Descr iption
Within the limits of the system, pre sense front
can warn yo u of impending coll is ions and in itiate
the corresponding brak ing maneuvers or the sup­
port ing measures when avoiding a co llision .
If detected in time, the system can rank the dan ­
gerous situation as cr itica l if a vehicle driving
ahead brakes sudden ly, if you r own vehicle is ap­
proaching a s ignificantly s lower vehicle at h igh
speed or when there is an oncom ing vehicle dur­
i ng a tur ning maneuve r.
If detection is not poss ible, then pre sense front
does not react.
Warnings
The system recognizes various dange rous situa ­
tions. The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle d riving ahe ad brakes s udden ly
- yo ur own vehicle approaches a s ignificant ly
s lower veh icle o r st ation ary veh icle in the dire c­
t ion of t ravel
ll Thi s is not availa ble in so m e co untrie s.
A ss istance systems
When this warning occurs, it may on ly be possi ­
ble to avoid a co llision by swerving o r braking
strongly . The message
Audi pre sense.
¢ fig . 113 and a wa rning tone will warn you
about the danger .
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
gerous sit uat ion that was detected by the sys ­
tem, p re sense front provides assistance by ap­
ply ing the b rakes .
If a collision is imminent, the system will first
provide a n
acute warning by braking sharply . You
will a lso warned by an indicato r in the instr ument
cluster
disp lay¢ fig. 113 . If you do not react to
the acute warning, pre sense front can brake w ith
i ncreas ing fo rce wi thin the limits of the
system
1> . Thi s reduces the veh icle speed in the
even t of a co llision . At low vehicle speeds, p re
sense fron t can ini tia te a complete dece le ra tion
shor tly be fore a collision wi th a ve hicle dr iving
ahead
l)_ If pre sense front determi nes that you
are not braking strong ly enough when a co llision
is imminent, it can increase t he b raking force.
T he following fu nctions t rigge r in conjunction
with pre sense basic/rea r at co rresponding vehi ­
cle speeds:
- Reve rsible tens ion ing of the front safety bel ts
- Clos ing the windows and sun roof*
Audi drive select*: depending on the selec ted
mode, the revers ible be lt tensioner and the clos­
i ng of the w indows and s unroof * are not act ive .
Evasive steering support
Evas ive steering s upport helps you to steer the
vehicle a round an obstacle in a crit ica l situat ion.
If you avo id a n obstacle after the acute warning,
then the evasive s teer ing suppo rt ass ists you by
applying sligh t stee ring adjustmen t to correct
yo ur stee ring w heel angle as long as you are ac­
t ive ly s teer ing. Evasive s teer ing su ppo rt i s avai la ­
ble at speeds be tween approx im ately 20 mp h

Audi pre sense city
A ppl ies to: ve hicles w ith Audi p re se nse c ity
D esc ription
Wit hin the limits of the system, pre sense city
can warn you of impending coll is ions w ith
ve hicles and pedestrians and initiate the applica­
b le brak ing maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at speeds of approximate ly 6 mph (10 km/
h) and h igher .
A pedestrian warning can occu r at speeds up to
SO mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warn ings ca n oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h) . A pre
sense city braking maneuver is poss ible at speeds
up to SO mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
The system recogni zes var ious dangerous situa­
tions . The
early warning occurs if:
-a vehicle driving ahead brakes s uddenly
-yo ur own vehicle approaches a significantly
s lower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc ­
t ion of travel
-a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving
into the lane

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 .
