Audi Service Training


Audi is entering into a new market segment. With the Audi Q2 Audi
is introducing an SUV that rounds out the Q family downward in
size. At a length of 4.19 metres, it combines a youthful design with
a high level of functionality and plenty of driving fun. Connectivity,
infotainment and assistance systems come from the luxury class.
The compact SUV is built at the main Audi plant in Ingolstadt, and
it will launch on the European market in autumn 2016.
The Audi Q2 presents a powerful and energetic image at first
glance. Two large, powerfully contoured air inlets and the highly
positioned Singleframe radiator grille clearly give the front end an
SUV look. In a side view, edges and polygons accentuate the
vehicle’s lines in a design language that is new at Audi.

A special feature is the color-offset blade on the low-profile C-post
that can be customised. Above the high shoulder line are the
narrow windows which make up around one-third of the surface
area relative to the metal surfaces. The flanks are drawn inward in
the door area. They emphasise the wheels and with them the
quattro character of the compact SUV.
At the rear, a long roof spoiler, the strong curvature of the bumper
and the diffuser in underbody-protection look create a dynamic
finish. On the left side the exhaust system terminates in single or
twin tailpipes. Just like the wedge-shaped headlights, the rear
lights can also be implemented in LED technology as an option.
Audi can also supply dynamic turn signals at the rear.

Displays and operation Air conditioning

The displays appear on a central MMI monitor which is permanently
mounted on the instrument panel. Depending on trim level, the Audi Q7
­features a fully digital instrument cluster - the Audi virtual cockpit.
A head-up display is optional. The system projects relevant information on to
the windscreen within the driver's field of vision in the form of easily recogis-
able symbols and characters.
Air conditioning is provided by a manually or automatically controlled air
conditioning system. The air conditioning system is optionally available with
a dust and pollen filter which has an anti-allergenic effect. Another new
feature of the Audi Q2 is the rain and light detector sensor G397.

Body
The body creates the foundation for the vehicle's rigorous lightweight design
concept. Form-hardened steels give the passenger cell a strong backbone. A
roof slopes gently rearward toward the C-pillar with its contrasting-colour
blade. As an option, the vehicle can be equipped with an electric rear lid
drive.
Power transmission
In addition to the well-known six-speed manual gearboxes as well as the
0CW and 0D9 dual-clutch gearboxes, there is the newly developed seven-
speed dual-clutch gearbox 0GC which can be used for both front and all-
wheel drive. The 0BR rear axle drive with all-wheel-drive clutch or the 0CQ
rear axle drive with all-wheel-drive clutch are used for the quattro drive
depending on engine version. Both final drives house the 0CQ all-wheel-drive
clutch. This is the fifth generation of the electro-hydraulically controlled all-
wheel-drive clutch.
< Back Forward > Ξ Contents
Suspension
A McPherson strut-type axle is used at the front. quattro models have a
multi-link rear axle, while front-wheel-drive models have a torsion beam
axle. Adaptive dampers are optional. Progressive electro-mechanical steer-
ing (EPS) and the electro-mechanical parking brake (EPB) are standard. For
the first time on an Audi model, an ACC system by Continental AG is avail-
able as an option. A wide selection of wheels in sizes ranging from 16“ to
18“ offers lots of scope for customisation.
654_003
Electrical system and electrics
The electrical system of the Audi Q2 is based on the electrical system archi-
tecture of the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB). There are many similarities
with the electrical system architecture of the Audi A3 (type 8V) PA. Special
features of this electrical system architecture are:
• The battery is to be found in the engine bay on all Audi Q2 models.
• There is no FlexRay bus system like in Audi Q2 models.
• The MOST150 bus system is used.
Two spindle drive units are used in models with electric rear lid drive.

Body

Introduction
The body of the Audi Q2 is based on the Modular Transverse Matrix.
Previously used in the Audi A3 (type 8V), this reliable platform has
been adapted to meet the specific requirements of the Q2 with a
wheelbase of 2595 mm.

The weight target for the Q2 of 1250 kg (model with 1.0l TFSI
engine) and the exacting demands on vehicle safety were achieved
by making systematic use of different material grade and particu-
larly ultra-high-strength parts made of hot-shaped steel. The
weight of the body cell (version with solid roof without attach-
ments) is approximately 275 kg.

the body of the Q2. In addition to classic resistance spot welding of structural adhesive are used in every body.
(there are 2440 spot welds on the car), the following technologies
are utilised:

• MAG welding (total seam length: 1182 mm)

• Laser soldering (total seam length: 3102 mm)
• Plasmatron soldering (total seam length: 1273 mm)

Ultra-high-strength hot-shaped components

The use of ultra-high-strength hot-shaped steel materials means
that body repairs can only be accomplished by adopting special
repair methods suited to the properties of the material in ques-
tion.
High heat transfer to the surface to be welded would significantly
diminish the strength and weaken the structure of the component
by altering the microstructure of the material. For this reason,
MAG inert gas welding may only be used for sectional repair work
on these high-quality steels in isolated cases and in precisely
defined areas. The relevant descriptions can be found in the
workshop literature.

