Audi a dapt ive crui se control an d b r a kin g guard 8 7
vehicles or obstacles that are not moving
can trigger a collision warning and if con-
firmed by the video camera, an acute col-
lision warn ing.
- For safety reasons, do not use adaptive
cruise control when driving 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 cond itions 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 construction
zones . This prevents the vehicle from ac-
celerating to the set speed when in these
situations .
- The adapt ive cru ise 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 will have limited function.
- The adapt ive cruise control system and
braking guard do not react to people , an-
ima ls, objects crossing the road o r on-
coming objects .
- The function of the radar sensors can be
affected by reflective objects such as
guard ra ils, the entra nce to a tunnel,
he avy rain or ice.
- Never follow a veh icle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safe ly. The
adaptive cruise cont ro l canno t slow or
brake the veh icle safely when you follow
another vehicle too closely. Always re-
member that the automatic braking
funct ion cannot bring the veh icle to a
sudden or emergency stop under these
condit ions .
- To prevent unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not be ing used.
(D
Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. That cou ld affect the adaptive
cruise control system and brak ing guard .
Have your authorized Audi dea le r or a u-
thorized Audi Serv ice Facility check their
funct ion.

When dr iving into a curve
c:>
fig. 88 and out of
a cu rve, the ad a ptive cruise con t rol may react
to a vehicle in the next lane and apply the
brakes . You can override or prevent the brak-
ing by pressing the accelerator pedal briefly.
Stationary objects

The adaptive cru ise con t rol system only reacts
to objects that a re mov ing or t hat the system
has a lready detected as moving . For examp le,
if a veh icle @ , which has already been detect-
ed by the adaptive cruise contro l, tu rns or
