Warnings
App lies to vehicles: with Audi pre sense fro nt or Audi
adaptive cruise control
Fig. 80 Instrument cluster: approach warning
The system recognizes various dangerous sit-
uations:
- Vehicles with adaptive cruise control : The
distance warning occurs if you drive too
closely to the object ahead for a long period
of time. If the object ahead brakes strongly,
you would not be able to avoid a collision.
The ind icato r light .
ind icates this.
- The approach warning occurs when an ob-
ject ahead is traveling more slowly or brakes
strongly. When this warning occurs, it may
only be possible to avoid a collision by
swerving or braking strongly. The message

warning tone will warn you about the dan-
ger. For vehicles with adaptive cruise con-

indicator light also turns on.
If you do not react enough or not at all to a
dangerous s ituation that was detected by the
system, pre sense front provides assistance by
applying the brakes .
- If a collision is imminent, the system will
first provide an acute warning by braking
sharply. You will also be made aware of the
danger by the instrument cluster display

- At low driving speeds, pre sense front can
begin complete deceleration shortly before

- If pre sense front determines that you are
not braking strongly enough when a colli-
sion is imminent, it can increase the braking
force.
A
WARNING
--
- Pre sense front cannot overcome natural
physical laws.
It
is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision .
The driver must always intervene. The
driver is always responsible for braking
at the correct t ime. Do not let the in-
creased 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 .
- Please note that the sensor does not al-
ways detect all objects . This increases
the risk of a collision.
- Pre sense front does not react to people
or animals or objects that are crossing
the vehicle's path or are difficult to de-
tect

- Reflective objects such as guard rails or
the entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and
ice can affect the function of the radar
sensor and the system's ability to detect
a collision risk .
- Lack of attention can cause collisions,
other accidents and serious personal in-
juries. The pre sense front is an assist
system and cannot prevent a coll is ion by
itself. The driver must always intervene.
The driver is always responsib le for brak-
ing at the correct time .
- Always pay close attention to traffic,
even when the pre sense front is switch-
ed on. Be ready to intervene and be ready
