- 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 ra in and hydroplan-
ing). Using the system under these condi·
tions could result in a collision.
- Switch adaptive cruise control off tempora-
rily when driving in turn ing lanes, on ex-
pressway exits or in construction zones. This
prevents the vehicle from accelerating to
the set speed when in these situat ions .
- The adapt ive cruise control system will not
brake by itself if you put your foot on the ac-
celerator peda l. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regu lation.
- When approaching stat ionary objects such
as stopped traffic, 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, ani-
mals, objects crossing the road or oncom ing
objects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af-
fected 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 adap·
t ive cruise control cannot slow or brake the
vehicle safely when you fo llow another veh i-
cle too close ly. Always remember that the
automatic braking function ca nnot br ing the
vehicle to a sudden o r emergency stop un-
der these conditions .
- 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 bumpe r, whee l housing and
unde rbody. That could affect the adaptive
cruise control system and braking guard .
Have your authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility check their function.

In curves
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 87 Example : driving into a curve
When driving into a curve
c:::>
fig. 87 and out of a
curve, the adapt ive cruise control may react to an
object in the neighboring lane and apply the
brakes . You can prevent that by pressing the ac-
celerator peda l br iefly.
Stationary objects
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 88 Example: object changing lanes and stat ionary ob·
jec t
The adaptive cruise control system only reacts to
objects that are moving or that the system has
already detected as moving . For example, it can
react when a vehicle that has already been de·
tected @ turns or changes lanes, but adaptive
cruise control does not react to a stationary veh i-
cle @ .
