Hybrid
Start-Stop function
The combustion engine is operated on ly as need­
ed . Generally, the combustion engine turns off
when the vehicle is stationary and the high volt­
age battery powers the electrical vehicle sys ­
tems.
The purpose o f automatica lly shutting the com­
bustion engine off in hybrid drive mode is to save
fuel. All of the important vehicle systems, such
as steering, brakes and the A/C system, continue
to remain active. In some cases , systems may re­
qu ire the combustion eng ine to continue running
when the vehicle is stationary . When dr iv ing in
congested traff ic for long per iods of t ime, the
combustion eng ine will cycle on when the veh icle
is stationary to keep the high voltage battery
charged.
Gliding
If the gas pedal is not pressed and the D posit ion
is selected, the combustion engine remains
turned off up to speeds of approximately 99 mph
(160 km/h) . Driving conservative ly like th is can
reduce fuel con5umption .
Energy recovery (recuperation)
When braking, the electric motor will act as a
generator creating e lectr ic energy that is then
sto red in the high voltage battery. This also oc­
curs when the vehicle is coasting or driving down­
hi ll. The combustion engine is automat ica lly
turned off in this case .
Tips for Driving Efficiently with your Hybrid
Appl ies to: ve hicles w ith hyb rid drive
Driving situa- Conditions
tions
- Shift into the D position .
Starting from a -
Release the brake pedal. The vehicle is braked with
the electric motor by
applying early and even pressure to the brakes
and using short pedal movements
¢ page 101,
fig. 116 @. By doing this, a large amount of the
kinet ic energy is recovered and may be stored as
electric energy in the high voltage battery. Dur ­
i ng heavy brak ing , the conventional brakes are al­
so act ivated
¢ page 101, fig . 116 @.
The energy recovery is shown in the MMI display
¢page 107 .
Automatic start of the combustion engine
Various operating conditions cause the combus ­
tion eng ine to start automatically:
- Th e high voltage battery charge level is low.
- Th e temperature of the combustion engine is
low .
- Th e temperature of the catalytic converter is
low .
- T he power output needed for the A/C system is
high.
- The vehicle speed is high .
- The vehicle acceleration is high .
- The incline is steep .
- High charge level for the high voltage battery
when coasting. In this case, the high voltage battery cannot absorb any more energy and so
the electric motor cannot slow down the veh i­
cle. The combust ion engine turns o n (engine
brake) . In this situation the high voltage bat­
t ery w ill show a Max charge.
Vehicle behavior

What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive c ruise co ntro l works in conjunct io n
wi th a radar sensor installed in th e front of th e
ve hicl e
¢page 109, fig. 122, which is sub je ct to
d es ign ated system lim it s ¢

objects are disregar ded.
On ope n ro ads wi th no traffic, adapt ive cr uise
con trol wo rks like a reg ular cruise contro l sys­
tem. The store d speed is m aintai ned. Whe n ap ­
p roaching a moving vehicle de tected u p ahead,
the adaptive cruise cont rol system automatically
slows down to match that vehicle's speed and then maintains the distance that the driver previ­
ously store d. As soon as the system does not de­
tect a vehicle up ahead, adaptive cru ise control
accelerates back up to the sto red speed .
Which functions can be controlled?
When you sw itch adaptive cruise cont rol on, yo u
can set the current speed as the "control speed"

Audi adaptive cruise control and braking guard
Audi braking guard
Description
Applies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise co ntro l
Fig. 132 Instrument cluste r: approach warning
Braking guard uses a radar sensor. It also func­
tions within the limits of the system when adap­
tive 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 vehicle 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 situat ion.
The system advises you of various situations:
- The
distance warning is g iven 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. The indicator light .
in the display 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 ible to avo id a col lision by swerving or brak ing
sharp ly. Th e indicator light . will warn you
about the danger
¢fig. 132. You will also hear
an acoustic signal.
If you do not react fast enough or do not react at
all to the situation, braking guard will intervene
by braking and the message
Braking guard: Acti­
vated
will appear.
1> Th is is not ava ilab le in some coun tries.
-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 within the limits of the sys­
tem. This reduces the vehicle speed in the event
of a collision.
- At speeds under 20 mph (30 km/h), the system
can initiate a comp lete decelerat ion shortly be­
fore a collision
ll.
- If the braking guard senses that you are not
braking hard enough when a collision is immi­
nent, it can increase the braking force .
Which functions can be controlled?
You can switch braking guard and the distance/
approach warn ing on or
off in the radio/MM!*
¢ page 116, Settings in the radio/MM!*.
A WARNING
-
Lack of attention can cause collisions, other
accidents and ser ious personal in juries. The
braking guard is an assist system and cannot
prevent a collision by itself. The driver must
always intervene. The driver is always respon­
sible for braking at the correct tim e.
- Always pay close attention to traffic, even
when the braking guard is switched on. Be
ready to intervene and be ready to take
comp lete control whenever necessary. Al­
ways keep the safe and legal distance be­
tween your vehicle and vehicles up ahead .
- Braking guard works wit hin limits and will
not respond outside the system limits, for
examp le when approaching a stopped veh i­
cle or stationary obstacle (end of a traffic
jam or vehicle that has broken down in traf­
fic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor for
the braking guard works only within defined
detection and range limits that may prevent
the proper detect ion 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
