confirmed by the video camera, an acute
collision warning.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving on roads with
many curves, when the road surface is in
poor condition and/or in bad weather
(such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and
hydroplan ing). Using the system under
these conditions cou ld result in a colli-
sion.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempo-
rar ily when driving in turning lanes, on
expressway exits or in cons t ruction
zones. This prevents the vehicle from ac-
celerating to the set speed when in these
situations.
- The adaptive cruise control system will
not brake by itse lf if you put your foot on
the accelerator pedal. Doing so can over-
ride the speed and distance regulation .
- When approaching stationary objects
such as stopped traff ic, adaptive cruise
control will not respond and braking
guard will have limited function.
- The adaptive cruise control system and
braking guard do not react to people, an-
ima ls, objects crossing the road or on-
coming objects.
- The function of the radar sensor can be
affected by reflective objects such as
guard rails, the entrance to a tunnel,
heavy rain or ice.
- Never follow a ve hicle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely. The
adaptive cruise cont ro l cannot slow or
brake the veh icle safely when you follow
ano t her veh icle too closely. Always re-
member that the automatic braking
function cannot bring the vehicle to a
sudden or emergency stop under these
condit ions.
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not being used.
(D
Note
The sensor can be disp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . That could affect the adaptive
cruise control system and braking g uard.
Have your authorized Audi dea ler o r a u-

and out
of a curve, the adaptive cru ise contro l may re-
act to a vehicle in the next lane and app ly the
brakes. You can override or prevent the brak -
ing by pressing the accelerator pedal briefly.
Stationary objects

The adaptive cru ise control system only reacts
to objects that a re mov ing or that the system
has a lready detected as moving . For examp le,
if a ve hicle @ , which has already been detec t-
ed by the adaptive cru ise con t rol , turns or
changes lanes and another stationa ry vehicle
@
is located in front of that vehicle, the sys-
tem will not react to the stationary vehicle.