Sectional repairs and replaceable components

Following miscellaneous trials and crash tests on the Audi Q2,

approval was given for two sectional repair areas where MAG
welding is allowed:

1 Outer top left /right A post

2 Inside left/right B post

The following ultra high strength hot-shaped components have to

be completely replaced if damaged:

3 Side member 2, left/right

4 Upper footwell cross-member
5 Lower footwell cross-member
6 Heel section reinforcement
7 Cross-member

Partial tempering

24 % of the car body is made from hot-stamped steel. Prior to

shaping, they are heated to about 1000 °C in a continuous-flow
oven and then immediately cooled to about 200 °C in a water-
cooled pressing tool. This abrupt change in temperature creates an
iron-carbon microstructure which imparts exceptional tensile
strength. Components made from these high-end steels are
relatively thin and therefore light.
Components such as the rear side member or the inside B post
have to be capable of absorbing and dissipating the forces that
occur in the event of a crash and, therefore, are partially hardened
and tempered in accordance with requirements. This gives the
component high-strength or ultra-high-strength properties within
a defined area. Ultra-high-strength

2 Tailored Rolled Blank

The heel plate (6) has been adapted specifically to meet body
strength and crash safety requirements by employing tailor rolled
8 blank technology. These are flexibly rolled blanks, where variations
in sheet-metal thickness are produced by controlled opening and
closing of the gap between the rollers.

These variations in sheet-metal thickness not only save weight but

also create defined crumple zones which provide protection in the
event side-on impact. The thickness of the sheet-metal at the heel
plate varies between 0.95 and 1.70 mm.

Blades on the C posts
The C post on the Aud Q2 are trimmed with so-called blades
consisting of an outer shell mounted on a carrier part. The blades
are precisely positioned relative to the car body by means of
centring pins (highlighted red in the illustration) and held in place
by adhesive as well as a total of eight fastening clips per side. The
blades represent not only a design highlight - they also enhance

Rear lid

The Audi Q2 can have either a rear lid with manual closing and
opening function or a power opening and closing rear lid
(optional). Two spindle drives are installed in the Q2 for this
purpose. To allow the rear lid to close reliably in all conditions, the
articulation of the spindel drive relative to the body had to be
modified compared to the gas-filled spring in the manual version.
The rear lid itself and the two bottom brackets are identical in both
versions. The modified geometry of the upper bracket means that
the angle of attack of the spindle drive relative to the body is
different.

Note
If the rear lid is still not fully assembled, it should only be opened by hand as the spindle drive may be damaged irreparably
by the upper limit stop if the rear lid is too light.

The rear lid inner trim may only be fitted when the open rear lid is at its limit stop.

SCR system

Th reducing agent tank houses the filler neck, the reducing agent
heater control unit and the delivery module. A separate tank vent
houses a ventilation module and an equalisation module, which
are requirements for rapid ventilation of the reducing agent
system. In the area of the delivery module inside the reducing
agent tank, a surge tank and baffles dampen the sloshing move-
ment of the reducing agent. The delivery module is welded
securely to the reducing agent tank. Only the delivery unit is bolted
into the delivery module and can be replaced if servicing is
required. All functions are activated and controlled by the engine
control unit J623.
The delivery module houses the following components:
• Reducing agent tank heater Z102
• Reducing agent level sensor G697
• Reducing agent pump V437
• Reducing agent recirculating pump V561
• Reducing agent temperature sender G685

Mechatronic unit J743 Auxiliary hydraulic pump 1 for gear oil V475

The gear set, the dual clutches and the mechatronic unit J743 are
share a common ATF supply. The mechatronic unit has its own oil
reservoir, which is flooded with ATF up to the overflow rim. This
means that all solenoid valves run in an oil bath, which ensures
complete ventilation of the electro-hydraulic unit and cools the
solenoid valve coils. The ATF level in the oil reservoir for the gear
set is kept to a minimum in order to avoid unnecessary churning
losses.
The auxiliary hydraulic pump V475 is a unit comprising the duocen-
tric pump and an electric motor. The pump is supplied with electri-
cal power via a separate 4-pin connector. The pump electronics
receive their instructions from the mechatronic unit J743 via the
powertrain CAN. If required, the pump assists with the following:
• ATF supply to clutches K1 and K2 in start-stop mode.
• Clutch cooling with ATF.
• ATF supply to the shift hydraulics in coasting mode.
• Lubrication of the gear set and the shafts with ATF.

