Storing the speed and activating regulation
If you have switched the system on, you can set
the current speed as the “regulated speed” and
activate regulation:
> Press the [SET] button (2). The set speed is indi-
cated with a marking in the speedometer (@)
=> page 113, fig. 94 and shown in the instru-
ment cluster > /\.
> To store the speed when stationary, the brake
pedal must also be pressed.
You can set any speed between 20 mph
(30 km/h) and the maximum possible speed
range @ & page 113, fig. 94.
Pausing cruise control
The cruise control can be paused at any time
while driving or when stationary.
D_ Depends on the country and engine

ing in the speedometer @) > page 113, fig. 94
has reached the desired speed.
Preselecting a speed
You can also preselect the speed when adaptive
cruise assist is not active by moving the lever in
the desired direction @/C). Activate the previ-
ously selected speed by pulling the lever toward
you in the direction of the arrow.
Switching off
If you do not want to use the adaptive cruise as-
sist for a longer period of time, you can switch it
off.
> To switch off the adaptive cruise assist, push
the lever away from you to position © until it
engages.
The indicator light and the set speed will turn off.
Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The activated adaptive cruise assist is only

responsible for controlling the vehicle. The
driver is especially responsible for braking,
starting to drive, controlling the speed, and
maintaining the distance to other vehicles.
— Turn on the adaptive cruise assist only if the
surrounding conditions permit it. Always
adapt your driving style to the current visu-
al, weather, road, and traffic conditions.
— Switch the adaptive cruise assist off tempo-
rarily when driving in turning lanes or high-
way exits. This prevents the vehicle from ac-
celerating to the stored speed when in these
situations.
ZA WARNING
If you press the SETI2) button when driving
at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h), then 20
mph (30 km/h) will be set because that is the
minimum speed that can be set. If no vehicle
is detected ahead of you, the vehicle will ac-
celerate up to that speed.
@ 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.
— If you switch the ignition or the adaptive
cruise assist off, the stored speed is erased
for safety reasons.
— When the adaptive cruise assist is switched
on, the ESC and the ASR are switched on au-
tomatically.
— The system cannot be switched off if the
road exceeds the maximum possible grade
for safe operation.
— If you signal to pass and the adaptive cruise
assist suggests a passing maneuver, the
adaptive cruise assist will accelerate just be-
fore changing lanes to shorten the distance
to the vehicle driving ahead.
Setting the distance
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist
B4M-0234
Fig. 98 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 G) or C).
The newly set distance is shown briefly, for exam-
ple with the [eg indicator light. In the Driver as-
sistance display, a graphic display is shown in-
stead of the indicator lights > page 113, fig. 95.
The display matches the functions of the indica-
tor 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:

Stopping with adaptive cruise assist
The adaptive cruise assist also assists you in stop-
and-go traffic. Within the limits of the system,
your vehicle may brake and remain at a stop if a
vehicle driving ahead stops.
Starting to drive with adaptive cruise assist
As long as the message ready to drive and A is
displayed, your vehicle will begin driving when
the vehicle ahead starts to move > /\.
If you are stopped for several seconds, your vehi-
cle will no longer drive autonomously for safety
reasons, and the message will turn off.
> To extend ready to drive for several seconds or
reactivate, pull the lever briefly towards you in
the direction of the arrow > page 116, fig. 99.
> To resume manual control of the vehicle, tap
the accelerator pedal.
Safe start monitor
Applies to: vehicles with safe start monitor
The vehicle can still start to drive even if certain
obstacles are detected when starting to drive
=> /\. For example, if an obstacle is detected by
the ultrasonic sensors for the parking system,
the A indicator light will warn you of the dan-
ger.
If you are in the Driver assistance display, the
display @) © fig. 100 and the message WARN-
ING! also appear. An audio signal will also sound.
Your vehicle will drive more slowly when starting.
This may also occur in some situations when
there is no apparent obstacle.
Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and respect
the limits of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras > page 104.
— If the message ready to drive appears, your
vehicle will start driving even if there is an
obstacle between your vehicle and the vehi-
cle ahead. To reduce the risk of an accident,
always make sure there are no obstacles be-
tween your vehicle and the vehicle driving
ahead.
G) Tips
For safety reasons, adaptive cruise assist is
only active if:
— The driver's safety belt is fastened
— All doors and the hood are closed
— Your vehicle is not stopped for a long period
of time

may be covered. Clean the area in front of the
sensors > page 105, fig. 87 and try to turn on
the systems again later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
@) Tips
— The driver is always responsible for adhering
to the regulations applicable in the country
where the vehicle is being operated.
— You may fall below the warning threshold
briefly when passing or when quickly ap-
proaching a vehicle driving ahead. There is
no warning in this scenario. A warning is giv-
en only if you fall below the warning thresh-
old for an extended period of time.
Lane departure warning
General information
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
The lane departure warning can detect lane
marker lines within the limits of the system. If
you are approaching a detected lane marker and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system can warn you with corrective steering and
a steering wheel vibration, if necessary.
The system functions in the speed range of ap-
proximately 40 mph - 155 mph (65 km/h -
250 km/h).
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
and without side assist: The system will not warn
you before crossing a lane marker line if you have
activated the turn signal. In this case, it assumes
that you are changing lanes intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with lane departure warning
combined with side assist: A noticeable corrective
steering movement will occur briefly before the
vehicle exits the lane if the turn signal is activat-
ed, the lane departure warning is ready, and a
lane change has been classified as critical by the
system due to vehicles traveling beside you or
due to approaching vehicles. This will attempt to
keep your vehicle in the lane.

limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
