Driver assistance

In stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle may brake to a
full stop and then may also start driving again
automatically under certain conditions.


Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.


For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see > page 261.

Fig. 92 Example: vehicle changing lanes and stationary ve-
hicle



— When driving into a curve > fig. 93 and out of a
curve, the adaptive cruise assist may react to a
vehicle in the adjacent lane and apply the
brakes. You can override the system by pressing
the accelerator pedal briefly.
— The adaptive cruise assist works with radar. Ve-
hicles can only be detected once they are within
the area and range covered by the radar
=>page 105.
— When driving around tight curves, a vehicle
driving ahead that was previously detected may
no longer be detected, and the adaptive cruise
assist may accelerate unexpectedly.
— The adaptive cruise assist does not react toa
stationary vehicle in the same lane if the sys-
tem expects that you can easily drive around
the stationary vehicle by turning the steering
wheel.
— The adaptive cruise assist may not react to sta-
tionary obstacles, such as the end of a traffic
jam, especially at high speeds.
— The adaptive cruise assist 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 difficult to detect, such as mo-
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance,
or vehicles with an overhanging load, may be
detected late or not detected at all.
— The adaptive cruise assist does not respond to
people, animals, or objects that are crossing or
approaching from the opposite direction.

Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.

Fig. 93 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise assist
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by ap-
plying the brakes.
— If a vehicle that was already detected @ turns
or changes lanes, the adaptive cruise assist will
react to the vehicle ahead of it @.

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.

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

Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front
The Audi pre sense front system uses the data
from the radar sensors and calculates the proba-
bility of a rear-end collision. Within the limits of
the system, an impending collision with the front
of the vehicle can be detected in both urban and
rural speed ranges.
Audi pre sense front is active at speeds of approx-
imately 3 mph (5 km/h) and higher. The system
can respond to pedestrians crossing the street or
going in the same direction of travel 3) at speeds
up to 40 mph (65 km/h). It can also respond to
stationary vehicles at speeds up to 52 mph (85
km/h) as well as to vehicles driving ahead or
stopped vehicles at speeds up to 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 vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 50 mph (30 to 85 km/h) and
it approaches a stationary vehicle.
— Your vehicle is traveling at speeds between ap-
proximately 20 to 155 mph (30 to 250 km/h)
and it approaches a vehicle that is clearly trav-
eling more slowly or a vehicle in your direction
of travel that is stopped.
— Ifa crossing pedestrian?) moves into the lane
and you are driving at speeds between approxi-
mately 18 to 40 mph (30 to 65 km/h).
— If a pedestrian is moving in your direction of
travel and in your lane 2) and you are driving at
speeds between approximately 18 to 40 mph
(30 to 65 km/h).
The message Audi pre sense o and a warning
tone will warn you about the danger.
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there may also be an acute warning inthe form >
