Audi Q7: Swerve assist
Applies to: vehicles with swerve assist
The swerve assist can help you to steer the vehicle
around an obstacle detected in a critical area.
If you avoid an obstacle after the acute warning,
then the swerve assist assists you by applying
slight steering adjustment to correct your steering
wheel angle as long as you are actively steering.
Swerve assist is available at speeds between
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and 90 mph
(150 km/h).
WARNING
- Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and cameras.
- Swerve assist does not react to pedestrians,
animals, crossing objects, and objects not
detected as vehicles.
Tips
- System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or switched off, or if there is a
malfunction.
- An indicator in the instrument cluster will
inform you when there is an intervention.
Turn assist
Applies to: vehicles with turn assist
When turning left, turn assist can help to reduce
the risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle
by using braking action to keep your vehicle
in its lane. The function is only available when
the turn signal is turned on and at speeds up to
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
WARNING
- Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras.
- The turn assist does not react to pedestrians,
animals, crossing objects, and objects
not detected as vehicles.
Tips
- System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or switched off, or if there is a
malfunction.
- An indicator in the instrument cluster will
inform you when there is an intervention.
Adjusting Audi pre sense
Applies to: vehicles with Audi pre sense
You can switch Audi pre sense and the associated
systems on or off, or adjust them individually.
The possible settings depend on the vehicle
equipment.
- Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VEHICLE
> Driver assistance > > Audi pre sense.
Setting the prewarning
You can adjust the warning time for the prewarning
to your preference (Early/Medium/Late) or
switch the prewarning off.
Set the warning time for the early warning to
Early at first. If you feel that the prewarnings appear
too early, then set the warning time to Medium.
The Late warning time should only be set
in special circumstances.
Tips
- If Audi pre sense is switched off, it switches
on again automatically once the ignition is
switched on again.
- Switch Audi pre sense off when you are not
using public streets, when loading the vehicle
onto a vehicle carrier, train, ship, or other
type of transportation, or when towing
the vehicle. This can help to prevent an undesired
intervention from the Audi pre
sense system.
Messages

malfunction,
the Audi pre sense functions may be unavailable