Main ATF pump

The main ATF pump is driven permanently and mechanically via a
gear which is connected directly to the dual clutches. The main oil
pump has been made smaller and more efficient by reducing
leakage losses through the use of sliding seat valves among other
things. To compensate for load peaks and to make possible func-
tions such as start-stop mode or coasting mode, the main oil pump
is assisted by the auxiliary hydraulic pump V475.
The main ATF pump performs the following tasks:
• Supply of ATF to clutches K1 and K2.
• Clutch cooling with ATF.
• Supply of ATF to the shift hydraulics.
• Lubrication of the gear set and the shafts with ATF.

Gearbox functions and functions influencing the gearbox control unit

Audi drive select Other functions

Audi drive select can be used to select between different vehicle
configurations, i.e. modes. The following modes are available in
the Audi Q2: efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic and individual.
The gearbox setups are tailored to the customer's requirements in
a country-specific fashion. For this reason, only typical differences
between the various modes can be shown here.
In efficiency mode the shift points for automatic gearboxes are
shifted to lower engine speeds and coasting mode is available in
drive position D, provided that the conditions for this are met
(refer to owner's manual). This allows more fuel-efficient driving.
In the comfort and auto modes, the gearbox shift points are
comfort-oriented, well balanced and designed for everyday use.
Iin the sporty dynamic mode, the gearbox adjusts its shift points
to higher up the rev band.
In addition to Audi drive select, the gearbox control unit partici-
pates in other vehicle functions. These include:
• The kickdown function
• Manual gear-shifting (tiptronic mode)
• The Launch Control Program (available with 0GC / 0D9
gearboxes only)
• Coasting mode
• The start-stop system
• Downhill assist
These functions should be sufficiently well known. They serve
partly to enhance comfort and partly to increase driving efficiency.
You will find a description of these functions in the owner's
manual.

In individual mode the driver can freely select an engine/gearbox

setup irrespective of other vehicle systems under the Audi drive sel

the oil level checked again. The final step is to run an actuator test.
Towing
If a situation arises where it becomes necessary to tow an Audi Q2
with automatic gearbox, the usual restrictions on automatic
gearboxes apply:
• Disengage the parking lock using the emergency release lever.
Refer to page 25.
• Selector lever in N.
• Max. towing speed 50 kph.
• Max. towing distance 50 km.
• If the vehicle is to be towed with an axle raised, only the front
axle should be raised.
Reason
When the engine is at standstill, the oil pump is not driven and
certain parts of the gearbox are not lubricated. Failure to comply
with the towing conditions can lead to serious gearbox damage.

Suspension

Overall concept
The suspension system of the Audi Q2 is based largely on proven
technology used previously in other Audi models. Use is made of
components and functions previously exclusive to higher-end
models. A McPherson strut-type axle is used at the front. Models
with quattro drive come equipped with a multilink rear axle.
Front-wheel-drive models receive a torsion beam axle.
The active suspension system with electronic damper control is the
top-of-the-range option.
The Q2 also uses the electro-mechanical steering system (EPS)
known from the Audi A3 (type 8V) and an electro-mechanical
parking brake (EPB). Progressive steering is standard.
A wide range of steering wheels, wheels and tyres is available for
customisation.
ACC is optional. Functions previously exclusive to higher-end
models are, therefore, now available for the Audi Q2.

Axles and wheel alignment

Front axle

The front axle is based on that of the Audi A3 (type 8V). The steel
subframe is a new development. The track control arms have been
adapted to handle the higher axle loads of the Audi Q2. The
bearing elements of the track control arms have been redesigned
in terms of their elastokinematic characteristics. The plain bear-
ings used in the Audi TT (type FV) are employed as suspension strut
bearings.

654_131

Rear axle

Front-wheel-drive models

All front-wheel-drive models come equipped with a torsion beam

rear axle. The basis for this is the axle of the Audi A3 (type 8V) with
sport suspension. The requisite wider wheel spacing is achieved by
using a newly developed kingpin.

654_132

Models with quattro all-wheel drive

All quattro models are fitted with the multi-link rear axle of the
Audi A3 (type 8V). By way of deviation from this, the wheel mounts
of the Audi TT (type FV) are used (for a wider wheel spacing).

Wheel alignment and suspension setup

Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC)

Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) is optional in the Audi Q2. In terms
of its design and working principle, the system is basically identical
to the systems already in use on other Audi models. For the first
time in an Audi, the system is also available in combination with a
torsion beam rear axle.
The damper control function is always engaged during vehicle
operation and cannot be deactivated by the driver. The damper
valves are not activated when the vehicle is at a standstill. The
driver can set the damper characteristic with Audi drive select,
either using a separate switch in the switch panel or directly in the
MMI. The last setting selected stay active after a terminal 15 reset.
The electronic damper control system has 3 different damping
characteristics. Depending on the setting chosen in
Audi drive select, the system activates maps which provide a
medium, comfort-oriented or sporty characteristic.
The highest damping forces are produced when a current of about
1.9 A is applied.

