Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: ve hicles w ith Audi p re se nse
W ith in the limits of the system, the pre sense
functions can in it iate measures in particularly
dangerous s ituat ions to protect the ve hicle pas ­
sengers and ot her r oad users.
- Due to the interl ink ing of various vehicle sys­
tems , crit ica l dr iv ing s ituat ions can be detected
by
pr e s ense basic and measu res fo r preventa­
t ive occ upan t protect ion are can be initiated.
- T he
pre sen se front system uses the data from
t h e adapt ive cr uise control* radar sensors and
t h e camera to calc ulate the probab ility of a col ­
lision . 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 initiate a partial or fu ll
deceleration to reduce the collision speed or to
avo id the co llision unde r ce rtain c ircumstances .
In conjunct ion with p re sense basi c/rear, the
front safety belts are also revers ibly tensioned
whe n needed. The pre sense front is also act ive
when adaptive cruise control* is switched o ff.
- Pr e se nse rear con tains pre sense basic func ­
tions. It uses the data from the side assist* ra­
dar sensors and calc ulates within the limits of
the system the probability of a rear end colli ­
sion with the vehicle behind you . Pre sense rear
is also active when s ide assist* is switched off .
112
-Within the limits of the system, pre sen se cit y
uses the camera data and can detect an im ­
pending collision with vehicles and pedestrians .
In this case, the system warns the driver visual­ ly, acoustical ly and w it h a jerk on the brakes if
necessary . If needed, it ca n initiate a full dece l­
erat ion to reduce t he coll is ion speed or to avoid
the collision under certa in circumstances . In
conjunction with p re sense basi c/rear, the front
safety belts are a lso reve rsibly te nsioned whe n
needed.
& WARNING
Read the genera l information inc::> .&. in Gen ­
eral information on page 103,
~ .&. in Gener ­
al information on page 122.
(D Tips
- C erta in p re sense funct io ns sw itch off when
driving in reve rse.
- Th e pre sense f unct io ns m ay no t be ava ila ­
ble i f th ere is a ma lfunct ion in the ESC sys ­
tem or t he airbag control module .
-Note that the reve rsib le belt tens ione r o n
the front passenger 's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivated.
- Switch the pre sense off when yo u are not
using public streets or when loading the ve ­
hicle onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship or
other type of transportat ion. This can pre­
vent an undesired intervention from the pre
sense system.
Audi pre sense basic
App lies to: vehicles wit h Audi pre sense basic
The pre se nse bas ic functions are activated at a
speed of approx imately 20 mp h (30 km/h) o r
highe r.
The following functions ca n be triggered u nder
certain co nd it io ns w it hi n the lim its of the sys­
tem:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for examp le,
during heavy brak ing) : the front safety belts
have reversible belt te nsioners . If a collision
does not occur , the safety belts loosen slig htly
and are ready to tr igger aga in.

Audi active lane assist
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi active lane assist
Active lane assist (lane departure warning) de­
tects lane marker lines within the limits of the
system using a camera in the windshield. If you
are approaching a detected lane marker line and
it appears likely that you will leave the lane, the
system will warn you with corrective stee ring .
You can override this steering at any time . If you
pass over a line, the steering wheel will vibrate
lightly . In order for this warning vibration to oc ­
cur, it must first be switched on in the Infotain­
ment system. Active lane assist is ready for oper­
ation when the lane marker line is detected on at
least one side of the vehicle.
The system is designed for driving on express­
ways and highways and therefore only activates
at speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/
h).
Applies to: veh icles w ith side assist: if you acti­
vate a turn signal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­
ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer­
ing shortly before you leave the lane. This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to: veh icles w it h out s ide ass ist: the ready
system does not warn you if you activate a turn
signal before crossing the lane marker line. In
this case, it assumes that you are changing lanes
intentionally.
Applies to: vehicles with adaptive cruise control:
there is no corrective steering or warnings if the
syst em recognizes a distinct passing maneuver.
If the conditions are met, traffic jam assist
switches on at speeds under approximately
40 mph (65 km/h)
¢ page 109 .
Assistance systems
A WARNING
--
-The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steering .
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can help you keep the vehicle in
the lane, but it does not drive by itself. Al­
ways keep your hands on the steering
wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking.
- There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines. Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected.
- Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines. As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur.
- The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray or light shining into the
camera. This can result in active lane assist
not detecting the lane marker lines or de­
tecting them incorrectly .
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch from an "early" to
"late" steering correction.
- Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steering alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, active lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the
potential for hydroplaning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.

Assistance systems
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode , the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator peda l
movements. In the sporty
Dynamic mode, the
transmission shifts at higher speed ranges.
Air suspension*
The air suspension* is an electronically-control ­
led air suspension and damping system. The
ad­
justment depends on the driving mode selected,
steering movements, the driver's braking and
ac­
celeration, and as the road surface, vehicle speed
and load. The veh icle ground clearance depends
on the mode selected and the speed .
The ground clearance increases significantly
when the vehicle is in the
Allroad mode . At
speeds from approximate ly SO mph (80 km/h) to
75 mph (120 km/h), the ground clearance
re­
duces in stages . When the speed decreases, the
ground clearance increases aga in automat ically .
The ground clearance is the lowest in
Dynamic
mode.
Suspension control*
The suspension control* uses sensors to record
information regard ing steering movements,
braking and acceleration operations by the driv­
er, road surface, dr iv in g speed, and load. This
makes it possible to adapt damping to the driv­
ing situation near ly in rea l time. With drive
se ­
lect, you can adjust the suspension contro l to be
sporty
( Dynamic ), comfortab le (C omfort ) or bal­
anced
(A uto ).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Ind irect steer ing that
moves easi ly as in
Comfort mode is especia lly
suited to long drives on highways. The
Dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
The following applies to vehicles with dynamic
steering* : the steering ratio changes based on
vehicle speed in order to maintain optimum
steering effort for the driver at all times . This
sets the steering to be less sensitive at higher
speeds in order to prov ide improved vehicle con­
trol. At reduced speeds, steering is more direct in
126
order to keep the steering effort as minima l as
possible when the driver is maneuvering the ve hi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steer ­
i ng* addit iona lly prov ides more respons ive steer­
i ng performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all whee l drive system
(quattro)
r=!> page 144, the sport differentia l dis ­
tributes the driving power to the rear axle
de­
pending on the s ituation. The distr ibut ion of
power varies depending on the selected mode
from moderate
(C omfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goal is a high level of ag ility and ability to ac­
celer ate on curves. The vehicle is very respons ive
to stee ring.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior whe n accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the drive select mode . Adaptive cruise control also
r esponds to the driv in g behavior of the vehicle
ahead in a more conservative or sporty manner.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
@ Note
Applies to: vehicles with a ir suspension
- Make sure there is enough clearance above
and below the vehicle when pa rking. Th e
height of the vehicle (ground clearance) can
change once it is parked due to temperature
fluctuations, changes to the load conditions
and changes to the driving modes.
- When transporting the vehicle on a car
car­
rier, train, ship or by other means, only tie
the vehicle down at the running sur face of
the tires, which is the outer c ircumference.
Securing the vehicle at the axle compo­
nents, suspension struts or tow ing eyes is
not perm itted because the pressure in the
air suspens ion struts can change during
transport. The vehicle may not be secured
sufficiently if this happens .
