The A4 allroad quattro gives 4 impartial designs.
Assistance structures
Audi gives enormously evolved help structures for the A4 own circle of relatives, for making using even greater relaxed. Standard on all editions is the brand new motive force facts device with spoil recommendation - it detects and attracts the driving force's interest to deviations from common using conduct on the idea of guidance motions and different parameters.
The adaptive cruise manage help device maintains the Audi A4 at a consistent distance from the previous car at speeds among 0 and 2 hundred km/h (124.27 mph). If the chance of a rear-quit collision turns into impending at speeds underneath 30 km/h (18.sixty four mph), the device will execute a complete brake application. Audi lively lane help helps the driving force in preserving to his lane. A digital digicam detects the lane markings and the device makes moderate corrections to the guidance if necessary.
