Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
App lies to : vehicles wi th Audi adap tive c ru ise con trol
Fi g. 89 Detect io n range
The adaptive cru ise cont rol system is a comb ina
tion of speed and dis tance regu lation.
It ass ists
t h e d river by bo th regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d is ta nce to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, within the limits of the system. If the sys
tem detects a vehicle d riving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate yo ur vehi
cle. T his makes driving more comfo rtable both
o n long st retches of hig hway and in stop-and-go
traffic .
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cru ise control system uses video, ra
dar, ultrasound and navigat ion data . Vehicles
driv ing ahead can be recognized up to 650 feet
(200 m) away .
Pred ictive functions offer the drive r additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduct ion in fuel
consumption a nd CO2 em issions
r::::> page 102.
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise contro l system. The stored speed is main
ta ined . When approaching a vehicle d riving
ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system auto
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set dis tance. As soon as
the system do es not detect a vehicle dr iv ing
ahea d, adaptive cruise cont rol accelerates up to
t h e s to red spee d.
In stop-a nd-go traffic, adap tive cruise control can
brake until the veh icle is sta tionary a nd then can .,.

Predictive control

Description
App lies to: vehicles wit h Audi adap tive c ruise control and p re

Fig. 100 In stru men t cl uster: p redict ive contro l
General information
The predict ive control 1> uses the map informa
tion from the navigation system in order to react
proactively when driving. Information from the
camera -based traffic sign recognition* is also ap
plied to recognize traffic signs
c::> page 24. When
coming up to areas with speed limits or changes
in the course of the road (such as curves, inter
sections or traffic c ircles), the system brakes au
tomatically and then accelerates back up to the
set speed .
When adaptive cruise control is switched off, the
system only provides notifications without con
trolled interventions
c::> page 95.
The driver can override the predictive contro l at
any time by pressing the accelerator or brake
pedal. If the system changes the veh icle speed to
adapt to speed limits, you can change the speed
using the lever
c::>page 99 , fig . 95.
Always switch off the predictive control in
the following situations:
-When increased attention is needed from the
driver .
- In poor weather conditions such as snow or
heavy rain .
- When driving on roads in poor cond ition.

Indicator in the instrument cluster display
When the adaptive cruise control is switched on
for the first time, th e availability of predictive
control is displayed in the status line with the m essage
ACC: 1111 + B active.
The symbol appears when the system
is regulating the speed to match a speed limit. As
an example, the system is regulating a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) in this scenario. The speed is
then taken over by the adaptive cruise control.
The speed in the speedometer LED line also ad
justs to the speed to be maintained
c::> page 98,

A WARNING
- Read the warnings on c::> & in General infor
mation on page 97
and on c::> & in Descrip
tion on page 24 .
- Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when predictive control is switched on. The driver is always responsi
ble for correctly assessing the traffic situa
tion.
- There is an increase in the risk of an acci
dent, because the system does not consider
"right of way" rules and also does not re
spond to traffic lights .
- The system only considers traffic signs that
give a speed limit.
Assist
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The
driver is responsible for adhering to the per
mitted speed.
- The speed at which a curve is driven through
does not necessarily match your own driving
style . Brake the vehicle yourself when need
ed to reduce the risk of an accident.
(D Tips
-If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
LED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not active.
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switching off predictive control, for exam
ple when driving in low traffic zones, does
not cause the adaptive cruise control to
switch off .
-After switching on the ignition, the system
initially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driving onto highways
without a speed limit. Then the system ad
justs to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driving through highway interchanges and
when driving on or off the expressway.
- There is no predictive control at speed limits
under 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam
era and the actual speed is significantly
higher, then the speed limit will blink in the
display until you have reached the required
speed
c::> page 25.
- Incorrect values from the camera-based traffic sign recognition* or outdated naviga
tion system map data can lead to incorrect
or implausible control.
- When route guidance is switched on, the
system adapts to the route provided by the
navigation system. Driving without route
guidance or leaving a route can result in im
plausible control.
- The system switches
off when outside of a
road system that is recorded in the naviga
tion system map data.
