adaptive cruise control including Audi pre sense front*:
The automatic distance control detects vehicles ahead by
means of a r
adar sensor. Within the system limits, the
vehicle brakes and accelerates automatically, keeping a
constant distance to the traffic ahead. If the system detects
a potential collision – for example in stop-and-go traffic or
when there is a danger of a traffic jam – adaptive cruise
control can even bring your vehicle to a complete standstill
at speeds under 30 km/h.
Audi active lane assist* with lane centre guide supports you
when tr
avelling at speeds of around 60 km/h to a maximum
speed of 250 km/h for instance by applying a gentle
corrective steering movement and warns you through
steering wheel vibration. There are two respective system
settings for you to choose from in the optional MMI (steering
point early or late). In conjunction with MMI navigation plus
with MMI touch, you also have an additional camera-based
recognition of traffic signs feature which displays traffic
signs showing a speed limit clearly and in colour via the
driver information system.
Most road accidents are caused by human error. Modern assistance systems can help to
reduce their severity. 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 Audi connect allows you
to connect some of the assistance systems with GPS navigation data even when route
guidance is switched off. Linking the optional adaptive light with variable headlight range
control and camera-based recognition of traffic signs assistance systems with GPS data
from your environment means they can provide more anticipatory support.
