Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
The pre sense functions can take action to protect 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 accident link► . 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 application. If necessary, it can initiate a partial or full brake application in order to reduce the impact 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.
WARNING
Please observe the general safety warnings ►.
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.
