Audi Q7: Adjusting adaptive cruise control

Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise control

You can adjust the system individually. The settings depend on the vehicle equipment.

• Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: VEHICLE > Driver assistance > > Audi adaptive cruise control.

Possible settings:

Lane guidance - If lane guidance is also active when adaptive cruise assist control is active, you can switch it on or off.

Driving program - Depending on the driving program and the distance that are set, the vehicle handling will be adjusted from Sport to Moderate and the lane guidance haptic feedback will be adjusted.

Store last distance - The last distance that was set will be stored after the ignition is switched off. If the distance is not stored, distance (time distance of approximately 1.8 seconds) is automatically preset every time the ignition is switched on.

Predictive control > Set speed limit - adaptation to speed limits can be switched On or Off. Regulation With tolerance can also be selected, if desired.

In this scenario, you may fall below or exceed the set speed in favor of increased efficiency.

Predictive control > Adjustment to curves along route - Adjustment based on the road ahead can be adjusted. The setting influences vehicle handling with predictive control, for example the speed for driving through curves.
