(30 km/h) and 90 mph (150 km/h).
Tu rn assist
When start ing to drive and up to speeds of maxi
mum
6 mph (10 km/h), the turn assist uses a
braking intervention to prevent your vehicle from
colliding with an oncoming vehicle when turning
left or right (available in certain countries). The
braking intervent ion causes your vehicle to stay
in its lane.
A WARNING
-Pre sense front cannot overcome the laws of
physics.
It is a system des igned to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum
stance. The driver must always i ntervene.
T he driver is always responsib le for braking
at the correct time. Do not let the increased
safety provided tempt you into taking risks .
This could increase your risk of a collision.
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits .
- Please note that the sensors and the camera
do not always detect all objects or lane
markings. This increases the risk of an acci
dent.
- Pre sense front does not react to people, an
imals or ob jects that are crossing the veh i
cle's path or that are difficu lt to
detect¢ .&.
in General information on page 109.
-Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the fu nction of the radar sensors and
the system's ability to detect a coll is ion risk .
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody. Pre sense front can be impa ired
by this. Have an authorized Aud i dealer or au
thorized Audi Service Fac ility check their func
