<strong>Audi</strong> pre sense<br />

an emergency,<br />

a second is<br />

0.9 seconds too long.<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> pre sense.<br />

The <strong>Audi</strong> <strong>A7</strong> <strong>Sportback</strong> and <strong>S7</strong> <strong>Sportback</strong> do not<br />

only come with many new technical innovations<br />

but also, on request, with something extra<br />

special: a sort of sixth sense – or <strong>Audi</strong> pre sense.<br />

Various vehicle systems are used to categorise<br />

different driving situations and, where necessary,<br />

implement actions for preventive occupant<br />

protection or for collision reduction.<br />

Radar sensors at the front and rear (depending<br />

on the equipment fitted) gauge the area in front<br />

of and behind your vehicle. A video camera also<br />

monitors the road in front of you. It is located<br />

in the area of the interior mirror –the highest<br />

possible point inside the vehicle – and delivers<br />

25 pictures per second with a resolution that<br />

has yet to be matched in the field of automotive<br />

engineering. In addition, the ESC control unit<br />

transmits further data. Using these different<br />

sources of information, <strong>Audi</strong> pre sense can<br />

create a very realistic picture of the vehicle’s<br />

surroundings.<br />

The optional <strong>Audi</strong> pre sense basic includes various<br />

preventive passenger protection systems that are<br />

activated in the event of a critical driving situation.<br />

These include: tensioning of the front seat belts,<br />

activation of the hazard warning system, and<br />

closing of the windows and, if present, the sliding<br />

roof.<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> pre sense front additionally monitors the<br />

traffic ahead via the radar sensors of the optional<br />

adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function.<br />

In critical situations, the <strong>Audi</strong> braking guard<br />

contained with it warns the driver and increases<br />

the braking force if necessary. In extreme cases,<br />

the preventive protection systems are activated.<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> pre sense rear monitors the traffic behind<br />

the vehicle with the help of the rear sensors of<br />

the optional <strong>Audi</strong> side assist.<br />

<strong>Audi</strong> pre sense plus is included if ordering the<br />

optional adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go<br />

function and <strong>Audi</strong> side assist. In addition to the<br />

functions of <strong>Audi</strong> pre sense front, <strong>Audi</strong> pre sense<br />

plus activates the <strong>Audi</strong> braking guard in certain<br />

situations in which a collision is unavoidable and<br />

initiates maximum deceleration to minimise the<br />

impact speed of the crash by up to 40 km/h.
