Applies to AudiTTs: with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system will automatically be activated when the front of the AudiTT collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is raised several centimetres to create an additional crush zone above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system are located in the front bumper. In rare cases, the system can be triggered because the possibility that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled out by the sensors, for example:
- in a collision with a street post,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driving on extremely poor road surfaces.
If the system has been activated, press the bonnet back into its original position ► and have the system serviced by a qualified workshop.
WARNING
-
Never change or replace the bumper or bonnet as a part of tuning measures. This can impair the effectiveness of the pedestrian protection system and invalidate the operating permit for your AudiTT. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage which occurs as a result of failure to comply with these stipulations, and such damage is not covered under warranty.
- False activation of the pedestrian protection system is possible.
