Model(s) Year Q7, Audi etron Sportback 2020 A6, A7, A8, Q8, and Audi e-tron quattro 2019 - 2020 VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All Not Applicable All Not Applicable Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 2 - Revised header (Added MY19/20 Audi e-tron quattro) Revised Service (Removed note for Audi e-tron quattro (PSS) TSB and added Tip) 1 07/08/2020 Initial publication Customer states: After opening the driver and/or front passenger door, the driver and/or front passenger seat sporadically moves to an implausible position. The Entry Assistance feature can be activated or deactivated in the MMI. After entering and starting the vehicle, the driver and/or passenger seat does not return to its original position. Instead, the seat reverses its direction and moves all the way back. After pressing the seat memory switch, the seat moves to the selected memory position. Technical Background While the seat moves during Entry Assistance, a brief action by the driver/passenger (e.g. applying the brakes, pushing against the footrest) causes a voltage peak in the seat control module. As a result, the overload limit is activated, causing the seat to reverse its direction of movement. In the old software, the overload limit was programmed with this low force value to ensure that the pinch protection is sensitive enough when the seat moves backwards. In contrast to the old software, the new software can distinguish between forward and backward movement and define different forces respectively. Since the force during forward movement is not subject to pinch protection requirements, it can be higher in the new software. Page 1 of 3 © 2020 Audi of America, Inc. All rights reserved.
