Audi A3  Driver assistance  Driver assist systems  Audi pre sense basic
Pre sense basic functions are activated at speeds above 30 km/h.
The system can activate the following functions in certain situations:
  • Seat belt tensioning (e.g. during hard braking): The seat belts on the front seats have reversible tensioners. Provided an accident does not occur, the belts are loosened again slightly and kept ready for activation.
  • Windows and sun roof* automatic close function (e.g. during understeer or oversteer): The sun roof* is closed completely but a small gap is left when the windows are closed.
Audi drive select: the activation threshold is different in dynamic mode.
WARNING!
The protection provided by pre sense basic is still subject to the prevailing physical limits. It is a driver assist function and cannot prevent a collision on its own. Do not let the extra safety provided tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents.
  • Due to inherent system limitations, false activation of the system is possible.
Note
  • Certain pre sense basic functions are deactivated when the ESC sport mode is switched on and when reversing.
  • The functions of the pre sense basic system may also be unavailable if a fault develops in the ESC system or airbag control unit.
  • For pre sense basic, please note that if the front passenger's airbag has been deactivated, the reversible belt tensioner on the passenger's side will be deactivated as well.
