Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Within the limits of the system, the Audi pre
sense functions can initiate measures in certain
driving situations to protect the vehicle occu-
pants and other road users. Depending on the ve-
hicle equipment, various Audi pre sense systems
may
be installed:
— Audi pre sense basic can react during emergen-
cy and dangerous braking maneuvers and un-
stable driving situations (such as oversteering
or understeering).
— Audi pre sense front!) can detect an impending
frontal impact and react with warnings, braking
interventions, and preemptive safety measures
for the vehicle occupants.
— Audi pre sense rear monitors the rear traffic
behind your vehicle and can react to an impend-
ing rear impact.
— Audi pre sense side can detect an impending
side impact from cross-traffic and vehicles com-
ing from the side, and can initiate preemptive
safety measures.
— The swerve assist can assist you during a
swerving maneuver if it is detected as critical
based on the steering movements.
— The turn assist can detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane and react with braking maneuvers.

(i) Tips
— Depending on the risk situation that is de-
tected and the selected Audi drive select*
mode, not all preemptive safety measures
may be initiated under certain circumstan-
ces. Certain functions can be adjusted or
skipped if necessary.
— Audi pre sense may be restricted or unavail-
able under certain circumstances, for exam-
ple if:
— There are passengers with unfastened
safety belts
— It has only been several seconds since the
ignition was switched on The fq indicator
light turns on

Audi pre sense basic
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
Audi pre sense basic is automatically active at
speeds of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and
higher. Audi pre sense basic can trigger the Audi
pre sense preemptive safety measures during
emergency braking and dangerous braking ma-
neuvers as well as in unstable driving situations,
such as oversteering or understeering.

ZA\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front
The Audi pre sense front uses the data from the
camera and calculates the probability of a rear-
end collision. Within the limits of the system, an
impending frontal impact with vehicles, pedes-
trians), or cyclists!) may be detected in both ur-
ban and rural speed ranges.
Audi pre sense front is active at speeds of approx-
imately 6 mph (10 km/h) and higher. It can react
to pedestrians” or cyclists) at speeds up to ap-
proximately 50 mph (85 km/h), and can react to
vehicles at speeds up to approximately 155 mph
(250 km/h).
Early warning/acute warning
The system can recognize various dangerous sit-
uations. The early warning occurs if:
—Avehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly
— Your own vehicle approaches a vehicle in front
of you that is traveling at a significantly slower
speed or that is stationary
—A pedestrian or cyclist!) is standing in the lane
or is moving into the lane
The message Audi pre sense [and a warning
tone will warn you about the danger.
The brakes may also be applied as an acute warn-
ing when there is an impending collision. You will
also be warned by an indicator in the instrument
cluster display. When this warning occurs, it may
only be possible to avoid a collision by swerving
or braking strongly.
Automatic deceleration
If you do not react to the acute warning, Audi pre
sense front can brake the vehicle to a full stop
within the limits of the system ). This reduces
the vehicle speed in the event of a collision.
D_ This is not available in some countries.
Automatic braking force increase
If Audi pre sense determines that you are not
braking strongly enough when a collision is immi-
nent, it can increase the braking force based on
the
situation.
Take-over
If the message Go Please take over! appears, the
vehicle has been braked to a stop by Audi pre
sense and you must resume control of the vehi-
cle.
Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Audi pre sense front cannot overcome natu-
ral physical laws. It is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision in ev-
ery circumstance. The driver must always in-
tervene. The driver is always responsible 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.
— Audi pre sense front does not react to cer-
tain objects, such as animals, crossing or on-
coming vehicles, bars, railings, or railcars.
— Audi pre sense front may be limited or un-
available when driving in curves.
—In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
trailer can be different than usual during au-
tomatic braking.
G@) Tips
Keep in mind that Audi pre sense front can ap-
ply the brakes unexpectedly. Always secure
any cargo or objects that you are transporting
to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

G) Tips
—The side area * > page 124, fig. 96 is de-
tected and evaluated when passing. There
may have been changes to the surrounding
area after switching the ignition off and on
again, after opening the doors, or if the ve-
hicle is left stationary for a period of time.
In this case, the area will appear black until
the area has been detected and evaluated.
— If the distance to an obstacle remains con-
stant, the volume of the distance warning
gradually lowers after a few seconds until it
is muted (this does not apply to the continu-
ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than
it was before the sound was muted, the
tone will sound again. If the obstacle be-
comes farther away than it was before the
sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay
attention to the vehicle's surroundings
when you start to drive.

detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's
surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.
©) Note
— The orange orientation lines @) show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
G) Tips
— Applies to: vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces on the camera display decreases
when the vehicle is raised or lowered with
the air suspension.
— There is no distance warning for the rear
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is
detected. The front sensors remain activat-
ed. The visual display switches to trailer
mode. The rearview camera image will not
show the orientation lines and the blue sur-
faces. There is no guarantee the functions
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch.
