increas ing force with­
in the limits of the system. This reduces the ve­
hicle speed in the event of a collision.
- The system can initiate maximum braking
shortly before a collision
1 ). Full dece leration at
high speeds occurs only in vehicles with adap­
tive cruise control and side assist (pre sense plus).
- If the braking guard senses that you are not
braking hard enough when a collision is immi­
nent, it can increase the braking force.
- The pre sense functions also engage when a
collision is imm inent ¢
page 177.
Which functions can be controlled?
You can switch braking guard and the distance/
approach warning on or off in the MMI
¢ page 86, Settings in the Infotainment sys­
tem .
A WARNING
--
Lack of attention can cause collisions, other
accidents and serious personal injuries. The
braking guard is an assist system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself . Th e driver must
always intervene. The driver is always respon­
sib le for b raking at the co rrect time.
- Always pay close attention to traffic, even
when the braking guard is switched on. Be
ready to intervene and be ready to take
complete control whenever necessary. Al­
ways keep the safe and legal distance be­
tween your vehicle and vehicles up ahead.
- Brak ing guard works with in limits and will
not respond outside the system limits, for
example when approach ing a stopped vehi­
cle or stationary obstacle (end of a traffic
jam or vehicle that has broken down in traf­
f ic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor for
the braking guard works only within defined
~

detection and range limits that may prevent
the proper detection of other vehicles .
- The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
promptly detected or may not be detected
at all.
- Reflective surfaces including crash barriers
or tunnel entrances may impair the function
of the radar sensor.
@ Tips
- You can cancel the braking with increasing
force that is initiated by the system by brak­
ing yourself, by accelerating noticeably or
by swerving .
- Braking guard error messages¢
page 86.
- Keep in mind that braking guard can brake
unexpectedly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transporting to reduce
the risk of damage or injury.
