Predictive control
(efficiency assist)
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control and pre·
dict ive efficiency assist
Fig. 122 Instrument cluster: predictive control
General information
The predictive control 1l 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
r::!> page 109.
When coming up to areas with speed limits or
changes in the course of the road (such as curves,
inte rsections or traffic circles), the system brakes
automatically and then accelerates back up to
the set speed.
When adaptive cruise cont rol is switched off, the
system only provides notificat ions without con­
trolled intervent ions
r::!> page 112 .
The driver can override the predictive control at
any time by pressing the accelerator or brake
pedal. If the system changes the vehicle speed to
adapt to speed limits, you can ch ange the speed
using the lever
<:!> page 117 , fig . 117 .
Always switch off the predictive control in
the following situations:
- When increased attention is needed from the
driver .
- In poor we ather condit ions such as snow or
heavy rain .
- When driving on roads in poor condition.
l) This is no t a vail able in som e coun trie s.

Indicator in the instrument cluster display
When switching on the adaptive cruise control
for the first time, the message
ACC: 1111 + B ac­
tive
in the instr ument cluster indicates the avail­
ability of the predictive control.
The symbol appears when the system
i s regulating the speed to match a speed limit .
If
this is the case, the system is regulating a speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h). The speed is then taken
over by the adaptive cruise control. The speed in
the speedometer LED ring adjusts to the speed to
be maintained
r::!> page 115, fig. 116 . The ..
r::!> fig. 122 symbol appears when there is an adap ­
tation to the route ahead .
If you are in the

A WARNING
- Read the warnings on c> .& in General infor­
mation on page 114
and on r::!> .& in Descrip­
tion an page 109 .
-Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when predictive control is
sw itched on. The driver is always responsi­
ble for assessing the traffic situation.
-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.

Assistance systems
In a speed range under 40 mph (65 km/h), traffic
jam assist can help to keep the vehicle within a
lane calculated by the system. Within the limits
of the system, the system controls the steering
automatically when adaptive cruise control is
switched on . Since traffic jam assist is only an as­
sist system, the driver must always keep his or
her hands on the steering wheel and be ready to
steer. The driver can override the control at any
time by actively steering.
The system is designed for driving on express­
ways and highways.

CJ) Note
- Neve r let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is not actually
necessary. This causes the brakes to over­
heat and increases braking d istance and
causes wear .
- Before driv ing downhill a long distance on a
steep hi ll, decrease your speed and select a
l ower gear. This makes use of the engine
b raking effect and re lieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally , brake in in­
te rvals and n ot co nti nu ously .
(J) Tips
-If the b rake booster is no t wo rking, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce th an norma l.
- If you re trofit you r vehicle with a fron t spoil­
e r, whee l cove rs o r similar items, ma ke sure
th at t he ai r flow to the fron t wheels is not
i nte rr upt ed . Ot he rw ise the bra ke sys tem
