General information
At speeds above approximately 40 mph (65
km/h), this function measures the distance to
the vehicle traveling ahead as a time interval, as
long as the adaptive cruise assist is not actively
regulating. If the distance falls below the warn-
ing threshold and remains there, the system will
warn you of the hazard with the indicator
light.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.
