Parking system
D iff erent park assist systems may be used for parking or
maneuvering, depending on the vehicle's features .
Parking system (rear)*:
For the parking system, the acoustic par k assist system is installed in
the rear of the vehicle=>
page 163.

Rear acoustic park assist
The rear acous tic park assist warns you of obstacles or
objects behind your car .
Description
The rear a co ustic parki ng assis t sys tem de termines t he d istance o f
the vehicle from an obstacle us ing ultraso nic sensors . There are 4
sensors in the rear bumpe r.
T he range at which the sensors start to measure is
about :
To the side
Center rear
Acti vation
2 ft (0.60 m)
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Aco ustic park ing assis t is activated au tomatically when
rever se gear
is engaged. A brief tone confirms that the system is activated .
Warning tones
Distance warning is given by chimes which are generated by the rear
signal generator . The vo lume and the pi tch of the chimes can be
adjusted in the radio or i n the MMI* =>
page 164 .
Reversing
Distance warn ing when reversing starts when an obstacle is detected
in the range o f th e parking ass ist system . As t he distance decre ases,
the time interva l between the a udible tones becomes shorter .
Whe n the distance is less than 1 ft (0.30 m), the tone becomes
c ont inuo us. A t this point you should stop ba cking up.

Please note that low objects already signa led by a warning can disap­
p ear from the system 's de te ct io n ra nge and will not co nti nu e to be
signaled .
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same, the vo lume of the
dis tance war ning is g radually reduce d after abou t 4 seconds.
Approaching another obstacle wi ll result in the distance warning
so unding at t he normal vo lume aga in.
Malfunctions in the system
If a wa rning tone is aud ible fo r abo ut five seconds when you turn on
the ignition, there is a ma lfunction in the system. Have the prob lem
c o rrected by yo ur autho riz e d Aud i de aler.
Keep the se nsors i n the rear bumper clean and free from ice so t hat
t he a cous tic p ark ass is t sys tem can func tion prope rly.
& WARNING
• Sen sor s have dead space s in whi ch objects cannot be dete cted.
Be especiall y alert for small children and animals , since they are
not alway s detected by the sen sors .
• The Acoustic Par king Sy stem is not a substitute for the dr iver 's
own caution and alertne ss. Ul timate re spon sibility always
rema ins with the drive r dur ing pa rking and similar maneu ve rs .
Always watch where you ar e driving .
• You should alwa ys adjust the volume and frequency of the
c hime s so that you can easily hear the a cou stic distan ce warning
e v en if the radio is playing, the air -cond itioner blower is on High
or there i s a high l evel of outside noi se .
- Check the setting s whenever anyone else ha s driven the
vehi cle b efore you .
0 Note
• Remembe r that low obstacles fo r which a war ning has already
been issued may "dive" below the system's sensing zone if the vehicle
is be ing b acked up closer . In this case, the warn ing so und sh utting off does
not ind
icate that you have cleared the obstacle. Instead, impact
is imm inen t.
• Objects such as tra iler hitches, chains, narrow posts or fences
c overed by a th in laye r of pa int may no t always be detected by the
system . They can still damage your vehicle without warning .
[ i ] Tips
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and free of snow and ice so
that the acoustic parking assist system can function properly .•

General Information

Sensors in the bumper
Fig. 169 Covered area
G:) and uncovered area
@ of the rear-view
camera
Fig. 170 Trunk lid:
Location of the rear­
view camera
Sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers. If these detect an
obstacle, audible and visual signals warn you . The range at which the
sensors begin to measure is approximately:
To the side
Center rear 2 ft (0.60 m)
5.2
ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter the interval between
the audible signals. A continuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away. Do not continue
driving
farther.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same, the volume of the
distance signal chime is gradually reduced after about
4 seconds
(does not affect the continuous signal tone). Approaching another
obstacle will cause the distance signal to sound again at the normal
volume.
Rearview camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the rearview
camera => fig.
169 (D. Objects that are not in the area covered 0 are
not shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with the rear-view camera in a traffic-free location or parking lot to become familiar with the
system, the orientation lines, and their function . When doing this,
there should be good light and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear closer or further away
if:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an incline,
or a downward slope,
• you are driving in reverse gear toward protruding objects,
• the vehicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue surfaces diminishes if:
• the rear-view camera does not provide a reliable image, for
example, in poor visibility conditions or if the lens is dirty,
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflec ­
tion.
Caring for the rear-view camera lens
The rear-view camera is located above the rear license plate bracket.
F or the parking assist to operate, the lens=> fig. 170 must be kept
clean:
• Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-based glass cleaner,
and clean the lens with a dry cloth=>

