-Air condit ioning and heating is powered
electrically if you select climate control us­
i ng the charging timer . This may also be
used in confined spaces such as garages .
-Using the auxiliary air conditioning wh ile
charging can also reduce the charge level of
the high-vo ltage battery.
-The high-voltage battery also charges in
power save mode .
-If the charging process is in progress, it will
not be interrupted when power save mode
switches on.
-The charging process can be interrupted at
any time . Press the active button on the ve­
hicle to do
this ~ page 111, fig. 122.

the charging power may be limited to 50%
when charging with a household socket in
order to relieve the load on the electrical in­
stallation.
-If an industrial socket is used for the charg­
ing process, the charging power level is au­
tomatically set to 50%. To rece ive the maxi­

Assistance systems Electronic speed limiter
Applies to: vehicles with electronic speed lim iter
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 lim iter . The electronic speed
limiter prevents your vehicle from going faster
than the tir e speed rating. For more information

contact the nearest authorized Audi dealer for
assistance .

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 max imum speed rat ing
of the tires installed.

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 128 Detect ion range
-0
> (0 (0
The adaptive cru ise control system is a comb ina­
tion of speed and dis tance regu lation.
It ass ists
the d river by both regulating the speed and
maintaining a distance to the vehicle driving
ahead, within the limits of the system. If the sys­
tem detects a vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate your vehi­
cle. Th is increases driving comfort during long
trips on highways and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses radar.
The radar is sub ject to designated system lim its
q poge 127.
On open roads with no traffic, it functions like a
cruise contro l system. The stored speed is main­
tained. When approaching a vehicle ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cru ise control
system automatically brakes to match that ob­
ject's speed and then maintains the stored dis­
tance. As soon as the system does not detect a
vehicle driving ahead, adaptive cruise contro l ac­
celerates up to the stored speed.
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise control can brake in stop-and-go traffic until the
vehicle is stat ionary and then begin driving agai n
under certain
conditions ~ page 130, Driving in
stop-and-go traffic.
