Audi Q5 Reliability

Audi Q5 Driver-Assistive Features

In order to ensure you'll get from Point A to Point B as safely as possible, the Audi Q5 has several standard and available active safety features as part of its driver-assistance technology. These safety features work to help prevent a collision.

Some of the active safety features of the Audi Q5 include:

• Rear view camera
• Audi pre sense® city
• Audi side assist

These safety features use a series of cameras and sensors that have been strategically placed around your vehicle. Take the available Audi adaptive cruise control with Traffic jam assist, for example. This comprehensive suite uses front-mounted technology to monitor what's happening ahead when you've enabled the adaptive cruise control feature.

If the technology senses you're too close to the vehicle in front of you, it can automatically adjust your speed without disabling cruise control. When in traffic, the Traffic jam assist feature can help with acceleration and braking while maintaining a pre-set following distance.

Passive Safety Features

In the case of a collision, passive safety features work to help reduce the severity of injury. These passive safety features help boost the Audi Q5's dependability. Some of the passive safety features include the Advanced Airbag Protection System, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS).

The ESC system helps you stay on track by detecting and correcting over- and under-steering that could lead to loss of traction. With the Audi Q5, you'll also have offroad mode, quattro® all-wheel drive, and more to help improve your safety no matter where the roads take you.

Of course, a seat belt is one of the vehicle's best passive safety features. To ensure that seat belts are used during travels, your Audi Q5 is equipped with standard safety belt reminders for you and your front passenger and the LATCH system for rear-seated children.

LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether for Children) makes installing a child's safety seat easier. At the end of the day, a properly installed car seat can greatly reduce the risk of injury for children in the unlikely event of a collision.

Helpful Technology

In addition to the active and passive safety features that improve the Audi Q5's reliability, there are a few other safety features powered by technology that can make your commute a bit safer. Some of these features include the available Head-up display and standard Park assist.

The Head-up display projects vital driving information, such as speed, navigation, road signs, and more, onto a portion of the dashboard. This allows you to easily access crucial information without taking your eyes off the road.

The Park assist feature not only helps make parallel and perpendicular parking a breeze, but it also makes finding a spot easier than ever. This intelligent technology helps maneuver into a parking spot, so all you have to focus on is acceleration, braking, and changing gears.
