- For safety reasons, do not use adapt ive
cruise contro l when driv ing 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 condi-
t ions could result in a collision .
- Switch adaptive cruise contro l off tempora-
rily when driving in turn ing lanes, on ex-
pressway exits or in const ruct ion zones. This
preven t s the vehicle from accelerating to
the set speed when in these situat ions .
- The adapt ive cruise con t rol system will no t
bra ke by it self if you pu t your foot on the ac-
celerator peda l. Doing so can override the
speed and distance regulation.
- Whe n approaching stat ionary obje cts such
as stopped traffic, adapt ive cruise control
will not respo nd and braking guard will have
limited function .
- The adaptive cruise control system and
brak ing guard do not react to peop le, ani-
ma ls, objects crossing the road or oncom ing
objects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af-
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rai ls, t he entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
- Never follow a veh icle so closely that you
cannot stop your vehicle safely . The adap-
t ive cruise control cannot slow or brake the
vehicle safely when you follow another veh i-
cle too close ly. Always remember t hat the
aut om atic b raking function ca nnot br ing the
vehicle to a sudden or emergency stop un-
der these conditions .
- To preven t unintended operation, always
switch ACC off when it is not be ing used.

Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts o r
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. That could affect t he adaptive
cru ise contr ol sys t em and braking guard.
Have your a uthorized Audi dea ler or author·
ized Audi Service Facility check their function.
In curves
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adapt ive cruise control
Fig. 9 7
Exampl e : driving into a curve
When driving into a curve¢ fig . 97 and out of a
curve, the adaptive cruise control may react to a
vehicle in the next lane and apply the brakes . You
can override or prevent the braking by press ing
the accelerator pedal briefly.
Stationary objects
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 98
Exam ple: object changing lanes and s tat ionary ob ·
j ect
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 stat ionary vehicle @ is located in
front of that vehicle, the system will not react to
t he stationary veh icle.
