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 city and Audi pre sense front
can detect an impending frontal impact and re-
act with warnings, braking interventions, and
preemptive safety measures for the vehicle oc-
cupants.
— Audi pre sense rear monitors the rear traffic
behind your vehicle and can react to an impend-
ing rear impact.
— The swerve assist can help you to steer the ve-
hicle around an obstacle during an evasive ma-
neuver that is detected as critical.
— The turn assist can detect vehicles in the oppo-
site lane as critical during a turning maneuver
and react with braking maneuvers.
Audi pre sense safety measures
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
Depending on the vehicle speed and the vehicle
equipment, the following functions may be initi-
ated in certain situations:
— Visual and audio warnings
— Reversible tensioning of safety belts
— Closing the windows and panoramic glass roof
— Adjusting the seats
— Other preemptive safety measures by individual
systems

ZA\ WARNING
Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
G) 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 also be limited or un-
available under certain circumstances, for
example if:

— There are passengers with unfastened
safety belts
— After turning on the ignition, as long as
the FJ or indicator light is on.
— When driving in reverse.
— The front passenger's airbag is switched
off
— There is an airbag control module mal-
function

increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk of
a collision.
— Audi pre sense city does not react to certain
objects, such as animals, crossing or oncom-
ing vehicles, bars, railings, or railcars.
— Audi pre sense may be limited or unavailable
in curves or when it is dark.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while

driving.

G) Tips
Certain system functions may not be available
if the ESC is limited or switched off
=> page 114, if there is a malfunction, or if the
hill hold assist* is switched on > page 108.
ON eee Reels
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front
Audi pre sense front provides the same scope of
functions as Audi pre sense city, with a few ex-
ceptions > page 144. The system has an exten-
sive field of view due to additional sensors that
are installed. Because of this, vehicles that are
braking or traveling significantly more slowly can
be detected earlier and more clearly, depending
on the limits of the system.
The following features apply to Audi pre sense
front:
— Automatic braking interventions are available
at vehicle speeds up to approximately 155 mph
(250 km/h)
—The system does not detect pedestrians

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions > A\ in Audi
pre sense city on page 144.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— Audi pre sense front does not react to cer-
tain objects, such as pedestrians, animals,

crossing or oncoming vehicles, bars, railings,
or railcars.
ONT eee
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense rear

Within the limits of the system, Audi pre sense
rear uses data from radar sensors at the rear cor-
ners of the vehicle and calculates the probability
of a rear-end collision with the vehicle behind
you.
Audi pre sense preemptive safety measures can
be initiated if the risk of a collision with the vehi-
cle behind you is detected.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 117.
— Audi pre sense rear does not react to pedes-
trians, animals, crossing objects, and ob-
jects not detected as vehicles.
G) Tips
Audi pre sense rear functions may also switch
off if there is a malfunction in the side assist
system.
Rati
Applies to: vehicles with swerve assist

The swerve assist can help you to steer the vehi-
cle around an obstacle detected in a critical area.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the swerve assist assists you by applying
slight steering adjustment to correct your steer-
ing wheel angle as long as you are actively steer-
ing. Swerve assist is available at speeds between
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph
(150 km/h).

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and

cameras > page 117. >

Parking and maneuvering

Symbols
Applies to: vehicles with peripheral cameras
If 2/€9/< is displayed and the display area
represented by that symbol is not available, then
the camera on the that side is not available. The
power exterior mirrors may have been folded in
or a door or the luggage compartment lid may
have been opened.
If # is displayed, there is a system malfunction
and the display area represented by that symbol
is not available. The camera is not working in this

cameras > page 117.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which

the surrounding area cannot be detected.

C) 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.

Assisted parking
(ee eile laced)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist, this
system helps you find suitable parking spaces.
Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic
sensors on the sides of the vehicle.
The system helps you to park while the driver
monitors the vehicle's surroundings with the
parking aids, cameras*, and direct eye contact.
The vehicle moves the steering wheel autono-
mously.

— The park assist is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist to drive into or out
of a parking space, the steering wheel turns

space is 3 mph (5 km/h).
> Follow the visual instructions in the display and
the warning tones until the vehicle has finished
exiting the parking space.
>» The process of exiting the parking space has
ended if additional corrective movements are
no longer necessary and the specified steering
wheel angle is sufficient to drive out of the
parking space. Resume control of the steering
wheel >@).


G) Tips
You can also cancel the driving direction set
by the system by shifting between a forward
gear and reverse gear. Based on the position
of the vehicle, the system then calculates the
additional steering and driving directions for
maneuvering.
