Error  message 
Aud i pre  sense:  Unavailable 
Preventative  passenger  protection  is not  availa
ble.  Drive  to  your  authorized  Audi dealer  or au
thorized  Audi  Service  Facility  immediately to  have 
the  malfunction  corrected. 
A WARNING 
= 
Pre  sense  cannot  overcome  natural  phys ica l 
laws . It  is a  system  designed  to  assist  and  it 
cannot  prevent  a  collision . Do  not  let  the  in
creased  safety  provided  tempt  you into  taking 
risks.  This  could increase  your  risk  of a  colli
sion. 
- The  system  can  dep loy incorrectly . 
- Please  note  that  the  sensors  do  not  always 
detect  all  objects . This  increases  the risk  of 
a  collision. 
- Pre  sense  does not  react  to people  or  ani
mals  or  objects  that  are  crossing  the  vehi
cle's  path  or  are  difficu lt to  detect 
.:>page 79. 
-Reflective  objects  such  as guard  ra ils  or the 
entrance  to  a  tunnel,  heavy  rain  and  ice can 
affect  the function  of the  radar  sensors  and 
the  system's  ability  to  detect  a  collision  risk. 
(D Note 
The sensors  can  be  displaced  by impacts  or 
damage  to  the  bumper,  wheel  housing and 
un derbody.  Pre  sense  can  be impaired  by this. 
Have  an  authorized  Audi  dealer or authorized 
Audi  Service  Facility  check  their  function . 
(D Tips 
-Certain  pre  sense  front  functions  switch  off 
when  sport  mode  is switched  off  or when 
driving  in  reverse.  ..,.
