App lies to: vehicles with Audi pre se nse
Pre sense can initiate steps to protect vehicle oc-
cupants in certain dangerous situations. The
functions described are available depending on
veh icle equipment:
Pre sense basic*
The following functions can be triggered in cer-
tain driving situations:
- Tensioning of the safety belts (for example,
during heavy braking): the front safety belts
have reversible belt tensioners. If a collision
does not occur, the safety belts loosen slightly
and are ready to trigger again.
- Closing the windows and the sunroof* (for ex-
ample, when
over- or understeering): the win-
dows and the sunroof* close until there is only
a small gap open.
The function of the pre sense basic is activated at
a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or higher.

A WARNING
Pre sense cannot overcome natural physical
laws. It is a system designed to assist and it
cannot prevent a collision . Do not let the in-
creased safety provided tempt you into taking
risks. This could increase your risk of a colli-
sion.
- The system can dep loy incorrectly .
- Please note that the sensors do not always
detect all objects . This increases the risk of
a collision .
- Pre sense does not react to people or ani-
mals or objects that are crossing the vehi-
cle's path or are difficult to detect
c:> page 89.
- Reflective objects such as guard rails or the
entrance to a tunnel, heavy rain and ice can
affect the function of the radar sensors and
the system's ability to detect a collision risk.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. Pre sense can be impaired by this .
Have an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility check their function .
{!) Tips
- Certain pre sense front functions sw itch off
when sport mode is switched off or when
