Occupant safety
Passive safety
A new airbagcontrol unit J234 was developed for occupant protec-
tion in the AudiQ7 (type4M). It contains a sensor which measures
rotation about the Z axis. In addition, the airbagcontrol unit J234
now communicates via the FlexRay bus with other control units
such as the ABS control unit J104. The ABScontrol unit J104 thus
receives in real time data on rotation about the Z axis which is
utilised by the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
Depending on country and trim level, pyrotechnic seat belt ten-
sioners can be installed in the 3rd seat row of the AudiQ7 as an
option.
Active safety
Depending on country, 4Audipresensefunctions are optional for
the AudiQ7. In additional to Audi pre sense basic, these are:
• presenserear
• presensefront
• presensecity
Audi pre sense city is able to warn the driver about vehicles and
pedestrians and brake within system limitations. Audipre sense
front brings to the Audi Q7 new functions such as evasion assist
and turn assist.
