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.

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
¢page 80 .
- Stat iona ry obje cts¢ page 80.
_& 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 adaptive cruise control and braking guard
.... N
a:: CJ ' Audi 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

Audi acti ve la n e ass is t
Audi active lane assist
Lane assist
Description
A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith Audi active lane assist
Active lane ass ist detects lane marker lines with­
in the limits of the system us ing a camera in the
windshie ld. If you are approaching a detected
lane marker line and it appears likely that you
will leave the lane, the system will warn you with
corrective steering. You can override this steering
at any time. If you pass over a line, the steering
wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn­ ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Act ive lane assist
is operable when the lane marker line is detected
on at least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on freeways
and expanded highways and thus works only at
speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h) or more.
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist*: if you act i­
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classif ies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­ ing you, there w ill be not iceable correct ive steer­
i n g short ly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Appl ies to veh icles w ithout s ide ass ist* : the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the t urn signa l before crossing the lane marker
line. In this case, it ass umes that you a re chang ­
ing lanes intentionally.
Applies to vehicles w ith adapt ive cr uise control*
or pa rk ing aid*: the co rrective steering is ta rget­
ed based on the d riving situation. In addition to
the lane marker lines, the system can also take
into account other objects such as guard rails. If
they are detected in close proximity to the vehi­
cle, active lane assist helps prevent the vehicle
from dr iv ing too close to them. There is a lso
passing assistance . The system does not provide
any corrective steer ing if it detects that you are
passing anothe r vehicle.
88
A WARNING
-
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using correct ive steering.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive by itse lf. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Cor rective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as du ring heavy braking.
- There may be cases whe re the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive stee ring can only take place on the s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Othe r road stru ctures or objects could poss i­
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex ­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or lig ht shining into t he
camera. Th is can result in active lane ass ist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de­
tect ing them incorrectly.
- Under certain cond it ions such as r uts in the
road, a banked roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, act ive lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery
roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the po tential fo r hydrop laning. Using active lane
assist under these cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash .
