Parking aid

Parking aid
General information
Applies to: vehicles with parking system plus/rearview cam-
era/park assist
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The parking system plus assists you when park-
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de-
tected in front of and behind the vehicle
=> page 137.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The
lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver > page 138.
Park assist helps you to locate suitable parking
spaces when parallel or perpendicular parking,
and also helps when leaving a parallel parking
space > page 140.

Z\ WARNING
— Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or exiting a park-
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
— Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
— Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect-
ed. Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
— Always pay attention to the area around the
vehicle - using the rearview mirror, too.
— The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The park-
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
ized Audi Service Facility check their func-
tion.

136
@) Note
— Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
— objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
— objects above the sensors such as wall ex-
tensions
— objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
— If you continue driving closer to a low ob-
ject, it may disappear from the sensor
range. Note that you will no Longer be
warned about this obstacle.
— Maintain enough distance from the curb to
reduce the risk of damage to the rims.
@) Tips
— The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover-
age area in some situations, such as:
— certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
— external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
—in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex-
haust
— We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be-
come familiar with the system. Practice
parking in good light and weather condi-
tions.
— You can change the volume and pitch of the
signals as well as the display > page 144.
— What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
— The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.

Parking aid

The rearview camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. Make sure that the lens for
the parking system > fig. 135 is not covered by
deposits or any other obstructions because this
can affect the function of the parking system. For
information on cleaning, see > page 342.
The rearview camera coverage area includes ()
> fig. 134. Only this area is shown in the Info-
tainment display. Objects that are in area Q),
which is not covered, are not displayed.

Z\ WARNING
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings > A\ in General information on
page 136.
— If the position and the installation angle of
the rearview camera was changed, for exam-
ple after a collision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
— Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin-
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
— Use the rearview camera only if the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. If the
luggage compartment lid is open the orien-
tation lines and blue surfaces are hidden.
Make sure any objects you may have mount-
ed on the luggage compartment lid do not
block the rearview camera.
— The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al-
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
—Incertain situations, people or objects in
the display appear closer or farther away:
— For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck. Do not
use the
orientation lines in this case.
—If driven from a level surface onto an in-
cline, or a downward slope.
— If driven toward protruding objects.
— If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear.

CG) Note
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings >@ in General information on
page 136.
— The orange-colored orientation lines in the
Infotainment display show the vehicle path
based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
