The Audi A3 '04 features a range of details that were previously exclusive to higher-end cars, such as pre-fitted components for mobile phone installation with voice control. This allows drivers to keep both hands on the wheel. The A3 '04 also provides an advanced sound system with a center loudspeaker for enhanced acoustics and natural sound reproduction. The standard of control unit networking has been elevated to that of mid-range vehicles, with more than twice the number of interconnected control units compared to the previous model. This enables a wide range of high-quality functions in the compact class.

Passenger Protection

Airbag control unit J234

The function of the airbag electronics is to sense vehicle deceleration and to evaluate it such that vehicle impact is reliably detected. Depending on impact severity, the appropriate restraint systems (airbag/belt tensioner) and the crash output are activated on the basis of various general conditions in the vehicle.

Main functions of airbag electronics:

– Crash detection

– Correctly timed triggering of airbags and belt tensioners

– Correctly timed recognition of input information

– Permanent monitoring of entire airbag system

– Independent power supply via capacitor for a defined period (approx. 150 ms)

– Fault indication by way of failure warning lamp

– Storage of fault and crash information

– Signalling of crash to other system components via drive system CAN or discrete

(conventional wiring) crash output

In addition to the internal sensors in the control unit, use is made of external crash sensors for detecting vehicle impact deceleration.
