Hi! I just received today my new A4 with the adaptative cruise control (I had previously an A4 Premium 2010) and I had a shock when I saw that the increments were 5 km/h up to 80 km/h and then after it's a 10 km/h increment (I mean when you push up the cruise control stick it goes from 100 km/h to 110 km/h and so on...) is it possible to fix it to put it at 1 km/h increment as it was with my A4 2010?

Thanks for your input as this thing really bugs me...

When you first set your speed with adaptive cruise control it will be whatever speed you are at. Further increments will be in 2.5 mph increments or 5 km/h increments. If you hold up the stalk it will start increasing the increments to 5 mph or 10 km/h increments. There is no setting to get it down to single digit speed increments.

At first this bothered me also. Having now used the adaptive cruise control for eight months, this is not a problem. Adaptive cruise control is so different than regular cruise control that when you first get it you don't quite understand how you can use it. The best way I've found to use ACC is to set it slightly faster than the flow of the traffic, and then the adaptive cruise control will be infinitely adjustable as it just sits behind the car in front of you. You really need the single-digit adjustability in regular cruise control to adjust to flow traffic, this no longer is an issue with adaptive control.

At least in the Q7 2.5 mph or 5 km/h adjustability continues all the way to the maximum, just make sure you're not holding the stalk up so that the increments increase to the 5 mph 10 kph increments.

Nope, that's the way it works.

I had adaptative cruise control on my 2 previous Infinitis. They had 1 MPH increments. They also cost less than 1/3 the price of Audis. Probably why I don't have it on my 2011.

Thanks!

I start to get used to the ACC now... you're right when you say it works differently than the other regular CC...
