- For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning), because this increases the
risk of a n 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 be
cause pressing the accelerator pedal over
rides the cruise control system.
- 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)~14 (USA models) I
ill (Canada models) indicator light is on.
@ Tips
The brake lights turn on when the brakes are
app lied automatica lly.
Changing speed
Applies to: veh icles with c ruise control system
.. To increase/decrease the speed in increments,
briefly
tap the lever toward 010 Q page 72,
fig. 77 up/down to the first level.
.. To increase or decrease the speed in incre
ments,
tap the lever toward 010 Q page 72,
fig. 77 up/down to the second level.
.. To increase or decrease the speed quickly ,
hold
the leve r in the 0 / 0 direction until the de
sired speed is reached .
Overriding the speed
Applies to: veh icles with c ruise 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 set earlier wi ll re-
Assist
sume as soon as you release the acce lerator ped
al.
However, if you are exceeding the stored speed
by a considerable amount for a long time, the
cruise contro l system will temporarily switch off.
The

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 when the
vehicle is stationary.
.. Switch on the ignition.
.. Pull the lever into position (!)
Q page 72,
fig. 77.
.. To increase or decrease the speed, tap the lever
toward

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Appl ie s to: ve hicles w ith Audi ac tive 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
correct ive steering. You can override th is steer ing
at any time . If you pass over a line, the steer ing
wheel will v ibrate l ightly. In order for this warn
ing vibration to occur, it must first be sw itched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation 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 so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles w ith side assist* : if you act i
vate a turn signal 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 w ill 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 line . In this case, it assumes that you are chang
ing lanes intentionally .
& WARNING
-The system wa rns the driver that the veh icle
is leav ing the lane using co rrective s teer ing.
1 ) The co rrect ive stee ring fun ctio n is not ava ilabl e in all mar
ket s.
74
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. A lways keep your hands on the
steer ing 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 s ide
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
- Other road structures or objects could poss i
bly be identified un intent ionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected o r may not occ ur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by ra in,
snow, heavy spray light shin ing into the
camera or by dirt o n the window. This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor
rectly.
- In certain s ituations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear
ly" to "late" steering cor rection
ll.
- Unde r certain cond itions such as r uts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the m iddle 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 cond it ions may increase
the risk of a crash.
Care and cleaning
- Never use gasoline, spot remover, ben
zene, paint thinner or other solvents to
remove.
- Door window s
-Remove snow and ice on windows and ex-
terior mirrors with a p lastic scraper . To
avoid sc ratches, move the scrape r only in
one direction and not back and forth .
- Never remove snow or ice from door win
dows and m irrors using warm or hot water
because this could cause cracks to form.
- To avoid damage to the rear w indow de
fogge r, do not apply any stickers on the
heating w ires on the inside of the window.
- Decorati ve parts /tr im
- Never use chrome care or cleaning prod-
ucts.
-Paint
-To reduce the risk of scratches, the vehicle
must be free of dirt and dust before pol
ishing or waxing.
- To prevent pa int damage, do not polish or
wax the veh icle in direct sunlight .
-To reduce the risk of pa int damage, do not
polish away rust spots .
- Remove cosmetics and sunscreen immedi
ately- these could damage the paint.
- Instrument cluster
- Make sure that the instrument clus ter is
switched off and has cooled off before
cleaning it.
- The instr ument cluster and the trim sur
round ing it must not be cleaned w ith dry
cleaning methods because they could ge t
scratched.
- Make sure no fluids ente r th e spaces be
t ween the ins trumen t cluster and the
trim, because that could ca use damage .
-Control s
-Make sure that no fluids enter the con-
trols, because this could cause damage.
- Safety belts
- Do not remove the safety belts to clean
them .
- Never clean safety belts or their compo
nents chemically or with cor rosive flu ids
or so lvents and neve r a llow sha rp objects
270
to come into contact with the safety belts .
This could ca use damage to the belt web
b ing.
- If there is damage to the webbing, the
connections, the retractors or the buckles,
have them replaced by an authorized Aud i
dealer or authori zed Audi Serv ice Facility .
-Te xtile s/artificial leather / Alcantara
- Neve r treat art ificial leather/Alcantara
with leathe r ca re products, solvents, floor
polish, shoe polish, spot remove o r similar
p roducts.
- H ave a spec ialist remove stubborn stains
to prevent damage .
- Never use steam cleaners, brushes , hard
sponges, etc. when cleaning.
- Do not turn on the seat heating* to dry the
seat .
- Objects w ith sharp edges, such as zippers
or rivets on clothing or belts , can cause
damage to the surface.
- Open hook and loop faste ne rs, fo r exam

- To he lp prevent the leather from fading ,
do not leave the vehicle in d irect sunlight
for long periods of time. If leav ing the ve
