Just curious but have you read your owners manual? It seem these days that most new car owners rarely read their owners manual. I've tried many times to get my wife to read the owners manual for the Lexus ES350 I gave her soon after I retired. Has that happened nooooo!!!
Anyway, good luck on your A6 and enjoy. A comment on the following "distance" settings for the ACC. The 4 different settings are really following time settings. That means the actual distance will increase as the speed increases for each setting. So it is not a fixed a distance but a fixed time. The manual will tell you what the following time is for each setting.

I agree... My wife has yet to read a new car manual.

jr's--Good Point. It's time and that's important in separation, because the faster you are going the more distance you want--and that's established by keeping you some seconds behind the car you're following.

I think I read in the owners manual that there should be a vibration in the wheel as a warning you are drifting to close to the line, but I haven't noticed that. Has anybody enabled that?

Make sure it is active... On the end of the turn signal stalk is the button to activate/deactivate the system. I deactivated it by accident. The system notification is on the very top of the dash display... Shows either yellow roadway lines; not active or green roadway lines; active. Also only works when traveling over 40MPH.

Not only is there a vibration but it actually pulls away from the line. It is a very odd feeling until you get used to it.

Overall I am very happy that I opted to include this package. I think its a great safety feature.