System response to faults
If the control unit fails, if it is not possible to activate the dampers;
and if no measurement data is supplied by two vehicle level
sensors, the control system is shut down.
The damper valves are designed in such a way that medium
damping forces (basic damping) are produced in a neutral (non-
activated) state. The vehicle remains dynamically stable despite
the corresponding loss of comfort.
The system shutdown is indicated to the driver by the usual yellow
pictogram (damper icon) and by a text message.
If the signal from a vehicle level sensor is not available, a substi-
tute signal is generated from the measurement data supplied by
the other sensors and the control system stays active.
Brake system
The Audi Q2 is equipped with a generously dimensioned brake
system which offers high performance reserves in any driving
situation. The electro-mechanical parking brake (EPB) and the ESC
system are carry-overs from the Audi A3 (type 8V). In place of the

System overview

An ACC system by Continental is used in the Audi Q2 for the first
time in an Audi model. As with the ACC systems used prevously in
Audi models, the control unit, sensor and receiver are integrated in
a unit. The Audi Q2 uses a sensor unit which is located centrally at
the bottom of the bumper. The control unit is connected to the
front camera for driver assistance systems R242 via a private CAN
(sub-bus system) and to the vehicle via the extended CAN bus. The
system is operated by the driver in the same way as in other Audi
models. If the vehicle has Audi drive select, the ACC drive program
is coupled to the setting selected here. Alternatively, the ACC can
be custom-configured using the individual setting. If the vehicle is
not equipped with Audi drive select, the ACC drive program is
selected via a separate menu.

ADR sender, right G259 and ACC control unit J428

The sensor has two radar transmitter units and three receiver
units. One receiver unit evaluates specifically the vertical signals.
This gives a horizontal radar acquisition range of about +/- 45° at
close range (up to approx. 40 m). The maximum range is approxi-
mately 170 m. The horizontal radar acquisition range is about
+/-9° outside the close range.

The reflector lens is not heated. The operating range of the ACC is

ACC auxiliary functions

The Audi Q2 has the following ACC auxiliary functions known from
other Audi models:
• Stop & Go ACC
The Audi Q2 is ready to restart in three seconds. The extended
restart readiness function implemented in several other Audi
models is not available. ACC reacts to stationary objects.
• Distance indicator / distance warning
• Traffic jam assist
The vehicle is guided longitudinally by the ACC system and
transversely by the camera for driver assistance systems. In the
Audi Q2 with traffic jam assist a measurement data from the
ACC and camera is not combined like in the Audi A4 (type 8W)
and in the Audi Q7 (type 4M).
• Control behaviour when cornering
To avoid critical situations in terms of driving dynamics, corner-
ing speed is not increased further by the ACC system during an
acceleration phase, if necessary. The predictive route data from
the vehicle navigation system is not evaluated by the ACC
system in the Audi Q2. The Audi Q2 does not have predictive
cornering speed control, as implemented for example in the
Audi A4 (type 8W) and Q7 (type 4M) with ACC. The Audi Q2
controls uses vehicle dynamics data for speed control while
cornering.

• Overtaking assistance 1)
• Start-off monitoring 1)
Start-up of the Audi Q2 is monitored by evaluating the ACC
radar signals only.

• Lane change assistance 1)

country, there are minor differences in terms of applications.

Service operations

The components of the ACC system also have self-diagnostic

capability in the Audi Q2. The ACC control unit J428 can be
addressed with the diagnostic tester using diagnostic code 0013.

The system monitors the horizontal and vertical settings of the

radar sensor (sender) on the basis of a statistical evaluation of
objects detected.

A key new service feature is that manual calibration of the sensors

is no longer required. If misalignment of a sensor is detected by
statistical evaluation, an offset value can be applied to the meas-
urement data. At the same time, the system is able to compensate
for misalignment values of +/- 6°.

On completion of the work specified in the workshop manual (e.g.

removal/installation of the ACC unit, adjustment of specific axle
setting values), the reinstalled components must be calibrated at a
wheel alignment workstation by following the usual procedure.
The geometric drive axis of the vehicle is determined by an initial
654_139a
measurement. The reflector mirror of the setting device
(VAS 6430/1 with ACC reflector mirror VAS 6430/10) is aligned at
right angles to the vehicle. ACC is activated by the diagnostic
tester. The misalignment angle is determined on the basis of the
radar signals reflected by the reflector mirror. The ACC systems
used previously in Audi models are set by the mechanic via the
setting screws on the ACC unit. This work is no longer necessary in
the Audi Q2. The ACC control unit determines the required correc-
tion factors and compensates electronically for the misalignment.

For detailed information about setting the radar sensor, refer to

tor mirror VAS 6430/10.

Low tyre pressure indicator

The second-generation low tyre pressure indicator (RKA+) is

available as basic equipment for the Audi Q2. In terms of design
and function, operation and driver information as well as service
and diagnosis functions, the system corresponds to those already
used in other Audi vehicles.

