Assistance systems
- When approaching stationary obstacles
such as stopped traffic, adaptive cruise con-
trol will respond with limited function.
- Adaptive cruise control does not respond to
people, anima ls, or crossing or oncoming
objects.
- The function of the radar sensors can be af-
fected by reflective objects such as guard
rails, the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain or
ice.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody . This can impair the adaptive
cruise control. Have an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
@ Tips
For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see

Fig. 96 Example: driving into a curve
When driving into a curve ¢ fig. 96 and out of a
curve, the adaptive cruise control may react to a
vehicle in the neighboring lane and apply the
brakes. You can prevent that by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal briefly.

Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can react to stationary vehicles ¢
fig. 97,
as long as you are driving slower than 30 mph
(SO km/h) and the system classifies the possible
passing maneuver as low. For example, if a vehi-
cle that was already detected
(D turns or changes
lanes, the adaptive cruise cont rol reacts to the
stationary vehicle ahead of it @ .
