Default PreSence Test

Has anyone tested the PreSence function on their vehicle? I'm a new owner of 2015 S3 Quattro. MY MMI configuration menu suggests that the option exists but I want to be sure it does exist and functions.

I actually have been witnessing my presense braking going a off a few times in the last few weeks due to the congestion here in NYC...The car does brake pretty hard when it engages. It almost seems as if you step on the brake so hard that you broke the pedal.

I didn't get driver assistance, so can't speak to presense braking from possible front impact.

But i was backing out of the driveway other day, saw neighbours car coming perpendicular to my car. I was crawling, so I wasn't worried about hitting him, he would pass well before I would have made it out of the driveway. But the rear bumper sensors went off and slammed on the brakes hard enough to engage ABS. It's definitely a noticeably weird feeling on the brake pedal.
