When you draw closer to a vehicle in front, the
adaptive cruise control matches your speed to
that vehicle by applying the brakes, and then
maintains a constant distance (which you can ad­
just in the settings). If the vehicle in front accel­
erates, the adaptive cruise control will also accel­
erate up to the target speed you have specified.
The higher the speed, the higher the distance

•=> A-
We recommend using the distance 3 set­

ting.
You will then be following the general rec­
ommendations of automobile clubs, traffic au­
thorities, etc.
The actual distance maintained by the adaptive
cruise control may be longer or shorter, depend­
ing on the traffic situation and the driving style
of the driver in front.
If you change the gap, the new setting will be
shown briefly on the instrument cluster display,

Audi active Lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
The active lane assist (lane departure warning
feature) uses a camera in the windscreen to de­
tect lane markings (subject to general system
limitations). If
you
approach one of the detected
lane markings, the system corrects the steering
to warn you that the vehicle might be about to
cross one of the markings. You can override this
steering input at any time. The steering wheel vi­
brates slightly if
you
cross a lane marking. The vi­
bration warning must be activated beforehand on
the infotainment system. The active lane assist is
functional when it detects a demarcation line on
at least one side of the lane in which you are driv­

ing.

As the system is designed for driving on motor­
ways and other major roads, it is only active

§
above a speed of about 65 km/h (may vary in dif-

£
ferent export markets).
r\i

.-H

00
A WARNING
- The system initiates a corrective steering in­
put to warn the driver that the vehicle is
about to leave the lane. As the driver you
are always responsible for staying in your
own lane.
- The system can assist you to keep the
vehi­

cle in the lane, however it is not capable of
driving on its own. Never take your hands
off the steering wheel.
- In certain situations, e.g. during heavy brak­

ing,
the system may not correct the steer­

ing.

- In certain circumstances, not all of the lane
markings may be detected by the camera. A
corrective steering input can only be
initi­

ated if the system detects a lane marking on
the side in question.
- Variations in the road surface or objects on
the road may be misinterpreted as lane
markings. In this case, the steering may be
corrected unexpectedly or not at all.
- The camera's view might be obstructed, for
example by vehicles travelling in front,
rain,

snow, a lot of water on the
road,
adverse
light
or
dirt on the windscreen. If this hap­

pens,
the active lane assist may not detect

Driver assist systems
the lane markings or may respond incorrect-

iy.

- In certain circumstances, for instance if
visi­

bility is poor, the setting for the steering in­
put may temporarily be switched from "ear­

ly"
to "late"
«.

- In certain driving conditions, such as ruts in
the road surface, adverse cambers or side
winds, the assistance provided by the steer­
ing correction may be insufficient to keep
the vehicle in the middle of the lane.
- For safety reasons, the active lane assist
must not be used in poor weather or in
diffi­

cult or slippery road conditions (such as ice,

fog,
loose grit or gravel, heavy
rain,
snow,
etc.) - risk of accident!

Emergency assist
Applies to: vehicles with emergency assist
The emergency assist takes over controL of the
vehicle in certain situations and can help to pre­
vent accidents. It is an extension of the active
lane assist and can use the functions of the adap­
tive cruise control system
<=>^.
The emergency
assist is activated when it detects that the driver
has stopped steering the vehicle.
Functions of the emergency assist
The emergency assist monitors the steering ac­
tivity of the driver. It detects if the driver is inac­
tive and gives repeated visual and audible warn­
ings as well as brake jolts prompting the driver to
take proactive control of the vehicle again. The
hazard warning lights are also switched on when
the first sharp brake jolt is given below
a
speed of
80
km/h15.

If the driver does not take over, the system inter­
venes by steering the vehicle (within the limita­
tions of the system) to keep it in lane, and by ap­
plying the brakes until the vehicle has stopped*.
In addition, the warning lamp || and a message
are displayed.

Rear cross-traffic assist
Applies to: vehicles with rear cross-traffic assist

Fig.
121 Example diagram

Fig.
122 Infotainment: Rear cross-traffic assist display
While you are reversing, the rear cross-traffic as­
sist can warn against a potential collision with
traffic approaching perpendicular to the rear of
the vehicle. The system uses the radar sensors

^page
128, Fig. 120 to monitor the area behind
and to the side of the vehicle when you are leav­
ing a parking space. Where possible, it detects
objects, such as cars, as they approach the
vehi­

cle
of/g.
121.
If critical cross-traffic is detected when reversing
out of a parking space, the system reacts as
fol­

lows:

- Graphic display: A graphic with a red arrow
symbol appears on the infotainment display.
The arrow indicates the direction from which
the object is approaching
^>Fig.
122.
- Warning tone: A tone may sound continuously
as an additional signal when you are reversing.
-Automatic
brake
jolt: A short sharp application
of the brakes may also warn against a potential
collision with an approaching object.
Requirements for the use of the rear cross-
traffic assist:
-The parking aid must be switched on

^>page
134.
- Reverse gear must be engaged.
- The speed must not be higher than approxi­
mately 12 km/h.

A
WARNING
- The purpose of the rear cross-traffic assist is
to assist the driver; it cannot prevent a
colli­

sion on its own. The driver must always in­
tervene personally. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking in good time.
- Please note that the rear cross-traffic assist
may apply the brakes unexpectedly. Always
secure your luggage to prevent damage and
possible injury.
-After an automatic brake jolt, no further
brake jolt will occur within 10 seconds.
- If the rear cross-traffic assist gives an
acoustic warning signal, the parking aid may
no Longer be able to warn you against obsta­
cles it has detected.
- The radar sensor vision can be impaired, e.g.
by leaves, snow, heavy road spray or dirt.
Clean the area in front of the sensors

*>page
128, Fig. 120.

A
WARNING
The rear cross-traffic assist has certain inher­
ent limitations and cannot warn against an
impending collision in every situation:
- It cannot give a warning if the vehicle is so
far into a parking space that it is hidden by
the vehicles in front and behind.
- People such as cyclists, joggers, inline skat­
ers and pedestrians may not be detected in
certain situations.
- It cannot give a warning when you are
parked at an angle or parallel to the
road­

side.
