118 Audi adaptive cruise control
When there is no t raffic in front, the adaptive
cruise control works just li ke a norma l cruise
control system by maintaining a constant
speed. When you draw closer to a vehicle in
front which is detected by the system, the
adaptive cruise control matches your speed to
that vehicle by automatically applying the
brakes, and then maintains a constant dis-
tance (which you can adjust in the setti ngs).
As soon as it detects no more veh icles in
front, the adaptive cruise control accelerates
back up to the cruising speed .
Applies to vehicles w ith automatic gearbox•:
In congested traffic, t he adaptive cruise con-
trol can brake down to a standstill (subject to
general system limitations) and accelerate
again under certain
conditions ~
