| | Safety and comfort in the luxury SUV. Driver assistance systems by Bosch in the new Audi Q7 |

The systems Bosch supplies for the new Audi Q7 include the optimised adaptive cruise control ACCplus and the innovative, forward-looking safety system called Predictive Collision Warning.
Drivers of the new luxury SUV can thus benefit from an immediately perceivable increase in safety and comfort.
Supporting the entire speed range in a traffic jam
The conventional ACC system detects vehicles travelling in front, computes their speed and maintains the adequate safety distance by automatically controlling braking and engine speed. As soon as there is no longer a slower vehicle within the measuring range, the system accelerates the car back to the pre-selected speed. In contrast to the previous generations the new ACCplus system by Bosch as installed in the Audi Q7 also operates at travelling speeds below 30 km/h and all the way down to complete standstill.
Even at crawling speed it maintains the safety distance to the vehicle ahead and automatically slows down the car in stop-and-go traffic, if necessary right down to a complete stop. The driver receives a visual and acoustic signal as soon as the car in front moves off again. To follow that car, the driver only needs to touch the ACC control switch on the steering wheel briefly or push the accelerator slightly. Hence ACCplus offers particularly useful assistance in bumper-to-bumper traffic and traffic jams. Of course the driver can override the system at any time and accelerate or slow down the car on his own.
