Night vision assist
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by
using an infrared camera to monitor the area in
front of your vehicle, within the limits of the sys-
tem. It can display objects up to a distance of ap-
proximately 1000 feet (300 m).
Pedestrian and wild animals are detected by
measuring the temperature difference between
the object and the background. Pedestrians and
wild animals will not be detected if the tempera-
ture difference is too small. The pedestrian and
wild animal marking feature is deactivated at
temperatures above approximately 77 °F (25 °C)
and when it is light outside.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.
The camera for the night vision assist @)
=> page 125, fig. 98 is located in the vehicle's ra-
diator grille. Make sure the night vision camera is
not covered by stickers, deposits, or any other ob-
structions because this can impair the night vi-
sion assist function. Follow the information
about cleaning > page 263.

ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Night vision assist can only detect pedes-
trians and wild animals located within the
range of the infrared camera.
— Night vision assist cannot detect pedes-
trians or wild animals and mark them if:
— They are not in an upright position, for ex-
ample if they are sitting or lying down
and/or
— The silhouette in the display appears in-
complete or interrupted, for example be-
cause the pedestrian is partially behind a
vehicle or an animal is partially covered by
tall grass.
— Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or other road
users.
(i) Tips

assist can detect pedestrians and wild animals
that are between approximately 32 feet (10 m)
and 295 feet (90 m) in front of the vehicle and
132
within the detection zone. Animal recognition is
not active within highly developed areas. The sys-
tem only detects large wild animals such as deer.
When it is dark outside and the low beams are
switched on, detected objects are marked in yel-
low @), within the limits of the system.
Pedestrian and wild animal warning
This system limits are based on the vehicle speed
and steering angle. Pedestrian and wild animal
warning encourages you to pay more attention.
If there are pedestrians or wild animals in front
of your vehicle that could pose a danger, the sys-
tem will direct your attention to this.
— Pedestrians or wild animals are highlighted in
red in the instrument cluster (2) and the J or
BAN symbol turns on @.
— When the head-up display* is switched on, the
additional indicator [AM or EM appears.
—Achime will sound if something is detected.

Cruise control system
Applies to: vehicles with cruise control system
The cruise control system assists the driver in
maintaining a constant speed above approxi-
mately 15 mph (20 km/h). The system maintains
the desired speed by braking and accelerating.

ZA WARNING
— Always pay attention to the traffic around
your vehicle when the cruise control system
is in operation. As the driver, you are always
responsible for controlling your vehicle
speed and the distance between your vehicle
and
other vehicles.
— For safety reasons, cruise control should not
be used in the city, in stop-and-go traffic, on
winding roads, and when road conditions are
poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain,
and conditions that could lead to hydroplan-
ing), because this increases the risk of an ac-
cident.
— Switch the cruise control off temporarily
when driving in turning lanes, highway exits,
or in construction zones.
—To reduce the risk of an accident, you should
only resume the stored speed if it is suitable
for the current traffic conditions.


C) Note
Before driving downhill a long distance ona
steep hill, decrease your speed and use the
braking effect of recuperation > page 90. This
reduces the load on the brakes.
@) Tips

During predictive control), the adaptive cruise
assist uses data from the efficiency assist. The
system adapts the speed set in the adaptive
cruise assist to the speed limits that are detected
and the layout of the road. After that, the system
accelerates up to the speed that was set.
After switching on the ignition, the availability of
predictive control is indicated by a message when
the adaptive cruise assist is first activated.
The displays depend on the vehicle equipment.
Requirements
— The adaptive cruise assist must be actively reg-
ulating > page 141.
— The system can only react to speed limits that
are 20 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
Display in the speedometer
The display in the speedometer is not available in
all layouts*.
@ The marking shows the set speed (regulated
speed that was set by the driver or by predic-
tive control).
@ The red band shows the difference between
the speed limit and the set speed that is set.
@® The gray band shows if the vehicle speed is
planned to drop below the set speed due to
the road layout.
Overriding control
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 change the speed

— Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when predictive control is
switched on. The driver is always responsible
for assessing the traffic situation.
— The system does not consider “right of way”
rules and does not respond to traffic lights,
so lack of driver attention in these situations
can increase the risk of an accident.
— The speed when driving through curves may
be different from what you as a driver would
do or may not be suitable for the weather
and road conditions. If necessary, apply the

@) Tips
— Predictive control can exceed or drop below
the maximum permitted speed. The driver
is responsible for adhering to the permitted
speed limit.
— The traffic signs on the road always take pri-
ority over the display. The driver is always
responsible for adhering to the regulations
applicable in the country where the vehicle
is being operated.
— Ifa speed limit is detected, the marking @
of the set speed limit will be adjusted even
if the adaptive cruise assist is not actively
regulating.
— You may temporarily fall below or exceed
the set speed due to recuperation.
— Control by the system depends on which
adaptive cruise assist driving program is set
or on the selected Audi drive select* mode.
— After switching on the ignition and first
driving onto a freeway or similar road with-
out a speed limit, the system will regulate
the speed to 80 mph (130 km/h), Then
the system adjusts to the last speed set by
the driver.
— There is no adaptation to speed limits when
driving through highway interchanges and
when driving on or off the expressway.
— The system can fail to provide control or the
control may be faulty if the values from the
camera-based traffic sign recognition* are
incorrect or the navigation system map data
is outdated.
— When route guidance is switched on, the
system adapts to the route provided by the
navigation system. Driving without route
guidance or leaving a route can result in
faulty control.
— Specific settings are stored automatically in
the active personal profile.
