What can Audi braking guard do?
When detected in time, the system can assess
situations when a vehicle ahead brakes sud-
denly or if your own vehicle is t raveling at a
high speed and approaching a vehicle up
ahead that is movi ng more slow ly. Braking
guard does not react if it cannot detect the
situation.
The system advises you of various situations:
- The
distance warning is given if you are too
close to the vehicle ahead for a long time. If
the vehicle ahead brakes sharply , you will
not be able to avoid a collision . The indicator
light
I in the display comes on.
- The
approach warning is given when a de-
tected vehicle up ahead in your lane is mov-
ing m uch more slowly than you are or if it
brakes sharply. When t his war ning is given,
it may on ly be possible to avoid a collision
by swerving or braking sharply. The indicat or
light
I and indic ator in t he display w ill warn
you about t he danger ¢ fig . 12 0. You will al-
so hear an acoustic signal.
If you do not react fast enough or do not react
at all to th e situat ion, Braking guard will in-
t ervene by braking and t he message