Intelligent t echnology
'-----------------------------------------------
Servotronic® - advanced power
steering system
The power steering systems uses the power of the
running engine to allow precise steering with little effort .
The advanced Servotronic® power steering system senses the road
speed and ele ct ronically adjusts power assistance to provide
comfortable and safe steering response exactly matched to the
veh icle speed.
Power steering will not work if the engine is off. As a resu lt, the
steeri ng wheel will be hard to turn.
T he power steeri ng fluid level is checked du ring the sched uled main ­
tenance services .
0 Note
If there is an electronic malfunction, servotronic will still function
like a conventional power s teer ing system, provid ing a cons tant
steering support force that is no longer proportionate to the vehicle
speed. This is most noticeable when t urning the s teer ing wheel at low
speeds (for example when park ing), -more effort will be required
than us ua l.
• Be aware of the d ifferent than usual steering response and adjust
your stee ring force accord ingly .
• Have the prob lem checked and set right by an Audi dealer as soon
as possib le.
[ i ] Tips
• When the e ngine is running, neve r hold the stee ring whee l turned
all the way to the right or to the left for longer than 15 seconds. The
powe r steering pump wi ll overheat the hydra ulic fluid if yo u keep
holding the steering wheel turned all the way . This is likely to damage
t he power s teer ing system . •
If the power steering system s hou ld fa il entirely, or if the engine
is no t ru nning (fo r examp le, while be ing towed), you will st ill be able
to steer the vehicle. However,
considerably more effort will be
req uired to do so .
• If the power steering system should have a leak, or is not func­
tioning prope rly, con tact your au thor ized A udi dealer immedia tely.
• The power steer ing system requires a specia lly formulated
hyd raulic fluid. The power steer ing rese rvoir is the one loc ated
farthest to the rear on the left s ide of the eng ine compartme nt
=>
page 281. The correct fluid leve l in the reservo ir is im port an t fo r
proper functioning of the power steeri ng .•
Applies to veh icles: with A ll Whee l D rive
Driving with your quattro ®
With all wheel drive, all four wheels are driven.
CieneraL information
Wi th all wheel drive, power is d istribu ted to all fou r whee ls. This
happens automatically depending on your dr iv ing style and the road
condi tions a t the t ime. See also=>

W inter tires
When driving in the winter, your vehicle with a ll whee l dr ive has an
adv anta ge, eve n w it h regula r tir es. In w inte r road co nditio ns i t may
be advisable to mount winter tires (or all-season tires) for improved
dr iveabili ty and b raking: t hese tires m ust be moun ted on all four
wheels . See also=> page 311, "Winter t ires".

Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
F or your safety, we recommend that you have your autho­
ri zed Audi dealer replace any bulbs for you.
It is becoming increasingly more and more diff icult to rep lace vehicle
ligh t bulbs since in many cases, other parts o f the car must fi rst be
removed before yo u are able to get to the bulb . This applies especially
to the light bu lbs in the front of your car which you can on ly reach
throug h the engi ne compartment .
Sheet meta l and bu lb holders can have sharp edges that can ca use
ser ious cuts, parts must be co rrectly t aken ap art and the n properly
put back together to he lp prevent breakage of parts and long term
d am age fro m water t hat c an enter housings that have no t been p rop­
erly resea led.
For your safety, we recommend that you have you r authorized Audi
dealer replace any bulbs fo r you, since yo ur dealer has t he p roper
too ls, the correct bu lbs and the expertise.
Gas discharge lamp s (Xenon light s)* :
Due to the high electr ica l voltage , have the bulbs replaced by a qual­
ified technicia n. Hea dlights w ith Xenon light are ident ified by the
high voltage sticker .
& WARNING
Changing Xenon lamps w ithout the necessary equipment can
cause serious personal injury.
• Bulbs are pressur ized and can explode when being changed.
Potential risk of injury !
• On vehicles equipped with gas discharge bulbs (Xenon light )*
lif e-threatening injurie s can re sult from improper handling of the
