Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to : vehicles wi th Aud i pre sense
Within the limits of the system, the pre sense
funct ions can initiate measures i n pa rtic ularly
dangerous situations to protect the vehicle pas-
sengers a nd other road use rs. ..,.
117

Ass is tan ce sys tems
-Due to the interlinking of various vehicle sys­
tems, critica l driving situations can be detected
by
pr e se nse basic and measures for preventa­
tive occupant protection are can be initiated.
- The
pre sen se fro nt system uses the data from
the adapt ive cruise control* radar sensors and
the camera to calculate the probability of a col­ lis ion. Within the limits of the system, an im­
pending collision with vehicles can be detected
i n both urban and rural speed ranges. In this
case, the system warns the dr iver visually,
acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if nec­
essary.
If needed, it can initiate a pa rtial or fu ll
deceleration to reduce the co llision speed or to
avoid the collision under certain circumstances .
In conjunction with pre sense basic/rear, the
front safety belts are also reversibly tensioned
when needed. The pre sense front is also active
when adapt ive cruise control* is switched off.
- Pre se nse re ar contains pre sense basic func­
tions. It uses the data from the side assist" ra­
dar sensors and calculates within the limits of
the system the probab ility of a rear end coll i­
s ion with the vehicle behind you . Pre sense rear
is also active when s ide assist* is swit ched off.
- Within the limits of the system,
pre sense city
uses the camera data and ca n detect a n im­
pending coll ision with veh icles and pedest rians.
In this case, the system warns the driver vis ual­
ly, acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if
necessary. If needed, it can initiate a fu ll decel­
eration to reduce the co llision speed or to avoid
the coll is ion under certain circumstances. In
conjunction w ith pre sense bas ic/rear, the front
safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned when
needed .
.8. WARNING
Read the general informat ion in~ .& in Gen­
eral information on page 108, ~.& in Gener­
al information on page 127.
- Certain pre sense functions switch off when
driving in reverse.
1> Th is is not availab le in some co untr ies.
118
- The p re sense f unct ions may not be availa ­
ble if there is a malfunction in the ESC sys­
tem o r the a irbag control module .
- Note that the reversible belt tensioner on
the front passenger's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
- Switch the pre sense off when you are not
using public streets or when load ing the ve­
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, tra in, sh ip or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre­
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.
