Assistance systems
General information
Applies to: ve hicles w ith Aud i adapt ive cruise co ntro l
Fig. 112 Fro nt of th e ve hicle: senso rs an d video camera
The areas with the radar and ultrasonic sensors
and the video camera ¢
fig. 112 must not be cov ­
ered by stickers, deposits or any other objects ,
because this can interfere with the adaptive
cruise control function. For information on clean­
ing, see
c::> page 362 . The same applies for any
modifications made in the front area .
In some driving situations , the adaptive cruise
control function is restricted :
-Vehicles can only be detected when they are
within the sensor detection zones
<:;> page 113,
fig. 111 .
-The system has a limited ability to detect
vehicles that are a short distance ahead, off to
the side of your vehicle or moving into your
lane.
-Objects that are difficu lt to detect such as mo­
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance
or an overhanging load are detected late or not
detected at all.
-When driving through curves
c::>page 115 .
-When the vehicle is stationary <:;> page 115.
_& WARNING
Always pay attention to the traffic around you
when adaptive cruise control is switched on.
As the driver, you are still responsible for your
own speed and the distance to other vehicles.
The adaptive cruise control is used to assist
you. The driver must always take action to
avoid a collision. The driver is always responsi­
ble for braking at the correct time.
114
-For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather condi­
tions (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplaning) . Using the system under
these conditions increases the risk of an ac­
cident.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora­
rily when driving in turning lanes, on ex­
pressway exits (except if predictive control
is switched on) or in construction zones.
This prevents the vehicle from accelerating
to the stored speed when in these situa­
tions.
-The adaptive cruise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac­
celerator pedal. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
-When approaching stationary obstacles
such as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise con­
trol will respond with limited function .
- Adaptive cruise control does not respond to
people, animals, or crossing or oncoming
objects.
-The function of the radar sensors can be af­
fected by reflective objects such as guard rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice .
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel housing and underbody. This can impair the adaptive
cruise control. Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility check their
funct ion.
@ Tips
For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
c::> page 392.

In curves
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise contro l
Fig. 113 Example: driving into a curve
When driving into a curve <=>fig. 113 and out of a
curve , the adaptive cruise control may react to a
vehicle in the neighboring lane and apply the
brakes. You can prevent that by pressing the ac­
celerator pedal briefly.
Stationary vehicles
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
)))
Fig. 114 Example: vehicle changing lanes and stationary
vehicle
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can react to stationary vehicles
c::> fig. 114, as long as you are driving slower than
30 mph (SO km/h) and the system classifies the possible passing maneuver as low. For example,
if a vehicle that was already detected
@ turns or
changes lanes, the adaptive cruise control reacts
to the stationary vehicle ahead of
it @ .
Assistance systems
Vehicles with manual transmission
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control and
manual transmissio n
The adaptive cruise control is available from 1st
gear through 6th gear in the normal speed
range .
When the adaptive cruise control is turned on,
you must press the clutch to shift gears (as usu­ al). When shifting normally or when pressing the
clutch, the adaptive cruise control remains
turned on.
After you have engaged the gear, you do
not
need to press the gas pedal. The adaptive cruise
control accelerates automatically if necessary .
If you press down on the clutch for too long or
shift/couple improperly, the adaptive cruise con­
trol may turn off automatically.
Switching on/off
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 115 Ope rating leve r: switching on and off
Fig. 116 Ins trumen t cluster: adapt ive cr uise control
You can set any speed between 20 and 95 mph
(30 and 150 km/h).
