54 Assistance systems
You sit at the wheel.
adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function (including
Audi pre sense front)*: The automatic distance control uses
radar sensors, a video camera and the sensors from the
parking system to monitor the area around the vehicle.
Within system limits, the vehicle brakes and accelerates
automatically, keeping the distance set by the driver to the
traffic ahead constant. In slow-moving traffic or in a traffic
jam, system-controlled braking to a stop and automatic
restart at driver’s request are possible.
Most road accidents are caused by human error. In many cases, the results of accidents
can be reduced by modern assistance systems. Audi puts various different technologies to
work to help you reach your destination safely. The assistance systems work closely
together, which increases their versatility and performance – and makes your trip more
comfortable at the same time.
To help you relax on the way to your destination, the optional MMI navigation plus with
MMI touch allows you to connect some of the assistance systems with GPS navigation data
even when route guidance is switched off. Linking the adaptive cruise control, camera-
based speed limit display, and adaptive light with variable headlight range control
assistance systems with GPS data from your environment means they can provide more
anticipatory support.

Audi active lane assist* helps to keep you in lane when
travelling at speeds from about 60 to 250 km/h for instance
by applying a gentle corrective steering movement. There are
two respective system settings for you to choose from in the
MMI (steering point early or late).
Please note: The systems can only work within system limits. They can be
of assistance, but drivers are still required to be attentive at all times.
* Optional equipment.
Audi side assist (including Audi pre sense rear)*: The lane change assistant
helps you to change lanes. From a speed of about 30 km/h, it monitors the area
alongside and behind the vehicle. Radar sensors at the rear detect any vehicles
that may be in the blind spot or approaching quickly from behind. If Audi side
assist deems that a detected vehicle will compromise a lane change, it signals
this by means of an LED display on the corresponding exterior mirror.
