Audi adaptive cruise control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 94 Detect ion ra nge
The adaptive cru ise cont rol system is a comb ina­
t ion of speed and dis tance regu lation .
It assists
t h e d river by bo th regu lating the speed and
maintain ing a d istance to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, within the limits of the system.
If the sys­
tem detects a vehicle d riving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate your vehi ­
cle. T his makes driving more comfortable both
o n long stretches of highway and in stop -and-go
traffic.
What can adapti ve cruise control do?
The adaptive cru ise control system uses video, ra­
dar, ultrasound and navigation data . Vehicles
driv ing ahead can be recognized up to 650 ft
(200 m) away .
Pred ictive functions offer the driver additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduct ion in fuel
