Audi braking guard
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 120 Instr um ent cluster: approach warning
Braking guard uses a radar sensor. It also
functions within the limits of the system
when adapt ive cruise control is switched off.
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 traveling at a
high speed and approaching a vehicle up
ahead that is moving more slowly. 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 . in the display comes on.
- The
approach warning is given when a de-
tected vehicle up ahead in your lane is mov-
ing much 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 brak ing sharply. The indicator
light . and indicator in t he display will
warn you about the danger ¢
fig. 120. You
will also hear an acoustic signal.
If you do not react fast enough or do not react
at all to the situation, Braking guard will in-
te rvene by braking and the message
