Driver assistance
—Audi pre sense front cannot overcome natu-
ral physical laws. It is a system designed to
assist and it cannot prevent a collision in ev-
ery circumstance. The driver must always in-
tervene. The driver is always responsible for
braking in a timely manner. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into
taking risks. This could increase your risk of
a collision.
— Among other things, Audi pre sense front
does not react to cyclists, pedestrians who
are stationary, stopped, crossing at an angle
toward your vehicle, groups of
pedestrians, animals, crossing vehicles, on-
coming vehicles, or objects, such as posts,
guardrails, and railway vehicles.
—Audi pre sense front may be limited or un-
available in curves or when it is dark.
—Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an
accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
Make sure that each person in the vehicle
has their safety belt fastened correctly and
follows the instructions for proper seating
© page 61.
—In trailer mode, the braking behavior of the
vehicle and trailer may be different than
usual during automatic braking.
If you switch off the ESC, Audi pre sense also
switches off automatically.

be initiated if the risk of a collision with the vehi-
cle behind you is detected.

ing!) to your preference (Early/Medium/Late) or
switch the prewarning off.

desired intervention from the Audi pre
sense system.
