Driver assistance                                                                                                                

  • Parking assist with parking system plus. In the area captured by the ultrasonic sensors, park assist helps find a suitable on-street parking space. The system calculates the best parking path for bay parking spaces (forwards and backwards), and the best parking and exiting paths for kerbside parking spaces. Through precise steering manoeuvres, the system supports you when entering or exiting parking spaces. The driver simply needs to follow the instructions on the display, change gear, accelerate, brake and monitor the entire parking process. The system even assists with parking in several moves. The visual display can, based on the steering angle, warn the driver of any obstacles at the side by showing the path. The function is activated via the park assist button on the centre console
  • Cruise control – works at speeds above approximately 18mph
  • Camera based traffic sign recognition - Detects speed limits, no overtaking and temporary speed displays within the system's field of vision. Within the system limits, the system recognises the beginning and end of highways, motorways, localities and Traffic-calmed areas. In addition, a situation-dependent assessment in wet, fog, time-of-day speed limits, construction sites and trailer operation can be carried out. In addition, speed limits are evaluated and provided with the help of navigation data. A personalisable speed warning can be activated, which gives a visual warning if the currently permitted speed is exceeded
  • Hill-hold assist – keeps the car stationary once it comes to a stop on uphill and downhill gradients. Remains activated for an unlimited length of time and allows the driver to pull away smoothly
  • Audi pre sense front - Within system limits, Audi pre sense front scans the area in front of the vehicle using the front radar and provides the driver with visual and acoustic warnings of any potentially hazardous situation due to stationary vehicles or vehicles travelling ahead. If the driver does not react, the system gives a brief jolt of the brakes to regain the driver’s attention. If there is still no reaction, Audi pre sense front performs automatic full braking within system limits. This helps to reduce the severity of the collision or avoid it altogether
  • Pedestrian and cyclist detection¹ registers, within system limits, if a pedestrian or cyclist is moving on the road or crossing it. The system then warns the driver with an acoustic and visual signal. At the same time, the system prepares for possible full braking and, if it should become necessary, initiates automated emergency braking to prevent a collision as far as possible or reduce its severity
  • Lane departure warning - The lane departure warning helps to avoid unintentionally leaving the lane within the system limits. If the system is activated and ready and the driver has not set a turn signal, the lane departure warning helps by corrective steering interventions to avoid crossing recognized lane boundary lines. Additional steering wheel vibration can be set at the driver's request. Functional range from approx. 37mph
  • Collision avoidance assistant - In an evasive situation that is recognised as critical, the evasive assistant can help the driver to steer the vehicle around an obstacle. If the driver actively evades the obstacle after the acute warning, the assistant supports the driver by specifically braking the wheels and applying a low steering torque correction of the steering lock. When starting off or when driving slowly, the turning assistant can assist the driver by braking so that the vehicle does not collide with an oncoming vehicle when turning left. The function is only available when the turn signal is set within the system limits.
