Technical Background

Refer to the “Active front assist” chapter of the Owner's Manual and self-study program 687 — Audi Q6 e-tron (type
GF).

Production Solution

Not applicable.

Service
You can use the “Active front assist” test program to call up the intervention history and display it in ODIS-S. The
test program can be found under:

+ Test plan > Select self-test > Diagnostic capable system > 00A5 - Front sensors for driver assistant systems —

R242 > 00A5 - Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) > Active front assist

The test program asks you to enter the date of the intervention. The test program then checks whether active front
assist interventions took place in the period between three days before and three days after the date entered. At the
end, the program provides a list of the interventions during this period.

In the table below, you will find an overview of the various intervention-types and their explanations:

“Active front assist”

Preliminary warning _ | If a possible collision risk is detected, the driver is made aware of the danger by a visual

and acoustic warning.

Main warning If there is an immediate risk of a collision, an acute warning may be issued in the form of a
short brake jolt. The only way of avoiding the collision may be for the driver to take evasive
action or to brake hard.

RAB Reaction time-increasing automatic braking (RAB):

Early initiation of partial braking increases the time until the impending collision and thus
gives the driver more time to react appropriately. The driver is also made aware of a
dangerous situation and the speed of impact is reduced in the event of a possible collision.

DAB Deescalating automatic braking (DAB):

In situations where a collision can only be avoided by braking immediately, automatic
braking is performed. This helps to avoid accidents or reduces their severity.

AFB Automatic braking to a stop (AFB):

In critical situations at intersections, when driving away from a standstill and at low speeds,
the vehicle is automatically braked to a stop to prevent a collision with oncoming vehicles
in the adjacent lane or vehicles/cyclists crossing the vehicle's path.

FZB Driver-triggered controlled braking (FZB):

In critical situations, the braking force applied by the driver is increased so that a collision is
avoided, if possible. This sub-function assists drivers who do not brake sufficiently in critical
situations.
AWU Swerve support (AWU):
Swerve support is a corrective steering function which can assist the driver for a limited
time within the system limits when there is a risk of a frontal collision with stationary or
oncoming road users or road users moving in the same direction. To do this, the system
continuously determines the current collision risk. If the driver makes a clear steering
movement when there is an acute collision risk, the system checks whether it is possible to
avoid the collision by swerving in the direction specified by the driver's steering movement.
If there is sufficient space to swerve and thus to avoid a collision, the system assists the
driver in performing the evasive maneuver they initiated by providing steering assistance;
the system may also perform targeted braking of individual wheels. In addition to this,
partial braking to reduce the vehicle’s speed may also be performed during the evasive
maneuver. The driver can override the assistance provided by the swerve support at any
time.
ANA Automatic emergency swerve (ANA):
Automatic emergency swerve is a corrective steering function which can assist the driver
for a limited time within the system limits with a collision-avoiding steering intervention
when there is a risk of a frontal collision with stationary road users or road users moving in
the same direction. To do this, the system continuously determines the current collision
risk. The system checks whether it is possible to avoid the collision by performing an
automatic evasive maneuver. If there is sufficient space to swerve and thus to avoid a
collision, the system performs an evasive maneuver in the form of a steering intervention;
the system may also perform targeted braking of individual wheels. In addition to this,
partial braking to reduce the vehicle’s speed may also be performed during the evasive
maneuver. The driver can override the intervention by the emergency swerve function at
any time.

Please check the software version of the front camera for driver assist systems -R242- (diagnostic address 00A5).

Combined software update "03.10.00/C (28.13.01) KD2" is available for vehicles with software version SW0250 or

$W0295. This update is described in TSB 2079690, 00 Combined software update 03.10.00/C (28.13.01) KD2.

The combined software update includes measures that increase the robustness of the active front assist function.
