Initial publication
Customer states:
 One of the symbols for “Audi pre sense not available at
the moment” is shown for about 20 seconds after engine
starts and then it disappears (Figures 1 - 2).
 In some models, the vehicle must be moved before the
initialization indicator goes out.
Figure 1. Symbol for “Audi pre sense not
available at the moment”.
Figure 2. Symbol for “Audi pre sense not
available at the moment” (MY2021 and on).
Technical Background
This icon is shown for about 20 seconds after switching on the ignition, because Audi pre sense is not available at
the time. The front camera for driver assist systems R242 needs about 20 seconds, or, in some models, a velocity
signal, to start up.

System More Info | Launch. This SSP is a prerequisite to the 2017 Q7 ILT and e-launch package.
