-Improper reliance on the side assist system
can cause collisions and serious personal in­
jury:
- Never rely only on side assist when chang­
ing lanes.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make
sure that it is safe to change lanes.
- Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under
all conditions- danger of accident!
- Please note that side assist indicates there
are approaching vehicles, or vehicles in your
blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at least 19 mph
(30 km/h).
- In certain situations, the system may not
function or its function may be limited. For
example:
- if vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time.
- in poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- on very wide lanes, in tight curves or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outside of the sensor
range.
(D Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, wheel housing and
underbody. This can affect the system. Have
your authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility check their function.
(D Tips
-If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger's door has been tinted , the
display in the exterior mirror may be misin­
terpreted.

Rear parking system
Rear acoustic park assist
App lies to veh icles : w ith pa rking system (rea r)
The rear acoustic pork assist warns you of obsta­
cles or objects behind your car.
Description
The rear acous tic p arking assist system de ter ­
mines t he d istance o f the veh icle from an obsta -
114
cle using ultrasonic sensors . There are 4 sensors
in the rear bumper.
The range at whi ch the sensors s tart to measure
i s
abou t:
To the s ide 2 ft (0 .60 m)
Cente r rear 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Activation
Acoustic parking assist is act ivated automatically
whe n
revers e gear is engaged. A brief tone con­
firms that the system is a ctivated.
Warning tones
D istance warning is give n by warni ng tones wh ich
are generated by the rear signal generator . The
vo lume and the p itch of the warn ing tones can be
adjus ted in the M MI*
¢ page 115.
Rever sing
D istance warning when reversing starts when an
obstacle is detected in t he range of the parking
ass ist system . As the distance dec reases, the
time interva l between the audib le tones becomes
sho rter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0 .30 m), the
tone becomes cont inuo us. At th is point you
shou ld stop backing up .
Please note that low objects already s ignalled by
a war ning can d isappear from the system's detec ­
tion range and wi ll not cont inue to be s ignalled .
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same,
the volume of the d istance warning is gradually
reduced after about 4 seconds (th is does not ap ­
ply i n the continous to ne range) . Approaching an­
othe r obstacle will result in the distance warn ing
sounding at the normal volume aga in.
Malfunctions in the system
If a warning tone is audible for about five sec­
o nds when you turn on the ignition, there is a
malfunction in the system . Have the prob lem
cor rected by you r authorized Audi dea le r.
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and
free from ice so that the acoustic park ass ist sys -
tem can function properly . .,.

A WARNING
-The rear view camera does not show the en­
tire area behind the vehicle
¢ page 116,
fig . 132.
Watch out especially for small chil­
dren and animals. The rear view camera can ­
not always detect them, posing risk of an
accident!
- Please note that objects not touching the
ground can appear to be further away than
they really are (for example, the bumper of
a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear
of a truck). In this case, you should not use
the help lines to help with parking, which
poses danger of an accident!
(D Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a warning
can disappear from the system's detection
range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled. Objects such as
barrier chains, trailer draw bars, thin paint­
ed vertical poles or fences may not be de­
tected by the system , posing risk of dam­
age .
- In the MMI display, the direction of travel of
the vehicle rear is represented depending on
the steering wheel angle. The vehicle front
swings out more than the vehicle rear .
Maintain plenty of distance from an obsta­
cle so that your outside mirror or a corner of
your vehicle does not collide with any obsta­
cles -danger of accident!
