Assistance systems Electronic speed limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with t ires
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 t ire speed rating. For mo re information
~page 341.
If the engine control unit receives faulty vehicle
road speed s ignals, the Malfunction Indicator
L amp
(MIL) ¢..ij will illuminate. If this occurs,
contact the nearest autho rized 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 max imum 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 be­
low a specified maximum speed that can be set,
changed or deleted in the Infotainment system.
-
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
A wa rning tone will sound as soo n as yo ur speed
exceeds the s tored value sligh tly. The
[01 (USA
models)/
[01 (Canada models) indicator light
and a message appear in the instrument cluster
display at the same time. The
HI] / [0] indicator
light and the message turn off if the speed falls
back below the stored maximum speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would l ike to be reminded when yo u reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gen er-

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: veh icles with Audi adaptive cruise contro l
Fig. 111 De tect ion range
The adaptive cruise control system is a combina­
t ion of speed and distance regulation.
It assists
the driver 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 veh icle driving ahead, the adaptive
cru ise control can brake and acce lerate your vehi­
cle . This increases driving comfort dur ing long
tr ips on highways and in stop-and -go traff ic (au­
tomatic transm iss ion*) .
What can adaptive cruise control do?
<( ~ The adaptive cruise contro l system uses video, ra-
"' ~ dar, ultrasound and navigation data. Veh icles
.... 0 \0
3 Assistance systems
driving ahead can be recognized up to 650 feet
(200 m) away.
Predictive functions offer the driver additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduction in fue l
consumption and CO2 emissions
¢ page 120.
On open roads with no traffic , it functions like a
cruise control system. The stored speed is main­
tained . When approaching a vehicle driving
ahead, the adaptive cruise contro l system auto­
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then mainta ins the set distance. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle dr iv ing
ahead, adaptive cru ise control accelerates up to
the stored speed .
Applies to: vehicles with automatic transmissions
In stop-and-go traffic, adaptive cruise control can
brake until the veh icle is stationary and then can
also start driving again automat ically under cer­
ta in cond itions
¢ page 117.
In traffic jams or stop-and -go traffic, traffic jam
ass ist can assist the
driver ¢ page 121.
Which functions can be controlled?
When you switc h adapt ive cruise control on, you
can set the current speed as the "contro l speed"
¢ page 115, Switching on/off.
When driving, you can stop cru ise control
¢ page 118 or change the speed ¢ page 117 at
any time.
You can also set the distance to the vehicle driv­ ing ahead and set the driving mode of the adap­
t ive cru ise control
¢ page 118.
113

That is equal to the general recommendation of
"half the speed shown on the speedometer".
The distances provided are specified val ues. De­
pending on the d riving situation and how the ve­
hicle ahead is driving, the actual distance may be
more or less than these target distances.
If you change the time gaps, the newly se t value
appears briefly in the instrument cluster display,
for example
II for Distance 3. This only occurs if
the
Driver assistance disp lay is not currently
shown in the display
~ page 115, fig. 116.
Distance 1 : this setting corresponds to a distance
of 92 feet (28 meters) when traveling at 62 mph
(100 km/h), or a time distance of 1 second.
Distance 2 : this setting corresponds to a distance
of 118 feet (36 meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.3 sec­
onds.
Distance 3: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 164 feet (SO meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 1.8 sec­
onds.
Distance 4: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 219 feet (67 meters) when traveling a t 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 2.4 sec­
onds.
Distance 5: this setting corresponds to a distance
of 328 feet (100 meters) when traveling at 62
mph (100 km/h), or a time distance of 3.6 sec ­
onds.
A WARNING
When setting the distance, the driver is re­
sponsible for adhering to any applicab le legal
regulations.
@ Tips
- Depending on the selected driving mode in
drive select* and the set distance, the driv­
ing behavior will vary from dynamic to com­
fortable when accelerating

- Distance 3 is set automatically each time
you switch the ignition on. If you would like
to set another d istance as the default set­

-The system only considers traffic signs that
give a speed limit.
- The permitted speed can be exceeded if the
adaptation to a speed limit is incorrect. The dr iver 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 r isk of a n accident .
(D Tips
-If a speed limit is detected, the stored
speed is also adjusted in the speedometer
L ED line when the adaptive cruise control is
not active .
- The adaptation by the system depends on
the driving mode set in drive select* .
- Switch ing off pred ictive control, for exam­
ple when dr iving in low traffic zones, does
not cause the adaptive cru ise control to
switch off.
-After switching on the ignit ion, the system
i nit ially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driv ing onto h ighways
wi thou t a speed limit . Then the system ad­
ju sts to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driv ing thro ugh highway interchanges and
when driving on o r off the expressway.
- There is no predictive cont rol at speed limits
u nder 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed limit is only detected by the cam­
era and the actual speed is s ignificantly
h igher, then the speed limit will blink i n the
display unti l you have reached the requ ired
speed
~ page 110 .
-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 w ithout route
guidance or leaving a route can resu lt in im­
plaus ible control.
A ss is ta nce syst ems
-The system switches off when outside of a
