– The additional functions are designed to as-

sist the driver. As the driver, when you use

the functions you still maintain full respon-

sibility for the operation of the vehicle. This

applies in particular to changing lane, brak-

ing, controlling the vehicle’s speed and

maintaining the distance to other vehicles.

equipment.

the adaptive cruise control functions are unavail-

able or restricted.

If a vehicle is detected in front: The distance is re-

duced to a closer distance than the one set for a

brief period within the limits imposed by the sys-

tem. This makes it easier to merge into another

lane due to your lane ending, for example.

A driver message indicating the cause and possi-

ble remedy may appear for some of the displays.

To display the driver messages again, open the

notification centre on the centre display. The

weather conditions may not be good enough, or a

sensor may be obstructed. Clean the area in front

of the sensors ðpage 133. Try switching on the

system later or after the vehicle is next switched

on.

If there is no vehicle in front: The vehicle acceler-

ates faster and the cruising speed is overridden.

The current set speed may also be exceeded. The

distance regulating function remains active.

If a fault persists, drive to a qualified workshop

soon and have it rectified.

Response when turn signals are on (to

overtake)

If you operate the turn signal and the adaptive

cruise control concludes that you are intending to

perform an overtaking manoeuvre, the system

can accelerate before you change lane and reduce

the distance to the vehicle ahead. This happens

Predictive cruise control

Introduction

The predictive cruise control adapts the cruising

speed of the adaptive cruise control to

ahead.



After regulation for such events is completed, the

adaptive cruise assist accelerates back up to the

generally applicable speed limit or the recom-

mended speed for the road in question.

Intersection

Roundabout

Depending on the equipment in your vehicle, the

system can access data from the navigation sys-

tem, from the camera behind the windscreen and

from the radar sensors.

The exact appearance of the symbol

may vary.

If the symbol appears in green and

white, a stop sign has been detected

but no stop line has been recognised.

You must apply the brakes yourself.

Requirements

In the Driver assist menu , you can select

ðpage 134 whether adaptation to speed limits

should be performed automatically or whether

the driver must confirm this manually for each

event.

– At least one predictive cruise control function

must be switched on in the Driver assist menu

 ðpage 134.

– To confirm adaptation to a detected speed limit

and accept it manually, pull the control lever

ðpage 152, Fig. 97 towards you briefly in the

direction of the arrow .

– The adaptive cruise assist must be actively reg-

ulating the vehicle's speed ðpage 152.

– Within the limits imposed by the system, it

may occasionally not be possible to react to cer-

tain speed limits.

Overriding the predictive control

– The map material on the navigation system

must be updated regularly to ensure the sys-

tem can function without limitations

ðpage 211.

You can override the predictive control at any

time by pressing the accelerator. In addition, the

control lever ðpage 152, Fig. 98 can be used to

adapt the speed limit control response.

Event symbols

The predictive control is interrupted if you make

a significant change to the speed limit control re-

sponse. The adaptive cruise assist then regulates

the speed to match the manually set value.

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, event

symbols may indicate what the predictive cruise

control is reacting to:

er's responsibility to assess the traffic situa-

tion and take appropriate care – risk of acci-

dent!

– The set speed is adjusted when a speed limit is

detected even when the adaptive cruise control

is not actively regulating the speed.

– The system does not give way to priority

traffic and does not stop at traffic lights –

risk of accident!

– When the recuperation function is active, the

actual road speed may occasionally exceed or

fall below the set speed.

– The speed at which the system drives the ve-

hicle through a corner may not correspond

to your own driving style or ambient condi-

tions. To avoid a risk of accident, apply the

brakes manually as necessary, and reduce

the speed setting in Adaptation to route

– The system’s control response depends on the

driving characteristics set for the adaptive

cruise assist and/or (on vehicles with Audi drive

select) the selected mode.

– After the vehicle is switched on, a speed of

130 km/h is set automatically when the vehi-

road, provided that no speed limits are detec-

You can switch the predictive cruise control

– If a speed above 130 km/h has been set by

the driver on motorways or similar roads, the

vehicle will accelerate back up to this set speed

after regulation for a specific event has been

completed.

The adaptation according to speed limits can be

switched on or off. The optional control setting

Adjust with tolerance can also be applied. In this

case, the actual speed can be above or below the

preset speed briefly for increased efficiency. This

may result in a delay in observing the speed limit.

– The system will only regulate the speed at mo-

torway junctions or on slip roads if these are

part of the route set in the route guidance.

– If incorrect values are supplied by the camera-

based traffic sign recognition or if the map ma-

terial on the navigation system is incorrect or

out of date, this can cause failures or implausi-

bilities in the control response.

Adaptation to route ahead

The adaptation according to the route ahead can

be switched on or off. This setting affects the

handling characteristics of the predictive control

and you can also set how fast the vehicle will

drive through corners.

– While route guidance is active on the naviga-

tion system, the control uses the navigation

route as a reference. Implausibilities in the con-

trol response can occur when route guidance is

inactive or if you leave the route.

Adaptation to right of way

The regulation for right of way that takes e.g. de-

tected stop signs into account, can be switched

on/off.
