Aud i a d a pti ve c ruise contr o l and br a kin g gu ar d
- For safety reasons, do not use adapt ive
cruise contro l when driv ing on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condit ion and/or in bad weather (such
as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplan-
ing) . Using the system under these condi-
t ions could result in a collision .
- Switch adaptive cruise contro l off tempora-
rily when driving in turn ing lanes, on ex-
pressway exits or in const ruct ion zones. This
preven t s the vehicle from accelerating to
the set speed when in these situat ions .
- The adapt ive cruise con t rol system will no t
bra ke by it self if you pu t your foot on the ac-
celerator peda l. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
- Whe n approaching stat ionary obje cts such
as stopped traffic, adapt ive cruise control
will not respo nd and braking guard will have
limited function .
- The adaptive cruise control system and
brak ing guard do not react to peop le, ani-
ma ls, objects crossing the road or oncom ing
objects.
- The function of the radar sensor can be af-
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rai ls, t he entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
- Never follow a veh icle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely . The adap-
t ive cruise control cannot slow or brake the
vehicle safely when you follow another veh i-
cle too close ly. Always remember t hat the
aut om atic b raking function ca nnot br ing the
vehicle to a sudden or emergency stop un-
der these conditions .
- To preven t unintended operation, always
switch adaptive cruise contro l off w hen it is
not being used .
(D
Note
The sensor can be disp laced by im pacts or
da mage t o the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. That cou ld affect t he adaptive
cru ise control system and braking guard.
Have your a uthorized Audi dea ler or author-
ized Audi Service Facility check their function.
In curves
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adapt ive cruise control
Fig. 1 17 Examp le: dri ving int o a curve
When driving into a curve¢ fig. 117 and out of a
curve, the adapt ive cruise control may react to a
vehicle in the next lane and apply the brakes . You
can override or prevent the braking by press ing
the accelerator pedal briefly.
Stationary objects
Applies to vehicles: wit h Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 1 18 Example: object chang ing lanes and st at ionary
object
The adaptive cruise control system only reacts to
objects that are moving or that the system has
already detected as moving. For example, if ave-
hicle @ , which has already been detected by the
adaptive cruise control, turns or changes lanes
and another stat ionary vehicle @ is located in
front of that vehicle, the system will not react to
t he stationary veh icle.
