make objects in the mirror appear smaller
and farther away. Your may estimate incor ­
rectly when you use these mirrors to gauge
your distance from the vehicles behind you
when changing lanes, which increases the risk of an accident .
Q) Note
- Applies to vehicles with power folding exte­
rior mirrors: if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must use the pow­
er folding function to fold the mirror all the
way out. The mirrors will make a loud noise
when they latch into place. The mirror hous­
ing must not be moved back into place by
hand because this would impair the func­
tion of the mirror mechanism.
-Applies to vehicles without power folding
exterior mirrors: if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must move it back
in place by hand.
- If you wash
th@ vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power controls.
{!) Tips
-If the power adjusting function malfunc­
tions, the glass in both mirrors can be ad­
justed by pressing on the edge of it by hand.
- The exterior mirror settings are stored with
the memory function*

A WARNING ,-
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory sys­
tem. If there is contact with the fluid, flush
immediately with plenty of water. Consult a
physician if necessary .
- Repeated or long -term exposure to electro­
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air­
ways, especially in people with asthma or
other respiratory conditions. Take deep
breaths immediately after leaving the vehi­
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors and windows as wide as possible.
- If electrolyte fluid enters the eyes, flush
them thoroughly with a large amount of
clean water for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical attention.
- If electrolyte fluid comes into contact w ith
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
with soap and water and seek medical at­
tention . Clean affected clothing and shoes
thoroughly before wearing again.
- If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, flush the mouth with water for at least 15 minutes . Do not induce vomiting
unless this is recommended by medical pro­
fessionals . Seek medical attention immedi­
ately .
0 Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces and paint . Clean

Audi pre sense front
Description
Applies to: veh icles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Within the limits of the system, pre sense front
can warn you of impending collisions and initiate
the corresponding braking maneuvers or the sup­ porting measures when avoiding a collision .
If detected in time, the system can rank the dan­
gerous situation as critical if a vehicle driving
ahead brakes suddenly, if your own vehicle is ap­
proaching a significantly slower vehicle at high
speed or when there is an oncoming vehicle dur­
in g a turning maneuver .
If detection is not possible, then pre sense front
does not react .
Warnings
Applies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Fig. 122 In strument cluste r: approac h warning
General information
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions . The
early warning occurs if:
-a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
-your own vehicle approaches a significantly
a s lower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc-co
;::; tion of travel. ,....

Assistance systems
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­
ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
strongly. The message
Audi pre sense.
¢ fig. 122 and a warning tone will warn you
about the danger .
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
gerous situation that was detected by the sys­
tem, pre sense front provides assistance by ap­ plying the brakes .
If a collision is imminent, the system will first
provide an
acute warning by braking sharply. You
will also warned by an indicator in the instrument
cluster
display¢ fig. 122. If you do not react to
the acute warning, pre sense front can brake with i ncreasing fo rce within the limits of the
system
1>. This reduces the vehicle speed in the
event of a collision. At low vehicle speeds, pre
sense front can in itiate a complete deceleration
shortly before a collision with a vehicle driving
ahead
l). If pre sense front determines that you
are not braking strongly enough when a collision
is imminent, it can increase the braking force.
T he following functions trigger in conjunction
with pre sense basic/rear at corresponding vehi ­
cle speeds:
-Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts.
-Closing the windows and sunroof* .
-Inflating the side bolsters* on the seat back-
rest .
Audi drive select*: depending on the mode se­ lected, the reversible belt tensioner, the closing
of the w indows and sunroof*, and the inflating of
the side bolsters* on the seat backrest may not be active.
Evasive steering support
Evasive steering support helps you to steer the
vehicle around an obstacle in a critical situation .
If you avo id an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the evasive steer ing support ass ists you by
applying slight stee ring adjustment to correct
