Audi pre sense
Introduction
App lies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Within the limits of the system, the pre sense
functions can initiate measures in particularly
dangerous situations to protect the vehicle pas
sengers and other road users.
- Due to the interlinking of various vehicle sys
tems, critical driving situations can be detected by
pre sense basic and measures for preventa
t ive occupant protection are can be initiated .
- The
pre sense front system uses the data from
the adaptive cruise control* radar sensors and
the camera to calculate the probability of a col
li sion. Within the limits of
the system, an im
pending collision with vehicles can be detected
in both urban and rural speed ranges. In this
case, the system warns the driver visually,
acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if nec
essary. If needed, it can initiat e a partial or full
deceleration to reduce the collision speed or to
avoid the collision under certain circumstances .
I n conjunction with pre sense basic/rear, the
front safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned
when needed . The pre sense front is also active
when adapt ive cruise control* is switched off .
-Pre sense rear contains pre sense basic func
tions. It uses the data from the side assist* ra
dar sensors and calcu lates withi n the limits of
the system the probability of a rear end coll i
sion with the vehicle beh ind you. Pre sense rear
is also active when side assist* is switched
off.
- Within the limits of the system, pre sense city
uses the camera data and can detect an im
pending collision with vehicles and pedestrians.
In this case, the system warns the dr iver visual
ly, acoustically and with a jerk on the brakes if
necessary. If needed, it can initiate a full decel
eration to reduce the collision speed or to avoid
Assistance systems
the collision under certain circumstances. In
conjunction with pre sense basic/rear, the front
safety belts are a lso reversibly tens ioned when
needed .

(D Tips
- Certain pre sense functions switch off when driving in reverse.
- The pre sense functions may not be availa ble if there is a malfunction in the ESC sys
tem or the airbag 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 a re not
using public streets or when loading the ve
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, tra in, sh ip or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre
vent an undesired inte rvention from
the pre
sense system.
Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to : vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
The pre sense basic functions are activated at a
speed of approx imately 20 mph (30 km/h) or
higher .
The following functions can be triggered under certain conditions within the limits of the sys
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for examp le,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts have reversible belt tensioners . If a collision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to trigger aga in .
- Closing the windows and sunroof* .
