What can Audi braking guard do?
When detected in time, the system can assess
situations when a vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly or if your own vehicle is t raveling at a
high speed and approac hing a vehicle up
ahead that is movi ng more slow ly. Braking
guard does not react if it cannot detec t the
situation.
The system advises yo u of various situations:
- The distance warning is given if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead for a long time. If
the vehicle ahead brakes sharply , yo u will
not be able to avoid a collision . The indicator

in the display comes on.
- The approach warning is given when a de-
tected vehicle up ahead in your lane is mov-
ing m uch mo re slowly than you are or if it
brakes sharply. W hen t his war nin g is given,
it may on ly be possible to avoid a collision
by swerving or brakin g sharply. The indicat or
