Agree but better than crashing into the car in front. I ordered mine in Panther but didn't want the aluminium bumper and grill accents for £695 when you can get it done for £200 in a local Bodyshop.

The sensor doesn't stop the car crashing into another car. for that, you need two sensors only available on A6 upwards. I think they differentiate by calling it "basic" pre sense.

Panther black - nice, but on an S3? or do you mean when you order the RS3?

 

[Mike Branagan-Harris]

Adaptive cruise and driver assist with active lane and side asst does

 

[woollyjoe]

Sorry - what i meant is the A3 model does not have the ability to stop the car crashing, only to prepare. That function is only available on A6 above.

 

[Mike Branagan-Harris]

It's the same as the system on the basic VW up. That does

 

[Mike Branagan-Harris]

Basic pre sense is the system that pulls the seat belts tight and closes the roof and windows

 

[woollyjoe]

The system on VW's as with the Audi only works below 19mph its not sophisticated enough above that and it doesn't stop crashes but tries to reduce speed. language Audi use for the bigger cars are "stop & go". It will work from motorway speeds to dead stop without driver input. The other thing principally reduces speed and mainly pings a warning.

 

[woollyjoe]

I'm told it is the two sensors that are needed to stop. VW's and Audi's up to A4 have one.

Just sayin, but by all means give it a try

 

[Mike Branagan-Harris]

Most bumps happen below 19mph. The system brakes for you and stops the car. That's all I need. I have side asst and lane asst as a package which gives me free speed limit display.

 

[woollyjoe]

The irony of debating crash prevention below 19mph on an RS3

I still wish Audi would stick the stereo sensors on the A3 making it useful and better cosmetically.

 

[woollyjoe]

about 1.5% of all accidents on roads happen with 20mph. 30mph = 65% all accidents, at least in 2012, and this is the argument for 20mph speed zones.

 

[Mike Branagan-Harris]

Seems pretty good to me - see this

 

[DAYTONA 500]

Ive got it on my S5, the Braking guard part of it is active all the time even without the cruise control being used.

 

[woollyjoe]

Braking guard only happens below 19mph. It uses same sensor as ACC which is why they come together.

video - OMG. if you have ever tried lane assist, it actively switches off if you take your hands off but is completely capable of driving itself. The water bottle is genuis.

 

[T-800]

What happens if that system has a mad glitch of some sort ?

 

[Leeroy37]

Did anyone get a download of that brochure? The link has stopped working

 

[dbm]

Yep, here you go: RS3 Brochure 20/03/2015

 

[Leeroy37]

Nice one, thanks

I have driven Audi's with all these systems on recently and I cantvstand any of them

The braking one is doubly anoying, flashing red warnings at you constantly ...

 

[Leegaryhall]

Anyone else notice the error in the RS3 brochure??
Book states everywhere that car has 367ps right? Well on page 15 (or 16 can't remember) it states 376ps!!!

It's does in my copy anyway...take a look

 

[Kelza]

Page 15 376ps ! Lol

 

[Leegaryhall]

How did that error pass quality control with such a big company like Audi lol...think we ought to demand 376ps as advertised ha ha

 

[Kelza]

That would be nice 376ps
