Audi Q7: Efficiency assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist
Efficiency assist can assist the driver with predictive
information in order to reduce fuel consumption.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the system
may access data from the navigation system,
the camera behind the windshield, and the radar
sensors.
Adjusting the efficiency assist
You can adjust efficiency assist functions individually.
The settings depend on the vehicle equipment.
- Predictive messages
- Predictive control
Situation symbols
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
symbols may be shown. The symbols indicate the
situation to which the efficiency assist is responding.
Some symbols only appear if Predictive messages
are switched on, and some symbols only appear
if Predictive control is switched on and Audi
adaptive cruise control* is actively regulating the
vehicle.
Slow down (predictive messages only)
Speed limit (example)
Speed limit removed
Exit ahead
Intersection ahead
Traffic circle ahead
(predictive control only) If the
indicator light turns on in green and red, it
is indicating that there is a difference
between the speed limit and the set
speed.
WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras.
Tips
- The functions depend on the navigation data*
being up-to-date and correct identification
by the traffic sign recognition*.
- The system only detects traffic signs that
specify a speed Limit.
- The display in the instrument cluster is
based on the units of measurement used for
speed in the country where the vehicle is being
operated. As a result, a display of 50 in
the instrument cluster can mean either mph
or km/h, depending on the country.
- Except for the road network, which is recorded
in the navigation system's map information,
certain functions may not be available.
- Certain settings are automatically stored
and assigned to the remote control key being
used.
Predictive messages
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist
The symbol appears in the
instrument cluster
display if efficiency assist recommends removing
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Additional symbols that indicate the situation to
which the efficiency assist is reacting are shown
in the Driver assistance display, Situation
symbols.
Requirements
- The cruise control system* or Audi adaptive
cruise control* must not be actively regulating.
- The vehicle speed must be at least 20 mph
(30 km/h).
- The remaining distance until the situation is
reached must be large enough to allow the system
to react to the situation.
- The automatic transmission is not in the "S"
driving program.
Switching predictive messages on or off
You can switch predictive messages on or off. The
possible settings depend on the vehicle equipment.
Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VEHICLE
> Efficiency assist > Predictive messages.
WARNING
- Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras
- Pay attention to traffic and the area around
your vehicle when efficiency assist is switched
on. The driver is always responsible for
assessing the traffic situation.
Tips
- The traffic signs on the road always take priority
over the display. The driver is always
responsible for adhering to the regulations
applicable in the country where the vehicle
is being operated.
- When a route is planned using the navigation
system*, then system displays messages
based on an assumed route. Without
route guidance, the system displays messages
based on an assumed route.
- The wording of the message may vary depending
on the Audi drive select* mode and
the selector lever position that are selected.
