Function B
System characteristics of the turn assist function
• Turn assist is available only at speeds below 10 kph.
• The indicators must be activated.
• In the case of right-hand-drive vehicles, the system only works
when turning left.
• In the case of left-hand-drive vehicles, the system only works
when turning right.
• This is indicated audibly and visually.
Deactivating turn assist
If Audipresense is switched o in the MMI, turning assist is not
available. The system can be reactivated in the MMI. Depending on
country version 1), a deactivated Audipresense system (and thus
turn assist) is automatically re-activated when the ignition is
turned o and on again.

Audi pre sense
The driver of vehicle (E) wants to turn right and indicates by actu-
ating the left indicator. Vehicle (E) is travelling slower than 10 kph.
As mentioned initially, Audi pre sense front continuously monitors
the trac ahead of the vehicle with the aid of ACC and the front
camera. As a result, Audipresensefront knows that another
vehicle (A) is approaching in the oncoming direction.
Audipresensefront also knows that the driver is planning to turn
left (from the actuation of the indicator).
In this case, Audipresensefront would automatically initiate
emergency braking by the ABScontrol unit J104 with the result
that vehicle (E) is brought to a halt in its own lane. The driver is
alerted visually and audibly to the fact that the vehicle is braking
automatically
1)
. If the vehicle has automatically brought the
vehicle to a halt without driver input, further audible signals will
sound. These signals alert the driver to the fact that he/she must
actively take control of the vehicle (e.g. by braking).
If Audipresense detects that a critical situation would occur due
to the current turning manoeuvre, hydraulic brake assist is recon-
figured for the ABScontrol unit J104. In addition, the deployment
algorithms for hydraulic brake assist are adjusted. This action
ensures the rapid response of the brake during a braking manoeu-
vre. If the driver of vehicle (E) were now to continue the turning
manoeuvre and move o, Audi pre sense front would detect this
based on the information provided by the speed sensors of
ABScontrol unit J104.
In the AudiQ7 Audipresensefront has been to upgraded include
turn assist. In the following example it is assumed that the trac
situation involves vehicles driving right-hand side of the road.
In a driving situation involving vehicles driving left-hand side of the
road turn assist helps to driver to turn right.
