How Do Audi Vehicles Detect a Crash?
Audi's commitment to safety is evident through their utilization of sophisticated crash detection systems. Automatic crash detection is fundamentally based on a series of sensors working in harmony. The most notable among them is the GPS sensor, which meticulously gauges your Audi's speed, heading, and coordinates, updating every second to provide a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle's trajectory.
This data is critical in analyzing the dynamics of a potential crash, allowing for a swift and calculated response from the vehicle's safety mechanisms. Audi's smart systems can detect a sudden halt in motion or an unusual swerve, which could suggest an imminent collision. Once a probable crash is detected, measures like the deployment of airbags are initiated to protect you and your passengers.

The Role of Crash Sensors in Your Audi Vehicle
Crash sensors in Audi cars are ingeniously engineered and positioned to anticipate and react to collisions. In most models, front impact sensors are located within the doors - the driver's side typically houses the left front sensor, while the passenger side accommodates the right front one. These sensors play a dual role: they measure and detect the intensity and nature of an impact and communicate with the car's central control system to trigger the appropriate restraint systems.
If you're looking to repair or replace any part of your Audi's safety system, ensure you're using genuine parts. You can find all the components you need at our Parts Department.
Recognizing the Signs of a Faulty Crash Sensor
Owning a vehicle equipped with state-of-the-art safety features, like those found in Audi models, comes with the responsibility of maintenance. A clear indicator of a malfunctioning crash sensor is the airbag warning light flashing or remaining lit on the dashboard. Other signs that can indicate a faulty sensor include system warnings and reductions in the functionality of interconnected safety features.
Don't ignore these warning signs. If you've noticed any of these symptoms, it's time to schedule an appointment with our Service Department. Remember, with any service, you'll receive a Free Car Wash. For added convenience, we offer Service Pickup and delivery within 20 miles for services over $300.
The Essential Functions of Sensors in Audi Cars
Audi vehicles are fortified with an array of sensors to monitor all critical aspects of performance, ensuring that everything from speed to temperature and pressure is under continuous surveillance. These sensors do more than just check the vehicle's health; they feed vital information to the car's control systems, enabling preemptive measures to secure the system's integrity and passengers' safety. This is central to Audi's ethos of integrating intelligent technology for a seamless driving experience.

How Audi's Collision Mitigation Sensor Contributes to Your Safety
Audi's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) is a shining example of the brand's dedication to protective technology. This system utilizes a forward-thinking dual approach: a radar sensor positioned in the grille and a camera behind the rearview mirror to detect potential obstacles, including pedestrians. Should the system determine that a collision is unavoidable, it sends out alerts and can even engage the brakes to reduce the impact.
For Audi vehicles sporting the CMBS, such as the Audi Q5 and A4, visit our showroom at 11401 Atlantic Blvd Jacksonville Florida 32225 or get directions to experience the next level of safety in person. Our sales team, reachable at 904-367-3700, is ready to introduce you to these pioneering safety advancements.
