Parking system plus
Using data captured by the ultrasonic sensors integrated into the bumpers, the front and rear acoustic and visual parking system assists the driver with entering and exiting parking spaces and with manoeuvring. Based on the steering angle and direction of travel, the distance to detected objects is shown in a selective, optical display on the MMI screen. Obstacles detected outside the driving path are shown as a white segment. Red segments represent obstacles in the driving path. A virtual driving path display additionally provides guidelines at the sides, which are calculated in advance based on the current steering angle. Activated by selecting reverse gear, via a button on the centre console or automatically as soon as the distance to a detected object is less than approximately 90 cm. Automatic activation can be enabled and disabled.

Adaptive cruise control with speed limiter
Within system limits, adaptive cruise control detects vehicles ahead with the aid of a radar sensor and keeps the set speed and distance to the vehicle in front largely constant within the control range. The speed range within which the system is available is between 0 mph and the top speed. The control range starts at 19mph. In stop-and-go traffic, vehicles can brake to a standstill and start up again automatically. The system is operated by means of a separate steering column stalk. The distance can be adjusted in five stages; the system’s dynamics can be adjusted via Audi drive select or the menu. Above approx. 19mph, the adjustable speed limiter helps the vehicle stay within a previously set maximum speed when driving through built-up areas. The vehicle is slowed gently when the set limit is reached. The driver can operate the accelerator pedal up to the kickdown point without the vehicle accelerating beyond the set speed. The speed limiter can be overridden at any time by kickdown, e.g. for an overtaking manoeuvre, until the vehicle speed drops below the set maximum speed again. Restricting the vehicle speed to a required limit (including active brake intervention) can enhance both driving comfort and driving safety. The system is operated by means of a separate steering column stalk. The set maximum speed and the system status are displayed in the digital instrument cluster. In conjunction with camera-based traffic sign recognition, the speed limiter can automatically set the detected speed limit as the maximum speed if so required.

Adaptive cruise assist with emergency assist
Adaptive cruise assist combines the functionality of adaptive cruise control with active lane assist. Adaptive cruise assist helps the driver accelerate, brake and maintain speed and distance as well as stay in lane. This can increase driving comfort, especially on long journeys. The system maintains the speed and distance to the vehicle in front and conveniently helps the driver to stay in lane by means of corrective steering intervention in the speed range from 0 mph to its top speed. At the same time, the set speed remains constant and the system reacts to vehicles ahead by controlling the distance. The vehicle starts moving again automatically or, after being stationary briefly, its restart is initiated by the driver. Adaptive cruise assist uses the radar sensor built into the front end of the vehicle, the front camera and the ultrasonic sensors to permanently monitor the vehicle’s surroundings. The driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and can deactivate the adaptive cruise assist at any time. In addition, the system is supported by a steering wheel with hands-on-wheel detection, which detects whether the driver has their hands on the steering wheel. In this way, the system checks whether the driver is paying the necessary attention. Emergency assist is an extension of adaptive cruise assist or lane departure warning and detects, within system limits, if the driver is inactive. In such instances, the system provides the driver with a visual, acoustic and haptic warning. If the driver does not respond, the system assumes control of the vehicle, automatically bringing it to a stop in its own lane. The hazard warning lights are activated.

Reversing camera
Within system limits, the reversing camera monitors the area behind the vehicle. The image is depicted depending on steering angle in the MMI display using dynamic display elements. The reversing camera is activated by selecting reverse gear or via a button on the centre console

Please note: The systems work only within system limits and assist the driver. However, the driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and is required to be attentive at all times
