Life’s better when you have
intuition working for you.
Prevention is always the most effective means of safety. That’s why the A8 features a number
of comprehensive safety systems.
ESP
®
[Electronic Stabilization Program] allows the driver to maximize control in adverse conditions
or when the car is at its handling limit. By employing a number of safety systems, including
ABS [Anti-lock Braking], EBD [Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution], EDL [Electronic Differential
Lock] and ASR [Traction Control] in a fraction of a second, the A8 intuitively helps the driver
to maintain control.
Airbags
*
Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. The illustration shown is a dramatization of airbag deployment;
not all airbags deploy during a crash. Always use safety belts and seat children in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.
