The new Audi A7 Sportback does not only come
with many new technical innovations but also,
upon request, with something extra special: a
sort of sixth sense – or Audi pre sense. Various
vehicle systems categorise different driving
situations and, where necessary, implement
actions for preventive occupant protection or
for collision reduction.
Radar sensors are fitted at the front and rear (de-
pending on the equipment) and gauge the area in
front of and behind your Audi A7 Sportback. A
video camera also monitors the road in front of you.
This is located in the area of the internal mirror –
the
highest possible point inside the vehicle – and
delivers 25 pictures per second
with a resolution
that has yet to be matched in the field of auto-
motive engineering. In addition, the ESP control
unit transmits further data. Using these different
sources of information, Audi pre sense can create a
very realistic picture of the vehicle’s surroundings.
Audi pre sense basic includes various preventative
passenger protection systems
that are activated
in the event of a critical driving situation.
They
include tensioning of the front seat belts, activa-
tion of the hazard warning system and closing of
the windows and, if present, the sliding roof.
Audi pre sense front additionally mon itors the
traffic ahead via the radar sensors of the optional
adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go function. In
critical situations, the Audi braking guard con-
tained with it warns the driver and if necessary in-
creases the braking power. In extreme cases, the
preventative protection systems are activated.
Audi pre sense rear monitors the traffic behind
the vehicle with the help of the
rear sensors of
the optional Audi side assist.
Audi pre
sense plus is included if ordering the op-
tional adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go func-
tion and Audi side assist. In addition to the func-
tions of Audi pre sense front, Audi pre sense plus
activates the Audi braking guard in certain situa-
tions when a collision is unavoidable and initiates
a full braking action to minimise the severity of
the crash as much as possible.
