not cause the adaptive cruise control to
switc h off .
- After switching on t he ignit ion, the system
initially adjusts to a speed of 80 mph
(130 km/h) when driving onto highways
without a speed limit. Then the system ad-
justs to the last speed stored by the driver.
- There is no adaptation to speed li mits when
driving thro ugh highway interchanges and
when driving on or off the expressway.
- There is no pred ictive control at speed limits
under 20 mph (30 km/h).
- If a speed li mit is only detected by the cam-
era and the actua l speed is significantly
higher, then the speed limit will blink in the
display unt il you have reached the requ ired
speed

- Incorrect values from the camera-based
traffic sign recogn ition* or outdated naviga-
tion system map data can lead to incorrect
or implausible contro l.
- When route guidance is switched on, the
system adapts to the route provided by the
navigation system. Driving w ithout route
guidance or leaving a route can result in im-
plau sible cont rol.
- The system switches off when outside of a
road system th at is recorded in t he naviga-
tion system map data.

Audi adaptive cruise
control
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 94 Detect ion range
The adaptive cruise cont rol system is a comb ina-
t ion of speed and dist ance regulation .
It assists
t he driver by bot h regulating t he speed and
maintain ing a distance to the vehicle driv ing
ahead, within the limits of the system.
If the sys-
tem detects a vehicle driving ahead, the adaptive
cruise contro l can brake and accelerate your vehi-
cle. This makes driving more comfortable both
on long stretches of highway and in stop -and-go
traffic.
What can adapti ve cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video, ra-
dar, ultrasound and navigation data . Vehicles
driv ing ahead can be recognized up to 650 ft
(200 m) away.
Predictive functions offer the driver additional
comfort and contr ibute to the reduct ion in fuel
consumption and
