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
sensor 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 sensor can be disp laced 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.

and out of a
curve, the adapt

cruise control
may react to
a
vehicle in the next
lane
and apply the brakes
.
You
can override or prevent the braking by pressing
the accelerator pedal
brief
ly.
Stationary objects

t
The adaptive cruise
control
system only reacts
to
objects
that
are moving or
that
the system has
already
detected
as
moving
.
For example,
if
ave-
hicle
@
,
which
has already
been detected
by
the
adaptive cruise control, turns or changes lanes
and another
stationary vehicle
@
is
located in
front of that vehicle, the
system
will not react to
the sta
t
ionary veh icle.
Vehicles with manual transmission
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
The adaptive cru ise control is availab le from the
2nd gear through the 6th gea
r
in the customary
RPM.
