Kick-down
Applies to vehicles: with S tronic/tiptronic
Kick-down enables maximum acceleration.
When you depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the resistance point, the automatic transm ission
downshifts into a lower gea r, depend ing on veh i­
cle speed and engine speed. The upshift in to the
nex t higher gear ta kes place once the maximum
specified engine speed is reached.

Please note that the drive whee ls can spin if
kick-down is used on a smooth s lippery road -
there is a risk of skidding.

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 shifting normally or when press ing 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
control accelerates automatically if necessary .
If you press down on the clutch for too long or
shift/couple improperly, the adaptive cruise con­
trol may t urn
off automatically .
@ Tips
You cannot turn on the adaptive cruise con­
trol during a shifting operat ion.
Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 95 Detection range
What can Audi adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control works in conjunction
with a radar sensor installed in the front of the
veh icle ¢
page 89, fig. 92, which is subject to
des ignated system limits¢
page 91. Stationa ry
objects are disregarded.
On open roads with no traffic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regular cruise control sys­
tem. The stored speed is maintained . When ap­
proaching 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 adaptive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "contro l speed "
¢ page 91, Switching on and off.
When driving, you can stop cru ise control
¢ 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 driving pro­
gram
¢ page 93.

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.
