Parking systems
General information
Applies to: ve hicles with a rea r parking sys te m /pa rking sys­
tem plus/rearv iew camera
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢page 110.
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 110.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the MMI display. This display assists
you when you are cross or parallel parking. The parking system plus functions are also available
¢page 111.
A 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 leaving 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 become impaired as a re­
sult. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
- Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materials. If they
are the sensor function could be impaired.

@ 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 specific surfaces or struc­
tures such as chain link fences or powder
snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low-lying
object, it may disappear from the sensor
range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The
parking system may become impaired as a
result . Have an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
(D 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 for long grass .
- external ultrasonic sources e.g. from
cleaning vehicles.
- heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle exhaust.
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be­
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions .
- You can change the volume and pitch of the
signals as well as the display¢
page 115.
-What appears in the MMI display is some­
what time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.

Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) rein for­
ces driver safety . It reduces the risk of slipping
and improves driving stability. ESC detects crit i­
cal s ituations such as the vehicle oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinning.
The vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or reducing eng ine torq ue. When the ESC engages,
the
D1 ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
The fo llow ing systems are integrated in the ESC :
Ant i-loc k braking system (ABS)
ABS p revents the whee ls from locking whe n brak­
ing. The vehicle can sti ll be steered even during
hard brak ing. Apply steady press ure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A puls ing in t he
b rake pedal indicates that the system is acting to
s tabilize the vehicle .
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can decrease brak ing dis­
tance . It increases braking power when the d river
presses the brake pedal quick ly in emergency sit­
uations . You must press and hold t he b rake pedal
until the dangerous situat io n is over . In veh icles
with adapt ive c ruise control*, the bra ke as sist
sy stem is more sensitive if t he di sta nce detec ted
t o the vehicle ahea d is too sm all.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces eng ine power when the drive wheels
beg in sp inning a nd adapts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to start, acceler­
a te and dr ive u p in clines.
Electronic differential lock (EDL )
The EDL brakes w heels that a re spinning and
transfers the drive power to the other drive
wheel or whee ls if t he ve hicle is equipped with a ll
wheel drive*) . T his funct ion is not av ailable at
h igher speeds.
116 I
n extreme cases, ED L automat ically swi tches off
to keep the brake on the braked whee l from over­
heating. The veh icle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switc h on again automatically when condi­
tions have returned to normal.
Steering recommendation
The ESC he lps to stabili ze the vehicle by cha nging
the steering torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Se lective w hee l to rque cont rol is used when d riv ­
i ng o n curves. The fron t whee l on the inside of
the curve or bo th whee ls on the inside of the
cu rve are braked se lective ly as needed. This al­
l ows mo re precise driving in cu rves.
Automatic post-collision braking system
The "A utomat ic pos t-coll is io n braking sy stem"
c a n hel p to reduce t he risk of sliding and o f othe r
collisions after an accident . If the a irbag cont rol
module detects a collision a bove a certain vehicle
speed, the vehicle is bra ked by the ESC.
The vehicle does not bra ke automatically if:
- the dr ive r presses the acce lerator pedal, or
- the braking force generated by the pressed
brake pedal is grea ter than the braking force
that wo uld be i nitiated by the system, or
- the ESC, the brake system o r the ve hicle elect ri­
cal system are not func tioning .
A WARNING
- The ESC and its integ rated syste ms can not
o vercome the lim its posed by natural physi ­
c a l la ws. Thi s is espe cial ly import ant on sli p­
pe ry o r we t roads. If the systems beg in act ­
ing to stabilize your ve hicle, yo u should im­
mediately a lter your speed to matc h the
road and traffic condit ions. Do not let the
increased safety pr ovided tempt you into
taking risks . This cou ld increase your risk of
a co llision .
- Please note the r isk of a collis ion increases
when dr iv ing fast, especia lly t hrough c urves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when dr iv­
ing too close to objects ahead. The ESC and
i t s in tegr ated systems cannot always .,..

