Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with tires
that are rated for a maximum speed of 130 mph
(210 km/h). This is less than the maximum speed
of your vehicle. To reduce the risk of sudden tire
failure and loss of control if the vehicle is operat
ed at excessive speeds, your vehicle also has an
electronic speed limiter. The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tire speed rating. For more information
9page257.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road
speed s ignals, the Malfunction In d icator
Lamp (MIL) m will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for
assistance.
. _&WARNING
Always observe the posted speed limits and
adjust your speed to suit prevailing road, traf
fic and weather conditions. Never drive your
vehicle faster than the maximum speed rating
of the tires installed.
Speed warning system
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
The speed warning system helps you to stay un
der a specified maximum speed.
The speed warning system warns you if yo u are
exceeding
the max imum speed that you have set.
You will hear a warning tone when your speed ex
ceeds the stored value by approximately 3 mph
(3 km/h). The (e] indicator light turns on at the
same time in the Infotainment display. The[•)
indicator light turns off when the speed decreas
es below the stored maximum speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed for winter tires.
72
('D Tips
Regard less of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.
Setting the threshold
Applies to: vehicles with speed warning system
You can set, change and delete the warning
threshold
in the Infotainment system.
... Select in the Infotainment system: I MENU! but
ton> Vehicl e> left control button >Dr ive r as
sistance > Speed warnin g .
You can set any threshold between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and lSO mph (240 km/h). Settings
can each be adjusted in increments of 5 mph
(10 km/h) .
Cruise control system
Switching on
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system makes it possible to
drive
at a constant speed starting ot 15 mph
(20 km/h).
Fig . 70 Operating lever: cruise control system
... To switch on the system, pull the lever into po-
sition CD 9 fig. 70.
... Drive at the speed to be controlled.
• To store the speed, press the button@.
The
stored speed and the (lj;llJ~1# (USA models) I
Iii (Canada models) indicator light are displayed
in the instrument cluster. !)I>
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The speed is kept constant by modifying engine
power or through an active brake intervention.
A WARNING
-Always pay attention to the traffic around
you when the cruise control is in operation.
You are always responsible for your speed
and the distance between your vehicle and
other vehicles.
- For
reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf
fic, on winding roads and when road condi
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy rain
and hydroplaning) -you could
have
an accident.
- Switch
the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones.
-Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal prevents
the cruise control from braking. This is due
to the control system being overridden by
the driver's acceleration.
-If a brake system malfunction such as over
heating occurs when the cruise control sys
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The rest of
the cruise control system functions remain
active as long as the (1!;(1)~14 (USA models) I
B (Canada models) indicator light is on.
@ Tips
The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically.
Changing speed
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
.. To increase/decrease the speed in xx mph (1
km/h) increments, briefly tap the lever up/
down in the 0 10 ¢ page 72, fig. 70 direction
to the first level.
.. To increase/decrease the speed in xx mph (10
km/h) increments, briefly tap the lever up/
down in the 010 ¢page 72, fig. 70 direction
to the second level.
Assist
.. To increase or decrease the speed quickly, hold
the lever in the 0 I 0 direction until the de
sired speed is reached.
Overriding the speed
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
You can press the accelerator pedal down to in
crease your speed, for example if you want to
pass someone. The speed you saved earlier will
resume as soon as you let off of the accelerator
pedal.
However, if you are exceeding the stored speed
by a considerable amount for a long time, the
cruise control system will temporarily switch off.
The
lij;lil~14 (USA model s) !Iii (Canada models) in
dicator light in the instrument cluster turns off
and the stored speed is maintained.
Preselecting the speed
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
You can pre-select your desired speed while the
vehicle is not moving.
.. Switch on the ignition .
.. Pull the lever into position@¢ page 72,
fig. 70.
.. To increase or decrease the speed, tap the lever
in the 010 direction.
This
function makes i t possible, for example, to
save the speed you want before driving on the
highway. Once on the exp ressway, activate the
cruise control by pulling the lever into position
@.
Switching off
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
Temporary deactivation
.. Step on the brake pedal, or

Audi active lane assist
Description
App lies to: ve h icles with Audi active lane assis t
Active lane assist detects lane marker lines with
in the limits of the system using a camera in the
windshield. 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. Active 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 express
ways and highways and
therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h) (depending on the market).
Appl i
es to vehicles with side assist*: if you acti
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach
ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer
ing
shortly before you leave the lane. This will at
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies
to vehicles without side assist*: the sys
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker
ll The co rrective steering function is not a va ilable in all mar
kets.

line. In this case, it assumes that you are chang
ing lanes intentionally.
A WARNING
!-="' -
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective 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 itself. Al
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective
steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There
may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
-Other road structures or objects could possi
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be
unexpected or may not occur.
- The
camera view can be restricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor
rectly.
- In
certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear
ly" to "late" steering correction ll.
-Under certain cond itions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For
safety reasons, active 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
potential for hydroplaning . Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

the normal width. In some situations, the display
in the exter ior mirr or may turn on even though
there
is no vehicle located in the area that is criti
cal
for a lane change. For example:
-
If the lanes are narrow or if your are driving on
the edge of your lane. If this is the case, the
system may have detected the vehicle in anoth
er lane
that is not adjacent to your current lane.
-
If you are driving through a curve. Side assist
may react
to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane.
-
If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails).
-
In poor weather conditions . The side assist
functions are limited.
Do not cover the radar senso rs c::> fig. 77 w it h
stic kers, deposits, bicycle wheels or
other ob

because this will affect the function. For in
formation on cleaning, see c::>poge 270.
.&. WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. Side assist cannot
replace a
driver's attention. The driver alone
is always responsible for lane changes and
similar driving maneuvers.
-
In some situati ons, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:

-
On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a r ise in the road surface. Vehicles
i n
the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside
of the sensor
range.
-
Audi side assist cannot detect all vehicles
under
all conditions, which can increase the
risk of acciden ts.
-Please note that side assist only disp lays ap
proach ing vehicles
