Audi pre sense front
Description
Applies to: veh icles with Audi adaptive cruise control
Within the limits of the system, pre sense front
can warn you of impending collisions and initiate
the corresponding braking maneuvers or the sup­ porting measures when avoiding a collision .
If detected in time, the system can rank the dan­
gerous situation as critical if a vehicle driving
ahead brakes suddenly, if your own vehicle is ap­
proaching a significantly slower vehicle at high
speed or when there is an oncoming vehicle dur­
in g a turning maneuver .
If detection is not possible, then pre sense front
does not react .
Warnings
Applies to: ve hicles with Audi adaptive cruise control

General information
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions . The
early warning occurs if:
-a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
-your own vehicle approaches a significantly
a s lower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc-co
;::; tion of travel. ,....

Assistance systems
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­
ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
strongly. The message
Audi pre sense.
¢ fig. 122 and a warning tone will warn you
about the danger .
If you do not react enough or not at all to a dan­
gerous situation that was detected by the sys­
tem, pre sense front provides assistance by ap­ plying the brakes .
If a collision is imminent, the system will first
provide an
acute warning by braking sharply. You
will also warned by an indicator in the instrument
cluster
display¢ fig. 122. If you do not react to
the acute warning, pre sense front can brake with i ncreasing fo rce within the limits of the
system
1>. This reduces the vehicle speed in the
event of a collision. At low vehicle speeds, pre
sense front can in itiate a complete deceleration
shortly before a collision with a vehicle driving
ahead
l). If pre sense front determines that you
are not braking strongly enough when a collision
is imminent, it can increase the braking force.
T he following functions trigger in conjunction
with pre sense basic/rear at corresponding vehi ­
cle speeds:
-Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts.
-Closing the windows and sunroof* .
-Inflating the side bolsters* on the seat back-
rest .
Audi drive select*: depending on the mode se­ lected, the reversible belt tensioner, the closing
of the w indows and sunroof*, and the inflating of
the side bolsters* on the seat backrest may not be active.
Evasive steering support
Evasive steering support helps you to steer the
vehicle around an obstacle in a critical situation .
If you avo id an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the evasive steer ing support ass ists you by
applying slight stee ring adjustment to correct

Assistance systems
Description
Applies to: vehicl es w ith Aud i drive select
The follow ing systems, among other things, are
influenced by drive select:
Engine and automatic transmission*
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
mat ic transmission* respond more quickly or in a
mo re balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements . In the sporty
Dynamic mode , the
transmission shifts at highe r speed ranges.
Suspension control*
The suspension control* uses sensors to record
information regard ing steering movements ,
braking and acceleration operations by the driv­
er , road surface, driving speed, and load. This
makes it possible to adapt damping to the driv­
ing situation nearly in rea l time. With drive se ­
lect, you can adjust the suspension control to
sporty
( Dynamic ), comfortab le ( Comfort ) or bal­
anced
( Auto ).
Steering
The power steering adapts. Indi rect s teer ing that
moves easily 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
steer ing 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
order to keep the steering effort as min imal as
possible when the driver is maneuvering the vehi­
cle. At low and average speeds, dynamic steer­
ing* additionally provides more responsive steer­
ing performance.
Sport differential*
As a component of the all wheel drive system
(quattro)
~ page 1 SO, the sport differential dis­
tributes the driving power to the rear axle de­
pending on the situation. The distribution of
power varies depending on the selected mode
134
from moderate (Comfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goal is a high level of agility and ability to ac­
ce lerate on curves . The vehicle is very respons ive
to steering.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortable to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode. Adaptive cruise control also
responds to the driving 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.
@ Tips
The S selector lever position automatically en­
gages when the
Dynamic mode is selected .
Selecting the driving mode
Applies to: vehicles with Audi drive se lect
Fig. 135 Center co nsole: controls for drive se lect
.,. Press the left or right a rrow key ~ fig. 135 until
the desired mode appears in the instrument
cluster/ Infotainment system disp lay. Or
.,. Select in the Infotainment system: IMENU j but-
ton
> Vehicle > Audi drive select.
.,. Select and confirm the desired setting.
You can change the driving mode when the vehi­
cle is stationary or while driving. If traffic per­
mits, after changing modes, briefly take your
foot off the accelerator pedal so that the recently
selected mode is also activated for the engine.
