How can I enable automatic emergency braking on my Audi A3?

I recently purchased a new Audi A3 and I've heard about a feature called automatic emergency braking. How can I activate this feature and ensure it is working properly?

To enable automatic emergency braking on your Audi A3, go to the Settings menu in your vehicle's infotainment system and select 'Driver Assistance.' Here, you will find the option to turn on automatic emergency braking and adjust the sensitivity level. It is recommended to leave it at the default level for optimal performance.

Another way to activate automatic emergency braking is to press the 'Car' button on your key fob for five seconds. You will hear two beeps indicating that the feature is now enabled. It is important to note that this method may not work on all versions of the Audi A3, so be sure to check your owner's manual.

In order to make sure your automatic emergency braking is working properly, perform a test in a controlled environment such as an empty parking lot. Drive at a slow speed towards a stationary object and the system should automatically engage and bring the vehicle to a stop. If it does not, it is recommended to have your vehicle checked by a certified Audi technician.
