Aud i adaptive
cruise
control
and braking
guard
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 could result in a colli-
sion.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempo-
rar ily when driv ing in turning lanes, on
expressway exits or in construc t ion
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 traffic, adaptive cruise
control will not respond and braking
guard w ill 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 vehicle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely. The
adaptive cruise control cannot slow or
brake the veh icle safely when you follow
ano t her vehicle too closely . Always re-
member that the automatic braking
function cannot bring the vehicle to a
sudden or emergency stop under these
conditions.
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not being used.

Note
The sensor can be d isp laced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . That could affect the adaptive
cruise control system and b raking guard.
Have your authorized Audi dea ler or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.

and out
of a curve, the adaptive cruise control 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

ary object
The adaptive cru ise control system only reacts
to objects that are moving or that the system
has a lready detected as moving. For example,
if a vehi cle @ , which has already been detect-
ed by the adaptive cru ise control, turns or
changes lanes and another stationary vehicle
@
is located in front of t hat vehicle, the sys-
tem will not react to the stationary vehicle.