Electrics and electronics

Power supply
Car battery

The battery of the Audi Q2 is housed in the engine bay and pro-
tected by a battery box. Battery size and type are dependent on
engine version, trim and country specification. Standard batteries,
EFB batteries and AGM batteries are used.
• All models without a start-stop system come fitted with a
standard battery.
• Models with a start-stop system come fitted with an EFB,
irrespective of engine version.
• Vehicles with an auxiliary heater generally come equipped with
an AGM battery.

EFB battery AGM battery

An EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) can be regarded as a heavy-
duty wet-cell battery. The positive plate inside the battery is coated
with an additional polyester scrim. This provides additional hold
for the active battery material. The deep-cycle resistance is higher
than that of conventional batteries. An EFB is charged in exactly
the same way as a conventional battery.
In AGM batteries, the battery electrolyte is bound in a microporous
glass matting. In addition to having higher deep-cycle resistance
than an EFB battery, the AGM battery is noted for its leak-proof
construction. When charging an AGM battery, it is important to
follow the charger's operating instructions and, where applicable,
to program the charger for AGM batteries.

The following batteries are used on the Audi Q2:

Standard battery EFB battery AGM battery

72 Ah/380 A 59 Ah/320 A 68 Ah/380 A

69 Ah/360 A

70 Ah/420 A

Battery bracket

As the battery housing can vary in length, there are multiple holes
in the battery bracket for fastening batteries in different sizes.

Audi Q2 models with LED headlights are equipped with an auto-
matic dynamic headlight range adjustment system. Changes in the
range of the headlight beam due to loading of the vehicle as well
as braking and accelerating are compensated.
The cornering light and headlight range control J745 receives
vehicle level information directly fom the rear left vehicle level

Audi drive select

The Audi Q2 can be ordered with the Audi drive select system. The
customer can choose between four operating modes: efficiency,
comfort, auto and dynamic. The efficiency mode configures the
vehicle for fuel economy and helps the driver conserve fuel. In
addition, the car setup can be customised in individual mode.
Depending on infotainment system, the Audi drive select system
can be set either via a button on the centre console or via the CAR
menu in the RMC/MMI.

Functional features

• The mode previously selected is restored when the vehicle
restarts.
• The settings in individual mode are automatically assigned to
the car key in use.
• The mode can be changed whether the car is stationary or
moving. Condition: terminal 15 "on").
• On some models, maximum speed is only achievable in the auto
and dynamic drive modes.
• The individual mode is not available when towing a trailer.
• To active the newly selected mode for the engine too, the
accelerator must be briefly moved into the idle position.
Models with manual gearbox:
• an E is additionally displayed on the gearshift indicator in
efficiency mode.
• If the accelerator is pressed down fully beyond kickdown at full
throttle in efficiency mode, engine power output is automati-
cally adjusted to provide maximum acceleration.
Models with dual-clutch gearbox:
• If the vehicle is running in efficiency mode, an E is displayed
automatically in the instrument cluster when the selector lever
is in D.
• When dynamic mode is selected, the gearbox is automatically
put into S. When efficiency mode is selected, E is engaged
automatically.

Combiner head-up display

Combiner head-up display
The "head-up display" (HUD) is a display system which allows
drivers to keep a largely unchanged head posture and/or line of
vision because the information is projected into their field of
vision.

A combiner head-up display (cHUD) is used in the Audi Q2 for the

first time in a Audi. The combiner is, as it were, a "combiner of
information".

Technically speaking, the front windscreen does not serve as the

reflective surface for display of information but rather a small,
transparent and reflective yet translucent glass screen. This screen
is an integral part of the cHUD module and saves having to fit
special windscreens.

654_083

Readouts on the combiner head-up display

The virtual image which is projected onto the combiner screen by

means of an optical system can display the following information
within the driver's field of vision:

• Warnings

• Information from driver assistance systems, such as roads signs

indicating speed limits

• Vehicle speed
654_084
• Navigation messages

The brightness level of the display is adapted continuously to the

brightness conditions. For the purpose, the windscreen projection
control unit (head-up display) J898 evaluates the values generated
by the rain and light detector sensor G397 and adjusts the display
brightness level accordingly.

The light intensity level is configured in such a way that the display
stays easily legible both at night and in direct sunlight.

Function

The kinematic mechanism of the combiner head-up display is

driven by the display opening/closing motor J301. Virtual image of the Combiner screen Field of view
head-up display
The head-up display is implemented by back-lighting a TFT screen
with a light source comprising multiple LEDs. The light beams are
then projected onto the combiner screen via an internal folding
mirror.

Using an internal folding mirror in combination with the combiner

screen creates the impression that the head-up display is not in the
area of the combiner screen, but rather at a comfortable distance
of 2 m – 2 ½ m from the driver. This effect is achieved by applying
the physical laws of reflection and transmission to the combiner
screen.

