vides a warning but does not brake the
car for you . You must apply the brakes
yourself!
- Always keep the safe and legal distance
between your vehicle and vehicles up
ahead.
-Audi braking guard works within limits
and w ill not respond outs ide the system
limits, for example when approaching a
stopped vehicle or stationary obstacle
(end of a traff ic jam or vehicle that has
broken down in traffic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor
for the Audi braking guard works within
defined detection and range limits that
may prevent the proper detection of oth-
er vehicles.
- The radar sensor's function and range
can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray. Moving vehicles up ahead may not
be promptly detected or may not be de-
tected at all.
- Always pay careful attention to the traf-
fic situation and be ready to intervene
and be ready to take complete control
whenever necessary.

ers or tunnel entrances may impair the
function of the radar sensor.
