Driver assistance
– The map content of the navigation system*
must be updated regularly in order for the sys-
tem to work without restrictions ðpage 199.
– The adaptive cruise control is only an assist
system, and the driver is still responsible for
controlling the vehicle. The driver is espe-
cially responsible for braking, steering, and
maintaining the distance to other vehicles.
Overriding control
You can override the predictive control based on
the route ahead at any time by pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. If the system changes the vehicle
speed to adapt to speed limits, you can change
the speed using the lever ðpage 139, fig. 113.
Tips
– Always keep your hands on the steering
wheel so you can be ready to steer at any
time. The driver is always responsible for
adhering to the regulations applicable in
the country where the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
Setting predictive control
You can turn the predictive control on or off and
adjust its settings in the Driver assistance menu
under Audi adaptive cruise control ðpage 125.
The settings depend on the vehicle equipment.
– The intervention requests may be accompa-
nied by additional audio or visual signals,
depending on the situation.
Set speed limit – adaptation to speed limits can
be turned On or Off. Regulation With tolerance
can also be selected, if desired. In this scenario,
you may fall below or exceed the set speed in fa-
vor of increased efficiency.
Predictive control
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive cruise control and pre-
dictive control
General information
Adjustment to curves along route – Adjustment
based on the curves along the route can be ad-
justed. The setting influences vehicle handling
with predictive control, for example the speed for
driving through curves.
With predictive control, efficiency assist adapts
the set speed in adaptive cruise control
1
ðpage 138, fig. 110 based on detected speed
limits and the upcoming route. Once the system
no longer detects any relevant conditions ahead,
adaptive cruise control will accelerate back up to
the last speed that you set. After turning on the
ignition, the availability of predictive control is
indicated by a message when the adaptive cruise
control is first activated.
Messages
If
and a message with Predictive control is
displayed when there is a malfunction, the effi-
ciency assist functions are unavailable or limited.
A message that indicates the cause and possible
solution may appear with some displays. The
weather conditions may be too poor or a sensor
may be obstructed. Clean the area in front of the
sensors ðpage 124 and try to turn the system on
again later.
Incident symbols indicate the situation to which
predictive control is reacting ðpage 136, Situa-
tion symbols.
Requirements
– At least one predictive control is turned on in
the Driver assistance menu under Audi adap-
tive cruise control ðpage 125.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
– Adaptive cruise control is actively regulating
ðpage 139.
– The system can only respond to speed limits
1)
that are 15 mph (20 km/h) or higher
1)
Analog instrument cluster: 20 mph (30 km/h)
