Cruise Control

This electronic aid keeps the car moving at a constant speed, reducing stress on the driver particularly where speed limits must be observed, when towing a trailer, and on long trips.

cruise control
monitors distance to the vehicle in front via radar sensors and automatically reduces speed as well as resumes speed to maintain the driver-selected safe distance. Should there be a risk of a collision, Audi braking guard offers a two-stage alert as well as preparing the braking system in the event full braking force is required. Once the appropriate gap has been established or the vehicle is no longer in front, the system resumes its normal preset speed.