Dust and pollen filter

The Audi Q2 features a new filter for the cabin air, which is avail-
able as an optional extra.
These is available in two versions each consisting of three layers
with a different working principle. The special feature is the new
outer substrate layer, which also has an anti-allergenic effect.
The existing two layers are key to the high air quality within the
cabin. The filtration layer is constructed from special microfibres
and filters fine dust particles out of the air. The activated carbon
layer traps gaseous impurities.
The filter, the is to say the upper surface of the filter, is yellow. A
yellow surface on the filter is therefore indicative of a new anti-
allergenic filter. The installation procedure, location and position
are the same as for the Audi A3 (type 8V), i.e. in the footwell on
the front passenger side, behind the glove compartment, in the air
conditioner.

Active safety
Audi pre sense

Working within its system limitations, Audi pre sense is able to
initiate actions to protect the occupants and other road users in
certain critical situations. For this purpose, the vehicle and its
occupants are prepared for a potentially imminent collision. This is
made possible by networking various in-car systems. The systems
send data continuously to the data bus. Other control units are
able to receive and evaluate this information and take appropriate
action. Audi pre sense is available for the Audi Q2 in the following
versions:

PR no. 6K2 This variant comprises Audi pre sense front without ACC (Audi adaptive cruise control).

PR no. 6K4 This variant comprises Audi pre sense front including ACC (Audi adaptive cruise control).

PR no. VL0 In this variant the vehicle is not equipped with an "emergency braking function for pedestrians".

PR no. VL3 In this variant the vehicle is equipped with an "emergency braking function for pedestrians" (see function B:
"Response to pedestrians" on page 80).

PR no. 7W1 This variant includes Audi pre sense basic.

Note:
PR nos. VL0 and VL3 (with or without "emergency braking function
for pedestrians") are country-specific equipment and therefore
cannot be selected by the customer. Depending on country,
Audi pre sense front may be standard without ACC and with "emer-
gency braking function for pedestrians" (PR nos. 6K2 and VL3). If
customers wish to have ACC in these countries, they can order
Audi pre sense front including ACC. In this case, the PR nos. are
6K4 and VL3.

Note
Note that Audi pre sense acts within its system limitations and cannot always prevent collisions from occurring. It serves
only to assist the driver and it can reduce the severity of the collision. Also note that not all objects can be detected by the
radar sensor The individual functions of Audi pre sense are described in greater detail below.

Audi pre-sense basic

With Audi pre sense basic, the following action can be taken:

• Partial or full tensioning of the electrically reversible front seat • Closing of the panoramic glass sunroof1)
belt tensioners • Closing of the side windows

System characteristics of the reversible seat belt tensioners Reversible belt tensioner
with electric motor
• If an accident does not occur after a reversible tensioning
(partial or full tensioning) of the seat belts, the seat belts are
released again. The reversible seat belt tensioners are, there-
fore, ready to deploy again.
• If a seat belt is not worn, this seat belt is not partially or fully
tensioned.
• If the front passenger airbag is "off", the seat belt is not par-
tially or fully tensioned on the front passenger side.
• Being LIN control units, the reversible seat belt tensioners, the
front left seat belt tensioner control unit J854 and the front
right seat belt tensioner control units J855 are connected to the
airbag control unit.
• Partial or full tensioning of the reversible seat belt tensioners
can take place upwards of a speed of about 30 kph, both in
terms of the longitudinal and transverse dynamics. An excep-
tion here is the crash function which is implemented at low
relative speeds (refer to page 76).
• Reversible tensioning of the seat belts reduces the forward
displacement of the front occupants in a crash.
• The reversible seat belt tensioners cannot be deactivated via the
MMI. This means that the reversible seat belt tensioners are
effective even if Audi pre sense is switched off, provided that the
conditions for deployment are met.

• An emergency braking situation occurs if the above-mentioned
conditions are not met but the ABS control unit J104 has
detected an emergency braking manoeuvre based on the pedal

pedal to the brake pedal). If the conditions for emergency
braking are met, the reversible seat belt tensioners are fully
tensioned by Audi pre sense basic.

Audi pre-sense front

In models equipped with Audi pre sense front, the following action

can be taken:
• Pre-charging of the brake system • Target braking1)
• Adaptation of hydraulic brake assist • Partial or full tensioning of the electrically reversible front seat
• Audible and visual early warnings belt tensioners
• Acute warning by brake jolt • Closing of the panoramic glass sunroof2) and the side windows
• Automatic braking1) up to emergency braking intensity1)

General overview

Audi pre sense front uses a "mid-range" radar sensor, which is also
responsible for ACC (Audi adaptive cruise control).
The radar sensor is able to detect objects up to a distance of 170 m
ahead of the vehicle with an aperture angle of up to 8°. At close
range, it is able to detect objects with a maximum aperture angle
of 90° up to 40 m ahead of the vehicle. For this purpose, the
vehicle is equipped with a radar sensor including control unit. The
radar sensor and the control unit have been combined to form the
ACC unit. The ACC unit can only be replaced as a whole. If the
vehicle has ACC, it is also equipped with Audi pre sense front. If the
vehicle is equipped with Audi pre sense front "without" ACC, the
ACC unit in fitted but it does not have ACC capability.
Audi pre sense front reacts only to vehicles which are travelling in
the same direction and to vehicles which have stopped, or to
persons crossing the road.

