adaptive cruise control with full braking action under
30km/h:* automatic distance control (control range
30–200km/h); working within system limits, it uses a radar
sensor to detect vehicles ahead and maintain this distance by
automatic braking and accelerating; 4 distance levels and
different driving modes can be selected individually; includ-
ing Audi pre sense front: the Audi braking guard warns the
driver about a detected imminent collision with the vehicle in
front through an extended brake assist feature; also includes
the function of maximum deceleration: this is initiated at
speeds below 30 km/h if there is a danger of collision with a
stationary or moving vehicle in order to avoid this collision
if possible.

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 are
closely networked, which increases their
intelligence, versatility and performance. With
the help of these systems, your journey will
be safer and more relaxed.

Audi active lane assist*: lane compliance assistant, helps the driver within system limits to keep comfortably in lane
(operating range 60–250 km/h). If the system is activated/ready and the driver has not operated the indicators, the Audi
active lane assist will guide the vehicle within recognised lane boundary lines by means of gentle, corrective steering
intervention; the driver can choose whether to be monitored continuously or just shortly before crossing the traffic lane
marker (choice of earlier or later steering time); additional steering vibration can be adjusted if the driver wishes

Audi side assist*: lane change assistant, working within
system limits at speeds of 30 km/h and above, the system
uses radar technology to monitor the area on the left, right
and behind the moving vehicle and informs or warns the
driver by means of an LED display in the exterior mirror if the
Audi side assist has detected another vehicle assessed as
critical for lane-changing
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.
