High safety standards
With a thoroughly optimised body design and
comprehensive safety equipment, the new
Audi A4 is able to comply with all current valid
safety standards, throughout the world.
Crash sensors for the front airbags integrated
directly into the bumper bar, improve occu-
pant protection.
Finely-tuned aerodynamics
Despite the greater frontal area and the cool-
ing air current for the air conditioner (stand-
ard), it was possible to improve the C
D

value
by 5 %, in comparison to its predecessor,
to 0.28.
A special feature is the so-called aero-floor,
which provides for optimal airflow on the
underside of the vehicle.
Communication centre on wheels
With regard to infotainment, the new
Audi A4 leaves nothing to be desired.
4 different audio systems, 2 differently config-
ured Navigation systems and a car phone
with voice operation are on offer.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
including brake assistant
For the latest ESP generation, the hydraulic
brake assistant is an integral part of the
standard equipment.
It is intended to assist the driver by automati-
cally increasing the brake pressure during
emergency braking.

The system comprises driver/passenger air-
bags, front side airbags, optional rear side
airbags, SIDEGUARDS
®

, three point front seat
belts with ball tensioners and belt force limit-
ers, three point rear outer seat belts, centre
lap belt (for fixed rear seat bench), Isofix pre-
paration in rear of vehicle, and a total of 6
non-central accelerometers:
– 2 front impact crash sensors
– 2 driver/passenger side airbag crash sen-
sors, (in the B-pillar for side impact)
– 2 driver/passenger rear side airbag crash
sensors, (on the C-pillar for side impact) To complement the comprehensive body
modifications, occupant protection has been
improved through the further development of
the familiar 8.4 airbag system.
The new generation bears the designa-
tion 8.4 E, where the E stands for
"extended".
The position of the sensors is selected so that
they are installed as near as possible to the
outer structure of the vehicle.
This enables quicker deceleration detection in
the event of an impact.The external sensors deliver digitised acceler-
ation data to the airbag control unit, which is
then evaluated in the control unit and which
triggers the relevant restraint system compo-
nents.

Crash sensors for front airbag G283, 284
Both sensors for front impact detection func-
tion in conjunction with the crash sensor and
the safe sensor which are integrated into the
airbag control unit J234.

If a certain signal threshold is exceeded in the
front airbag crash sensor, a threshold reduc-
tion is activated in the airbag control unit,
which results in a shorter triggering time.

Re-encoding of the airbag control unit is no
longer possible after the first crash data mes-
sage is stored.
Triggering is performed in two thresholds
depending upon the deceleration value:
– Threshold 1 = belt tensioners only
– Threshold 2 = belt tensioners and airbag(s)
Crash sensors for side airbags
G179, 180, 256, 257
In order to trigger the components of the
restraint system, two simultaneous impact
detection signals are required for the plausi-
bility check:
– from both opposing crash sensors
(B-pillar left with right and/or
(C-pillar left with right) and
– from the control unit internal crash sen-
sors.
The crash sensors are designed in such a way
that incorrect installation is excluded.
Airbag control unit J234
The warning lamp for airbag K75 is activated
continuously following a detected impact.
"CRASH DATA STORED" and the triggered
components are displayed with fault code
during fault memory readout.
Sensors and components to be replaced
following an accident, are listed in the
current workshop manual.

Brake assistant
Investigations in accident research have
shown, that the majority of drivers fail to ade-
quately actuate the brakes in an emergency
situation.
This results in insufficient brake pressure
being generated to achieve maximum vehicle
deceleration.
This lengthens the braking distance.During emergency braking, the brake assist-
ant aids the driver by increasing the brake
pressure automatically, to a level exceeding
the locking limit.
The ABS (
A
nti-lock
b
raking
s
ystem) is thus
quickly brought into the operating range,
which enables a maximum vehicle decelera-
tion to be achieved.
Brake servo pressure sensor G294 is used for
detection of emergency braking.
Time [t]
Pressure [p]

For this purpose, the pressure increase gradi-
ent (pressure build-up with respect to time) is
evaluated and, if necessary, the brake assist-
ant is activated.