The ACC unit is fitted at the centre of the front bumper. The ACC
unit consists of the radar sensor and the accompanying control
unit - the ACC control unit J428. The radar sensor utilises different
types of radar beam depending on the speed at which the vehicle is
travelling. At high speeds, the radar beam is long and narrow. This
allows objects further in the distance to be identified more easily,
e.g. when driving on the motorway. At low speeds, the radar beam
is short and wide. This allows objects further adjacent to the
vehicle to be identified more easily, e.g. when driving in city traffic.

braking2) up to automatic emergency braking intensity2) or by boosting2) the braking pressure applied by
the driver thereby giving the driver more time to react and reducing the speed of the vehicle.
B Response to pedestrians: In the event of an impending collision with persons crossing the road, the driver is warned and assist-
ance is provided by automatic braking2) up to automatic emergency braking intensity2) or by boosting2)
the braking pressure applied by the driver thereby giving the driver more time to react and reducing the
speed of the vehicle.

Function A: response to vehicles

Early warning phase

If the vehicle comes within a critical distance to a vehicle ahead or

a vehicle which has stopped or is stationary, the instrument cluster
can pre-warn the driver both audibly and visually within defined
limits. Depending on the situation, the early warning can be given
across the full speed range. The system can alert the driver both to Audi pre sense
the vehicles ahead and to stationary vehicles when travelling at
higher speeds.

These warnings are given within a certain time frame ahead of the
last braking opportunity for braking or collision avoidance before
the actual collision occurs. The timing of warnings depends on the
driver's activity level. The system determines whether the driver is
active or inactive based on the use of the steering wheel, foot
controls and indicators.

foot controls and turn signals. If the driver is classed as "atten-
tive", warnings are issued later than for a driver classed as "inat-
tentive". At the same time, the ABS control unit J104 pre-charges
the brake system and modifies the deployment algorithms for
hydraulic brake assist. This means that hydraulic brake assist starts
to build up brake pressure even at low brake pedal actuation rates.

impulse which does not slow the vehicle down. It alerts the driver
to the traffic situation and indicates to the driver that he must
react immediately in order to prevent an impending collision.

Automatic brake intervention phase

If the driver fails to respond to the warning jolt or only takes his
foot off the accelerator, the ABS control unit J104 initiates auto-
matic braking1). Depending on the speed at which the vehicle is
travelling, braking may increase progressively to maximum level
(emergency braking). If the vehicle automatically comes to a halt
without driver input, further audible signals will sound. These
signals alert the driver to the fact that he must actively take
control of the vehicle (e.g. by applying the brakes). If the driver
fails to take control of the vehicle, e.g. in a model with automatic
transmission, the system will release the brake and the vehicle will
start to move.

If the vehicle approaches a pedestrian crossing the road in such a

Note: Audi pre sense front is not available or only available to a
limited extent until:
• ESP is reactivated with the TCS/ESP button E256.
• ESC is reactivated by turning the ignition off and on again.
• ESC is activated automatically by activating ACC. A precondi-
tion is that the vehicle is equipped with ACC.

System characteristics of Audi pre sense front

• If an automatic braking manoeuvre 1) is initiated by the vehicle,
Audi pre sense front can help to situatively reduce the speed of
the vehicle by up to 40 kph.
• Depending on the situation, the ABS control unit J104 can
instruct the hazard warning flashers (emergency braking

• Camera based traffic sign recognition
• Basic version of main beam assist – The basic version of main
beam assist can also use the camera of main beam assist
control unit J844. However, if a front camera R242 is installed
in the vehicle, the function runs in this camera.
• adaptive cruise control (ACC) – The front camera for driver
assistance systems R242 is not a compulsory requirement when
ordering ACC. If the camera is installed, however, then ACC uses
it.
• Traffic jam assist
• Emergency assist
• Audi pre sense front – The system uses front camera R242 if it
is installed, but also functions without the front camera.

