Audi Q3: Limitations
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise assist
Fig. 95 Example: vehicle changing lanes and stationary vehicle
Fig. 96 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise assist
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by applying
the brakes.
- If a vehicle that was already detected 1 turns
or changes lanes, the adaptive cruise assist will
react to the vehicle ahead of it 2.
- When driving into a curve
fig. 96 and out of a
curve, the system may react to a vehicle in the
neighboring lane and apply the brakes. You can
override the system by pressing the accelerator
pedal briefly.
- The system works with the various sensors and
cameras in the vehicle. Vehicles can only be detected
once they are within the area and range
covered by the sensors.
- When driving around tight curves, a vehicle
driving ahead that was previously detected may
no longer be detected, and the adaptive cruise
assist may accelerate unexpectedly.
- The system does not react to a stationary vehicle
in the same lane if it expects that you can
easily drive around the stationary vehicle by
turning the steering wheel.
- The system cannot react to stationary objects,
such as vehicles at the end of a traffic jam, especially
when traveling at high speeds.
- The system has a limited ability to detect
vehicles that are a short distance ahead, off to
the side of your vehicle, or moving into your
lane.
- Objects that are difficult to detect, such as motorcycles,
vehicles with high ground clearance,
or vehicles with an overhanging load, may be
detected late or not detected at all.
- The system does not respond to people, animals,
or objects that are crossing or approaching
from the opposite direction.
WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras.
