Audi pre sense city
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense city
Description
Within the limits of the system, pre sense city
can warn you of impending collisions with
vehicles and pedestrians and initiate the applica­
ble braking maneuver if needed. Pre sense city is
active at speeds of approximately 6 mph (10 km/
h) and higher.
A pedestrian warning can occur at speeds up to
SO mph (85 km/h), and vehicle warnings can oc­
cur at speeds up to 155 mph (250 km/h). A pre
sense city braking maneuver is possible at speeds up to SO mph (85 km/h).
Warnings
The system recognizes various dangerous situa­
tions. The
early warning occurs if:
- a vehicle driving ahead brakes suddenly,
- your own vehicle approaches a significantly
slower vehicle or stationary vehicle in the direc­
tion of travel.
- a pedestrian is standing in the lane or is moving
into the lane .
When this warning occurs, it may only be possi­ ble to avoid a collision by swerving or braking
strongly. The message
Audi pre sense.
r:=;, page 113, fig. 108 and a warning tone will
warn you about the danger .
Assistance systems
Additionally, a jerk on the brakes may occur as an
acute warning when there is an impending colli­
sion. If you do not react to the acute warning, pre
sense city can brake to the point of complete de­
celeration within the limits of the system. This
reduces the vehicle speed in the event of a colli ­
sion. The message
Audi pre sense. also ap­
pears.
The following functions are triggered in conjunc­
tion with pre sense basic/rear:
- Reversible tensioning of the front safety belts.
- Closing the windows and sunroof*.
- Inflating the side bolsters* in the seat backrest
and seat surface.
Audi drive select*: the function is not active de­ pending on the mode selected.
_&. WARNING
- Pre sense city cannot overcome the laws of
physics.
It is a system designed to assist and
it cannot prevent a collision in every circum­
stance. The driver must always intervene.
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.
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits .
- To reduce the risk of an accident, please
note that the camera does not always detect
every object.
- Pre sense city does not react to animals,
crossing or oncoming vehicles, objects such
as bars, railings or railcars, and objects that
are difficult to detect
r:=;, _& in General infor­
mation on page 103.
- In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
trailer can be different than usual during au­
tomatic braking.
_&. WARNING
Pre sense city may be restricted or not availa­
ble in the following example situations:
- in heavy fog, rain, spray or snow
- when there are visual obstructions, such as
glare, reflections or variations in light

@ Note
Impacts or damage to the camera mount on
the windshield can disp lace the sensor . Pre
sense city can be impa ired by this. Have an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i Serv­
ice Facility check the ir funct ion.
(D Tips
- You can cancel the system braking interven ­
tion if you accelerate considerably or swerve
away .
- Keep in m ind that pre sense city can brake
unexpected ly. Always secure any cargo or
objects that you are transport ing to reduce
the r isk of damage or injur y.
- Specific pre sense city funct ions sw itch off
when the ESC is limited o r switched off

¢ fig. 112 . If a lane change is classif ied as cr iti­
ca l, the display @in the exterior mirror turns on
¢fig. 113.
The display in the left exterior mirror provides as­
s istance when making a lane change to the left,
while the display in the right exterior m irror pro­
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right.
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
s ide assist
informs you about vehicles that are
detected and classified as critical. The display in
the mirror turns on, but is dim.
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur­
bed.
Warning stage
If the display in a mirror blinks brightly when you
activate a turn signal, side assist is
warning you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as
critica l. If this happens, check traffic by glancing
in the exterior m irrors and over your shoulder
¢ .& in General information on page 121 .
Applies to: vehicles with active lane assist: the
display in the m irror can a lso b link if you have not
activated a turn signal: if you are approaching a
detected lane marker line and it appears you will be leaving the lane, side assist will warn you
about detected vehicles that it has classified as
critical.

blind spot.
T he disp lay w ill not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side assist has detected (the differ­ ence in speed is greater than approximate ly 9
mph (15 km/h)) .
Functional limitat ions
T he radar sensors are des igned to de tec t t he lef t
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the normal width . In some situations, the display
in the exte rior mirror may turn on even though
there is no veh icle located in the area that is criti­
ca l for a lane change. For example :
- If the lanes are narrow or if you are dr iving on
the edge of your lane. If t his is the case, the
system may have detected a vehicle in another
lane that is
not adjacent to your current lane .
- If you are d riving through a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is in the same lane
or one lane over from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
roads ide str uctures like guard rails).
- In poor weather conditions. The side assist
functions are limited.

:E ' Air suspension *
The air suspension* is an electronically-control­
l ed air suspension and damping sys tem . The ad ­
justment depends on the driving mode selected, steering movements, the driver's braking and ac­
celerat ion, and as the road surface, vehicle speed
and load. The veh icle ground clearance depends
on the mode selected and the speed.
The ground clearance increases s ignificantly
when the vehicle is in the
All road mode . At
speeds from approximate ly 50 mph (80 km/h) to
75 mph (120 km/h), the ground clearance re­
duces in stages . When the speed decreases, the
g round clea rance increases again a utomat ically.
The ground clearance is the lowest in
Dynamic
mode.
Steering
The power steering adapts. Ind irect steer ing that
moves easily as in
Comfort mode is especia lly
suited to long drives on highways. The
Dynam ic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
All-wheel steer ing*
All-wheel steer ing increases dr iving comfort by
providing add it ional steering ability at the rear
axle. Steer ing in the opposite d irection at low
speeds dec reases the turning rad ius. Steering in
the same d irect io n a t high speeds imp roves the
r e sponse t ime whi le increas ing dr iv ing stab ility at
the same time .
Sport differential*
As a componen t of the all wheel d rive system
(quattro)

tr ib utes the dr iv ing power to the rear ax le de­
pending on the situa tion. The dis tribution of
power var ies dependi ng on the selected mode
from moderate
(Comfort ) to sporty (Dynamic ).
The goa l is a high level of agility and ability to ac ­
celerate on curves . The veh icle is very responsive
to steer ing.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)*
The behavior when accelerating can be adjusted
from comfortab le to sporty, depending on the
drive select mode . Adaptive cru ise control a lso
A ssi st a nce systems
responds to the driv ing behavior of the vehicle

T he eng ine sound adap ts to the c urren t mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
(D Note
Applies to: vehicles with air suspensio n
-Make sure there is enough clearance above
and below the vehicle when pa rk ing. The
height of the ve hicle (gro und clea rance) can
change once it is par ked due to temperature
fluctuations, changes to the load conditions
and changes to the dr iving modes.
- When transporting the vehicle on a car car ­
r ier, train, ship or by other means, o nly tie
the vehicle down at the runn ing s urface of
the ti res, which is the outer c ircumference.
Sec uring the vehicle at the axle compo­
