Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense basic or Audi pre
sense front
Within the limits of the system, pre sense ba-
sic and pre sense front can initiate steps to

ous situations.
Critical driving situations can be recognized by
the pre sense front via a network of different
vehicle systems and can take steps to prepare
the vehicle occupants for a potential collision.
The pre sense front works with a radar sensor
and a video camera* .
It
also functions within
the limits of the system when adaptive cruise

basic
Descript ion
Applies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense basic
The function of the pre sense basic is activat-
ed at a speed of 10 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
The following functions can be triggered un-
der certain conditions within the limits of the
system:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for example,
during heavy braking) : The front safety belts
have reversible belt pretensioners. If a colli-
sion does not occur, the safety belts loosen
slightly and are ready to trigger again .
- Closing the windows and the sunroof* (for
example, when over- or understeering): The
windows and the sunroof" close until there
is only a small gap open.
Audi drive select: The deployment time is
adapted in dynamic mode.
A
WARNING
-
The pre sense basic cannot overcome natu-
ral physical laws.
It
is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision. Do
not let the increased safety provided
tempt you into taking risks. This could in-
crease your risk of a collision.
- The system can deploy incorrectly due to
system-specific limits .

Tips
- Certain pre sense basic functions switch
off when ESC is switched off (sport
mode) or when driving in reverse.
- The pre sense basic functions may not be
available if there is a malfunction in the
ESC system or the airbag control mod-
ule .
- Note that with pre sense basic, the rever-
sible safety belt pretensioner on the
front passenger's side deactivates when
the front passenger's airbag is deactivat-
ed.

Description
Applies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense front or Audi
adapt ive cru ise control
Pre sense front informs you if the distance to
the vehicle ahead falls below the safe distance
for an extended period of time. It can warn of
a possible collision and initiate braking ma-
neuvers, within the limits of the system .
When detected in time, the system can assess
dangerous situations where an object ahead
brakes suddenly or if your own vehicle is trav-
eling at a high speed and approaching an ob-
ject that is moving more slow ly. If detection is
not possible, then pre sense front does not re-
act.
