High safety standards
With a thoroughly optimised body design and
comprehensive safety equipment, the new
Audi A4 is able to comply with all current valid
safety standards, throughout the world.
Crash sensors for the front airbags integrated
directly into the bumper bar, improve occu-
pant protection.
Finely-tuned aerodynamics
Despite the greater frontal area and the cool-
ing air current for the air conditioner (stand-
ard), it was possible to improve the C
D
value
by 5 %, in comparison to its predecessor,
to 0.28.
A special feature is the so-called aero-floor,
which provides for optimal airflow on the
underside of the vehicle.
Communication centre on wheels
With regard to infotainment, the new
Audi A4 leaves nothing to be desired.
4 different audio systems, 2 differently config-
ured Navigation systems and a car phone
with voice operation are on offer.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
including brake assistant
For the latest ESP generation, the hydraulic
brake assistant is an integral part of the
standard equipment.
It is intended to assist the driver by automati-
cally increasing the brake pressure during
emergency braking.

Brake assistant
Investigations in accident research have
shown, that the majority of drivers fail to ade-
quately actuate the brakes in an emergency
situation.
This results in insufficient brake pressure
being generated to achieve maximum vehicle
deceleration.
This lengthens the braking distance.During emergency braking, the brake assist-
ant aids the driver by increasing the brake
pressure automatically, to a level exceeding
the locking limit.
The ABS (
A
nti-lock
b
raking
s
ystem) is thus
quickly brought into the operating range,
which enables a maximum vehicle decelera-
tion to be achieved.
Brake servo pressure sensor G294 is used for
detection of emergency braking.
Time [t]
Pressure [p]
For this purpose, the pressure increase gradi-
ent (pressure build-up with respect to time) is
evaluated and, if necessary, the brake assist-
ant is activated.
