Hi all, recently picked up a 2019 A6 Avant, 2.0 Tdi

i'm looking into getting  towbar fitted but the towbar people have warned me to check if the car has emergency braking. It definitely does while going forwards but i cant see anyway of checking whether this is true while reversing (apparently it makes a big difference to the cost of the fitting) since the wife refused to stand still while i tested it!!

so my question is - is there a way of checking whether there is emergency braking while reversing ? 

many thanks in advance

What i understand is that the audi has a pre sense which uses the cameras to predict a collision, warn the driver and then if no action detected brake the car itself. I've seen this indicted when travelling forwards but I just can't tell if this is the case while reversing.

If you use a vin decoder it should help tell you what spec you have. Or a sticker in the boot wheel well with various codes.

thanks - i've tried both and neither have shed any light - doesnt seem to be any detail in the VIN checker and no sticker that i can see in the wheel well. I've taken everything out