prevent collisions -there is still a risk of ac­
cidents!
- Press the accelerator pedal carefully when
accelerating on even, slippery surfaces such
as ice and snow. The drive wheels can spin
even when these control systems are instal­
led and this can affect driving stability and
increase the risk of a collision.
Switching on /off
Intelligent Technology
(D Tips
- The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a sim ilar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead to a
reduction in engine power.
- You may hear noises when the systems de­

- Malfunctions in the Audi magnetic ride may make it impossible to switch the ESC/ASR
off or to switch sport mode on.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not achieve their full braking
effect during the first 250 mi (400 km). They must be "broken in" first. However, you can com­
pensate for the slightly reduced braking force by
pressing firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy
braking during the break-in period .
Wear
Brake pad
wear depends largely on the way the
vehicle is driven and on operating conditions .
This is especially true if you are driving frequently
in the city and on curves or with a sporty driving
style .
Operating noise
Noises may occur when braking depending on the
speed, braking force and outside conditions such
as temperature and humidity .
Effect of water and road salt
In certain situations, for example after driving
through water, in heavy rain, after overnight con­ densation or after washing your car, the braking
effect can be reduced by moisture or ice on the
brake rotors and brake pads. The brakes must be
"dried" first with a few careful brake applica­
tions.
At higher speeds and with the windshield wipers
turned on, the brake pads press against the brake
rotors for a short amount of time. This action
which is not felt by the driver happens at regular
intervals and facilitates a better reaction time for
the brakes in wet weather .
The braking effect can also be reduced if you are
driving on salted roads and you do not apply the
118
brakes for long periods of time. The layer of salt
on the brake rotors and pads must be worn off
first when the brakes are applied.
Corrosion
Leaving the vehicle parked for long periods of
time , low mileage and avoiding heavy braking
can contribute to corrosion on the brake rotors
and dirty brake pads.
If you usually avoid heavy braking or if there is
corrosion present, occasional heavy braking at
high speeds is recommended to clean the brake
rotors and pads¢.&. .
Brake system malfunction
if you notice that the brake pedal travel has sud­
denly gotten larger, then a brake circuit may have
failed. Drive to an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility immediately to have
the problem corrected. On the way there, drive
with reduced speed and keep in mind that a long
braking distance and increased pressure on the
brake pedal will be necessary.
Low brake fluid level
When the brake fluid level is low, malfunctions in
the brake system may occur. The brake fluid level
is electronically monitored.
Brake booster
The brake booster amplifies the pressure you ap­
ply to the brake pedal.
It only works when the en­
gine is running.
A WARNING
- New brake pads do not achieve their full
braking effect during the first 250 mi
(400 km). They must be "broken in" first.
However, you can compensate for the
slightly reduced braking force by pressing
firmly on the brake pedal. Avoid heavy brak­
ing during the break-in period.
- Only apply the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traffic conditions permit. You must not en­
danger other road users. This increases the
risk of an accident.

All wheel drive (quattro)
Applies to: veh icles with all whee l drive
In all wheel drive, all four wheels are powered .
General information
In all wheel drive, the driving power is divided be­
tween all four wheels. This happens automatical­
ly depe nding on your driving behavior as well as
the c urrent road cond itions . Also see
s>
page 116, Electronic stabilization control

Winter tires
By using all wheel dr ive, your veh icle has good
forward motion w it h standard t ires in win ter con­

A WARNING
-Also, in veh icles with all wheel drive, ad apt
your d riving sty le to the cu rren t road and
traffic conditions. Do not let the increased
safety provi ded tempt you into taking r is k s,
because this inc reases the risk of an acc i­
dent.
- The braking abi lity of your vehicle is limited
to the traction of the whee ls. I n this way, it
is not different from a two w heel drive vehi­
cle . Do not be tempted to accelerate to a
hig h speed when the road is slippery, be ­
cause t his i ncreases the r is k of an accident .
- Note that on wet s treets, the front wheels
can " hydrop la ne" if dr iv ing at spee ds that
