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).

for the Audi braking guard works within
defined detection and range limits that
may prevent the proper detection of oth-
er vehicles.

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.

fic situation and be ready to intervene
and be ready to take complete control
whenever necessary.

ers or tunnel entrances may impair the