Audi active lane assist (AALA)
Audi active lane assist will be available as an option for the
Audi Q2. This is a function known from other models. The software
of the AALA runs in the front camera for driver assistance systems
R242, which is also responsible for lane recognition.
The customer can choose between the two steering points ("early"
and "late") under "Audi active lane assist" in the MMI menu "Driver
New driver take-over prompt features of Audi active lane assist
A new form of driver take-over prompt by AALA is used in the Audi
Q2. A prompt to take over the steering is issued when the system
assumes that the driver has taken both hands off the steering
wheel while AALA is active. The driver is not allowed to drive
without his hands on the steering wheel while Audi active lane
assist is active. This is monitored by evaluating the signals from
the steering torque sensor. If AALA assumes that the driver does
not have his hands on the steering wheel, he is prompted to take
over the steering again. The driver take-over prompt in the Audi Q2
consists of a text message in the instrument cluster, warning tones
and a brake jolt. It can take up to 20 seconds.

assistance systems". In the "early" setting, the system continu-
ously provides corrective steering inputs with the aim of keeping
the vehicle in the centre of the lane. In the "late" setting, correc-
tive steering inputs do not start until the vehicle approaches the
lane boundary line. This way, it helps the driver stay in lane.
654_037
In models launched prior to the Audi Q2, the driver take-over
prompt is implemented as a simple brake jolt. In these models,
the status of AALA switches from "active" to "inactive" shortly after
the text message „Lane assist: please take over steering“ is dis-
played. No further corrective steering inputs are performed. In this
case, the system no longer issues a vibration warning. The colour
of the AALA function lamp in the instrument cluster changes from
green to yellow.

The x-axis of the diagram serves as a timeline showing the chrono-

prompting the driver to take over is displayed because the system
assumes that the driver does not have his hands on the steering

Emergency assist
Function

The task of the emergency assist system is to bring the vehicle to a
controlled stop in its current lane in an emergency. It is activated if
the driver takes his hands off the steering wheel when Audi active
lane assist or traffic jam assist is active and does not respond to
the prompt to take over the steering. During the standstill braking
operation the system continues to prompt the driver to take over
the steering. In this critical situation AALA also warms the other
traffic in the immediate vicinity by activating the hazard warning
flashers. To reduce the risk of colliding with a vehicle ahead, ACC is
also activated when emergency assist is activated. For this
purpose, ACC must be switched on and activatable.
Technical requirements for the implementation of emergency
assist in the Audi Q2 are, therefore, Audi active lane assist and
ACC. Emergency assist is only available in combination with an
automatic gearbox at launch of the new Audi Q2. The software of
emergency assist is integrated in the front camera for driver
assistance systems R242.
Emergency assist is designed for situations in which the driver is
unable to continue driving due to an acute health problem. Emer-
gency assist can bring the vehicle to a stop automatically and
without the vehicle leaving the lane in which it is travelling.
The Audi Q2 is the first Audi model in which emergency assist is
offered. Emergency assist was first featured in a VW Group model
in 2014, when the VW Passat was launched. The Volkswagen and
Audi systems are based on the same software, but differ slightly in
several respects.
Emergency assist can only activate itself at speeds of greater than
60 kph only when AALA is active and at speeds of less than 60 kph
if traffic jam assist is active.

Note
Emergency assist can only deploy once per "terminal 15" cycle.

The driver take-over prompt sequence of the AALA system ends at

The following action is taken:
1.) The text message "Emergency assist: carrying out automatic
emergency stop“ is displayed.
2.) A further warning tone is issued.
3.) The vehicle commences standstill braking.
During the standstill braking operation the vehicle is braked to a
stop at a rate of approx. 1.8 m/s2. However, this value may be
exceeded briefly by the ACC when approaching a vehicle ahead if
this is necessary for automatic cruise control.
At the 24 s time mark a warning tone is issued and a brake jolt is
initiated.
At the 26 s time mark the speed of the vehicle drops below the
80 kph threshold. Consequently, a much stronger emergency brake
jolt is applied when the next "scheduled" brake jolt is initiated at
the 28 s time mark. The hazard warning flashers are activated at
the same time as the emergency brake jolt in order to alert vehicles
in the vicinity to this emergency situation.
Now a further warning tone and a brake jolt are initiated cyclically
every 4 seconds.
If the vehicle finally comes to a stop at the 47 s time mark, the
electrical parking brake is closed. The ACC abd AALA systems are
deactivated. The hazard warning flashers stay switched on. The
audible warning and the text message in the instrument cluster
remain active until the driver takes over the steering.

Criteria for cancelation of driver take-over prompt in the Audi Q2
The driver take-over prompt sequence ends when any of the fol-
lowing events takes place:
1.) The system detects that the driver has taken over steering the
vehicle again.
2.) Audi active lane assist is switched on and off using the button
on the turn signal stalk.
3.) Audi active lane assist enters "inactive" state because the
condition for activation no longer applies. This can occur, for
example, due to the following events:
• The vehicle's speed drops below 60 kph.
• No lane boundary lines are detected by the system.
• The lane is either too narrow or too wide.
• The radius of a curve is too small.
Emergency assist is not activated if the driver take-over prompt is
ended prematurely.
Cancelation of Audi active lane assist while emergency assist is active
If no or only one lane boundary line is detected while emergency
assist is active and if ACC does not detect an object ahead, then
