lane guidance is not active. This may be due to
the following reasons:
— The necessary lane marker lines have not been
detected (for example, in a construction zone
or because the lines are obstructed by snow,
dirt, water, or lighting)
— The lane is too narrow or too wide
— The curve is too narrow
— Visibility is obstructed by a rise or dip.
— The driver's hands are not on the steering
wheel

ZA WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.

@ Tips
— Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
— It is recommended to only switch on lane
guidance on well-constructed roads.
— Specific settings are stored automatically in

Setting the distance
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist

B4M-0234


Fig. 113 Operating lever: setting the distance
If you adjust the speed, you must also change the
time gap to the vehicle driving ahead. The higher
the speed, the greater the distance that is need-
ed.
> Tap the rocker switch to display the distance
that is currently set.
> To increase or decrease the distance in incre-
ments, tap the switch again toward (4) or @).
The newly set distance is shown briefly, for exam-
ple with the indicator light. In the Driver as-
sistance display, a graphic display is shown in-
stead of the indicator lights > page 140,
fig. 109. The display matches the functions of
the indicator lights.

When approaching a vehicle driving ahead, the
adaptive cruise assist brakes to the set speed and
then maintains the set distance. If the vehicle
driving ahead accelerates, then the adaptive
cruise assist will also accelerate up to the speed
that you have set.
The following distances can be set:

Meaning

The time between is approximately 1
second. This setting corresponds to a
distance of approximately 92 feet (28
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100
km/h).
The time between is approximately 1.3
seconds. This setting corresponds toa
distance of approximately 118 feet (36
m) when traveling at 62 mph (100
km/h).
The time between is approximately 1.8
seconds. This setting meets the general
recommendation of “half the speed
shown on the speedometer”. This cor-
responds to a distance of approximate-
ly 164 feet (SO m) when traveling at
62 mph (100 km/h).

Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front

The Audi pre sense front uses the data from the
camera and calculates the probability of a rear-
end collision. Within the limits of the system, an
impending frontal impact with vehicles, pedes-
trians), or cyclists!) may be detected in both ur-
ban and rural speed ranges.
Audi pre sense front is active at speeds of approx-
imately 6 mph (10 km/h) and higher. It can react
to pedestrians” or cyclists) at speeds up to ap-
proximately 50 mph (85 km/h), and can react to
vehicles at speeds up to approximately 155 mph
(250 km/h).
Early warning/acute warning
The system can recognize various dangerous sit-
uations. The early warning occurs if:
—Avehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly
— Your own vehicle approaches a vehicle in front
of you that is traveling at a significantly slower
speed or that is stationary
—A pedestrian or cyclist!) is standing in the lane
or is moving into the lane
The message Audi pre sense [and a warning
tone will warn you about the danger.
The brakes may also be applied as an acute warn-
ing when there is an impending collision. You will
also be warned by an indicator in the instrument
cluster display. When this warning occurs, it may
only be possible to avoid a collision by swerving
or braking strongly.
Automatic deceleration
If you do not react to the acute warning, Audi pre
sense front can brake the vehicle to a full stop
within the limits of the system ). This reduces
the vehicle speed in the event of a collision.

D_ This is not available in some countries.
Automatic braking force increase
If Audi pre sense determines that you are not
braking strongly enough when a collision is immi-
nent, it can increase the braking force based on
the
situation.
Take-over
If the message Go Please take over! appears, the
vehicle has been braked to a stop by Audi pre
sense and you must resume control of the vehi-
cle.

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Audi pre sense front cannot overcome natu-
ral physical laws. It is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision in ev-
ery circumstance. The driver must always in-
tervene. The driver is always responsible for
braking at the correct time. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk of
a collision.
— Audi pre sense front does not react to cer-
tain objects, such as animals, crossing or on-
coming vehicles, bars, railings, or railcars.
— Audi pre sense front may be limited or un-
available when driving in curves.
—In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
trailer can be different than usual during au-
tomatic braking.
G@) Tips
Keep in mind that Audi pre sense front can ap-
ply the brakes unexpectedly. Always secure
any cargo or objects that you are transporting
to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

General information
The intersection assistant can warn the driver of
approaching cross traffic in complex intersections
> fig. 123.
The system monitors intersections and exit
ramps using the sensors installed in the vehicle
that detect the front and side areas around the
vehicle. Moving objects that are approaching
from behind, such as cars, are detected within
the limits of the system > A\. The system can al-
so warn the driver of a potential collision with de-
tected approaching cross traffic in intersections
and exit ramps with poor visibility.
Requirements for using the intersection
assistant:
— The intersection assistant must be switched on
in the MMI = page 126.
— The speed must not be higher than approxi-
mately 18 mph (30 km/h).
