Audi pre sense
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
The pre sense functions can take action to pro
tect the vehicle occupants and other road users in
certain hazardous conditions within the system
limits.
- Because the different on-board systems are
networked,
pre sense basic can detect critical
situations and take preventive action to protect
the occupants.
- The pre sense front uses the data of the radar
sensor to calculate the probability of an
acci
dent
opage
112. It can detect an impending
collision with vehicles or
pedestrians1^
(subject
to general system limitations). In this case, the
system warns the driver visually, acoustically
and,
if necessary, with a short, sharp brake ap
plication.
If necessary, it can initiate a partial or
fuLl
brake application in order to reduce the im
pact speed or, in certain circumstances, to
avoid a collision. In conjunction with pre sense
basic, the reversible tensioners on the front
seat belts are also applied if necessary. Pre
sense front is active even when the adaptive
cruise control* is switched off.
Please observe the general safety warnings
•=>
A in General notes on page 112.
© Note
- Certain pre sense functions are deactivated
when reversing.
- The functions of the pre sense system may
also be unavailable if
a
fault develops in the
ESC
system or airbag control unit.
- Please note that, if the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated, the reversible
belt tensioner on the passenger's side will
be deactivated as
well.
- Switch off pre sense on private roads and
while the vehicle is being loaded onto a car
transporter, train or ferry, etc. This prevents
the pre sense system from taking action in
an inappropriate situation.
Audi pre sense basic
Description
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense basic
The pre sense basic functions are activated at
speeds above approximately 30 km/h.
The system can activate the following functions
in certain situations:
- Seat belt tensioning (e.g. during hard braking):
The seat belts on the front seats have reversi
ble tensioners. Provided an accident does not
occur, the belts are loosened again slightly and
kept ready for activation.
- Initiation of the closure process for the
win
dows and panorama sun roof* (e.g. if the
vehi
cLe understeers or oversteers).

Advance warning/acute warning
The system can give visual and audible warnings
if it detects a dangerous situation. An advance
warning can be given if:
- A vehicle in front brakes suddenly.
- Your own vehicle approaches a stationary
vehi
cle at
a
speed of approx. 30 to 85 km/h.
- Your own vehicLe approaches a much slower ve
hicle travelling in the same direction or
a
sta
tionary vehicle ahead at
a
speed of more than
approx. 30 km/h.
x)
Not available on vehicles for some markets.
- A crossing
pedestrian15
moves into your lane
and you are travelling at a speed of approx. 30
to 65 km/h.
If this warning is given, you may need to take
evasive action or brake hard to avoid a collision.
The driver message Audi pre sense
| Sj
^>Fig.
113
and a warning tone draw your attention to the
danger.
In the event of an impending collision with a ve
hicle,
an acute warning is also given in the form
of
a
brake jolt. If
you
do not respond to the acute
warning,
pre sense front
can,
subject to general
system limitations, apply the brakes with in
creasing brake force, in order to slow the vehicle
down and take the impact out of
a
potential
colli
sion.
Automatic braking
Pre sense front can initiate an automatic brake
application at certain speeds just before a
colli
sion:
- At up to 85 km/h if vehicles are stopped.
- At any speed if moving or stopping vehicles are
detected ahead.
- At up to approx. 65 km/h if pedestrians are
crossing15.
Automatic brake pressure increase
If pre sense front detects
that
you are not brak
ing hard enough in the event of an impending
collision,
it will increase the brake pressure, de
pending on the situation and speed:
- At up to 85 km/h if vehicles are stopped.
- At any speed if moving or stopping vehicles are
detected ahead.
WARNING
The protection provided by pre sense front is
still subject to the prevailing physical limits.
It is a driver assist function and cannot pre
vent
a
collision in every situation. The driver
must always intervene personally. As the driv
er you are always responsible for braking in
good time. Do not let the extra safety

Airbag system

The head-protection airbag system is triggered in
certain types of side collision
^>Fig.
235. Further
airbag systems may also be triggered, depending
on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbag fills
with a propellant gas and covers the entire area
in front of the side windows, including the door
pillars. The head-protection airbag inflates to
soften the impact if an occupant strikes parts of
the interior or objects outside the vehicLe with
their head. By reducing the head impact and re
straining uncontrolled movement of the head,
the airbag also reduces the forces acting on the
neck.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of
a
second).
Important safety notes on the head-
protection airbags
There
are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac
cident.
A WARNING
- It is important to ensure that the area
around the openings for the head-protec
tion airbags remains unobstructed at all
times,
so that the airbags can infLate prop
erly if needed.
- The built-in coat hooks should only be used
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
When using the coat hooks, do not hang the
clothes on coat hangers.
- The space between the passengers and the
head-protection airbags must never be oc
cupied by children, other passengers or
pets.
Passengers should never lean out or
put
a
hand
or
arm out of the window while
the vehicle is in motion.
- Do not move the sun visors out to cover the
side windows if there is anything attached
to them (such as pens or
a
garage door
opener). These objects could cause injury if
the head-protection airbag is triggered.
The sensors for the airbags are Located in
the front doors. You must therefore not
make any modifications to the doors or door
trim (e.g. retrofitting loudspeakers),
as
this
could impair the function of the side air-
bags.
Any damage to the front doors could
Lead to faults in the system. Repairs or any
other work on the front doors must there
fore always be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop.
Sun blinds fitted on the rear doors must not
obstruct or impair the airbags in any way.
If unsuitable accessories are installed near
the head-protection airbag, the protection
afforded by the airbag can be seriously im
paired if the system is triggered. When the
head-protection airbag opens, parts of
these accessories could be thrown into the
vehicle and injure passengers
^>page
340.
Any work involving the head-protection air-
bags,
or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
repairs to the roof liner), must always be
performed by
a
qualified workshop. Other
wise the airbag system may fail to work
properly.

Care of vehicle and cleaning
Care of vehicLe and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicLe. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
Qualified workshops carry stocks of suitable car
care products. PLease
foLLow
the instructions for
use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.
+) For
the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues like insects, bird droppings,
resinous tree sap or road salt are alLowed to re
main on the vehicle, the more damage they can
do to the paintwork. High temperatures (for in
stance in direct sunlight) further intensify the
damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicLe washed thor
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
the operating pressure and the spraying dis
tance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the
seals on the windows, doors, boot lid, bonnet or
panorama sun roof*, or at the tyres, rubber ho
ses,
insulating material, sensors* or camera
len
ses*.
Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-
jet nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows and panorama sun roof*
are closed and that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. Follow the car wash operator's rules
and recommendations, especially if any accesso
ries are attached to your vehicle.
If possibLe use a brushless car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent-
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In
sects,
grease stains and fingerprints are best re
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt-
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro-
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois. •
