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 collision with vehicles ahead and react
with warnings, braking interventions, and pre-
emptive safety measures for the vehicle occu-
pants.
— Audi pre sense city can detect an impending
collision with vehicles and pedestrians 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 and react with braking maneuvers.
Peele ea ey
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
Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 114.
G) Tips
— Depending on the dangerous situation that
is detected and the selected Audi drive se-
lect* mode, all preemptive safety measures
may not be initiated under certain circum-
stances. 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:

PN eye
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. The system can trigger the Audi pre sense
preemptive safety measures during emergency
braking and dangerous braking maneuvers 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 114.
Audi pre sense front
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense front
The Audi pre sense front system uses the data
from the radar sensors and calculates the proba-
bility of a rear-end collision. Within the limits of
the system, an impending collision with the front
of the vehicle can be detected in both urban and
rural speed ranges.
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 significantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc-
tion of travel
The message Audi pre sense [@) or Audi pre
sense wa and a warning tone will warn you about
the danger.
140
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there may also be an acute warning in the form
of sharp braking. 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 can brake the vehicle to a full stop within
the limits of the system if the vehicle is traveling
at low speeds. This reduces the vehicle speed in
the event of a collision.
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.
Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 114.
— 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 people/cyclists, ani-
mals, crossing or oncoming vehicles, bars,
railings, or railcars.
— Audi pre sense front may be limited or un-
available when driving in curves.
— 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 pre sense front functions will switch
off when the ESC is restricted or switched off >

Ne Cea ial
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense city
Audi pre sense city uses data from the camera
and calculates within the limits of the system the
probability of a collision with vehicles and pedes-
trians.
Audi pre sense city is active at speeds of approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h) and higher.
It can warn about pedestrians at speeds up to ap-
proximately 50 mph (85 km/h) and vehicles at
speeds up to approximately 155 mph (250
km/h).
Automatic deceleration is possible at speeds up
to 50 mph (85 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 is standing in the lane or is mov-
ing into the lane
A warning tone and the message Audi pre
sense Bo or Audi pre sense wB (depending on ve-
hicle equipment) will warn you about the danger.
If there is an impending collision with vehicles,
there may also be an acute warning in the form
of sharp braking. 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 can brake the vehicle to a full stop within
the limits of the system if the vehicle is traveling
at low speeds. This reduces the vehicle speed in
the event of a collision.
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.
Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 114.
— Audi pre sense city cannot overcome natural
physical laws. It is a system designed to as-
sist and it cannot prevent a collision in every
circumstance. The driver must always inter-
vene. 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 city does not react to certain
objects, such as animals, crossing or oncom-
ing vehicles, bars, railings, or railcars.
— Audi pre sense city may be limited or un-
available 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.

Fig. 126 Examples: driving situations and exterior mirror
display
General information
Side assist monitors the blind spot and traffic be-
hind your vehicle and provides assistance when
you are changing lanes. If the system detects an
object approaching and classifies it as critical, the
display @ in the exterior mirror on that side of
the vehicle will turn on,
Driving situations
The side assist warning is active at speeds above
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) and can help in
situations such as the following:
@ Your vehicle is being passed. The faster an-
other vehicle approaches from behind, the
sooner the display in the outside mirror will
turn on.
@® There are vehicles traveling in the same direc-
tion as you ina lane adjacent to yours. The
display in the exterior mirror will turn on
143

Driver assistance
when the detected object is in the “blind
spot”, at the latest.
@ You are slowly passing another vehicle. If the
difference in speed between the two vehicles
is less than 9 mph (15 km/h), the display in
the exterior mirror will turn on.
Information stage
If you do not activate a turn signal, the system
will inform you about objects classified as critical
by turning on the display in the respective exteri-
or mirror. The display remains dim in the infor-
mation stage so that you are not distracted while
looking forward.
Warning stage
Once you activate a turn signal, the system will
inform you about objects classified as critical by
turning on the display in the respective exterior
mirror.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the display
may also provide a warning when the turn signal
is not activated: if driver assist systems detect
that your vehicle is about to leave a lane, the dis-
play will blink to warn you about objects classi-
fied as critical. You can also be warned with cor-
rective steering > page 137, Audi active lane as-
sist.
System limitations
The system uses the data from the radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle > page 116,
fig. 107. They are designed to detect the left and
right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are the
normal width. In some situations, the system
may react to vehicles in your own lane or lanes
that are not directly adjacent to yours, or to ob-
jects on the side of the road. In this case, the dis-
play will turn on even though there is no vehicle
in the critical area. These situations may include:
— Driving on the edge of your own lane
— Narrow lanes
— Curves
— High barriers on the side of the road
144
AN WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 114.
— The display may not appear on time when
vehicles are approaching or being passed
very quickly.
G) Tips
— If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor-
rect.

Fig. 129 Center display: distance display
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
Visual warnings
The visual warnings in the center display help you
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate
the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (2) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines 2) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment (8) indicates a
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
148
path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-
cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-
hicle. The collision area has been reached when
the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles
in the collision area, including those outside of
the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-
tinue driving farther.
Audio signals
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig-
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than
