Assistance systems64
You sit at the wheel.
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.

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.
Audi lane assist* supports you when travelling at speeds
from about 60 to 250 km/h if you inadvertently drift out of
your chosen lane. When the lane markings are crossed, the
steering wheel vibrates to give the driver a warning. If the
indicator has been activated, there is no warning. The timing
of the warning and the strength of the vibration can be
selected individually to one of 3 levels in the MMI.
