Safety tips
The side ass ist detec tion may be l imited w hen d riv ing ar ound
narrow street corners, on hi lly streets, and under poor weather
co nd ition s.
I t is possible that the radar sensors may also detect other objects,
suc h as high o r stagge red guardra ils .
S ide ass ist does not meas ure ac tua l la ne widt h. The syste m
assumes a fi xed lane width . Detection in the left and right lanes is
b ased on this assu med lan e wid th. Whe n driv in g o n na rro w roa ds or
when driving to the left or r ight of the c enter of a trave l lane, it is
po ssi ble that ve hic le s will be detec te d tha t are
no t in th e lane next
to the lane you are using .
& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause colli
sions and serious personal injury:
-Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes .
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to change lanes .
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all condition s
danger of accident!
• Side a ssist cannot detect vehicles in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed , or fall drop back
very quickly.
• The radar sensor's
vision can be redu ced or entirely blocked by
rain, snow , and heavy spray . This can result in side assi st not
adequately detecting veh icles or , in some cases , not detecting
them at all . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
Controls and equip
ment
& WARNING (continued )
• 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 130 km/h).
• Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius less than 328 feet, or 100 ml. • S ide assist is no replacement for the driver' s full attention. The
driver alone is responsible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers . Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .
(D Note
To ensu re that side assist is not adversely affected , you sho uld not
b lock the area on the rear bumper where t he radar s ensors are
located with foreign objects (such as with stickers or bicycle racks) .
[ i ] Tips
If the positions of the radar sensors have been changed as a result
o f a re ar end -c olli sio n, for i nsta nce, have s ide ass ist c hecked by a n
authorized Audi dea ler for safety reasons .•

Malfunctions in the system If a warnin g tone is audib le for about five seconds when you turn on
the ignition, there is a ma lfunction in the system. Have the prob lem
corrected by y our aut horiz ed Aud i deale r.
Keep the sensors in the rear bu mper c lean and free from ice so that
th e acous tic par k ass is t sy stem can f unction properl y.
& WARNING
• Sensors have dead spaces in which objects cannot be
detected . Be especially alert for small children and animals , since
they are not always detected by the sensors.
• The acoustic parking system is not a substitute for the dr iver's
own caution and alertness . Ultimate responsibility always
remains with the driver during parking and similar maneuvers .
Always watch where you are driving .
• You should always adjust the volume and frequency of the
warning tones so that you can easily hear the acoustic distance
warn ing even if the radio is play ing , the air-conditioner blower is
on High or there is a high level of outside noise.
-Check the settings whenever anyone else has driven the
vehicle before you.
0 Note
• Reme mber that low obstacles for wh ic h a war ning has already
been issued may "dive" below the system's sensing zone if the
v ehicl e is be ing backe d up close r. In t his cas e, t he wa rnin g so und shutting off does
not indicate that you have c leared the obstacle .
In stea d, impact is im min ent.

Appl ies t o veh ic les: with parking s ystem (rear, with rear view ca m era)
Switching on /off
The rear view camera switches on automatically together
with the acoustic park assist when you put the vehicle in
reverse.
Switching on
- Put the vehicle in reve rse gear, the acoustic parking
system with rear view camera is activated automatically.
Activation of the acoustic park ing system is confirmed by
a brief acknowledgement sou nd.
Switching off
- Drive faster than 6 mph ( 10 km/h), or
Controls and equip
ment
take t he vehicle out of reve rse gear . The acoustic parking
system is immediate ly deactivated, and t he rear view
camera picture is d eactivated automatica lly after a
period of about 15 seco nds, or
- switch off the ignition .
The delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted
view behind the vehicle especially when maneuvering in tight
parking spaces and prevents the picture from turning off the every
time you shift out of reverse.
I f the warni ng message appears in the display but not the rear view
camera picture, read and confirm the warn ing message. The
acoustic distance signal is a lways ac tive .
I f you press a function button on the MMI termina l, the rear view
camera picture disappears. The rear view camera picture reappears
the next time you park.
Further information on the warning message and the MMI terminal
can be found in the MMI inst ruction booklet.
[ i ] Tips
• The rear view camera picture is available as soon as the MMI
Display or the MMI is switched on, or the start -up phase is
completed.
• Keep the sensors in the rear bumper and the rear view camera
lens clean and free of snow and ice, so that the parking system can
work properly . Please fo llow the additional notes on=>

& WARNING
• The rear view camera does not show the entire area behind the
vehicle~
page 157 , fig. 170. Watch out especially for small chil
dren and animals . The rear view camera cannot 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!
0 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 painted vertical poles or fences may not be detected by
the system, posing risk of damage.
• 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 obstacle so that your ou tside mirror or a corner of
your vehicle does not collide with any obstacles -danger of
accident! •

restraints and for the different models of the same kind of child
restraint offered by child restraint manufacturers.
The weight ranges for the individual types, makes and models of
child restraints that the NHTSA has specified in the Safety Standard
together with the weight ranges of typ ical infants and typical 1 year
old child have been stored in the control unit of the Advanced
Airbag System. When a child restraint is being used on the front
passenger seat with a typical 1 year -old child, the Advanced Airbag
System compares the weight measured by the weight sensing mat
with the information stored in the electronic control unit.
The electronic control unit also registers the tension on the front
passenger safety belt. The tension on the safety belt for the front
passenger seat will be different for an adult who is properly using
the safety belt as compared to the tension on the belt when it is
used to attach a child restraint to the seat. The sensor below the
latch for the safety belt for the front seat passenger measures the
tension on the belt . The input from this sensor is then used with the
weight to "decide" , whether there is a child restraint with a typical 1
year-old child on the front passenger seat and whether or not the airbag must be turned off.•
Child restraints and Advanced Airbags
Regardless of the child restraint that you use, make sure that it has
been certified to meet United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards and has been certified by its manufacturer for use with
an airbag. Always be sure that the chi ld restraint is properly
installed at one of the rear seating positions. If in exceptiona l
circumstances you must use it on the front passenger seat, carefully
read all of the information on child safety and Advanced Airbags
and heed a ll of the applicable WARNINGS. Make certain that the
child restraint is correctly recognized by the weight -sensing mat
inside the front passenger seat, that the front passenger airbag is
turned off and that the airbag status is always correctly signaled by
th e
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light .
Controls and equip
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Many
types and models of child restraints have been available over
the years, new mode ls are introduced regularly incorporating new
and improved designs and older mode ls are taken out of produc
tion. Child restraints are not standardized . Child restraints of the
same type typically have different weights and sizes and different
'footprints,' the size and shape of the bottom of the chi ld restraint
that sits on the seat, when they are installed on a vehicle sea t. These
differences make it virtual ly impossible to certify comp liance with
the requirements for advanced airbags with each and every child
restraint that has ever been sold in the past or will be sold over the
course of the usefu l life of your vehic le.
For this reason, the United States National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration has pub lished a list of specific type, makes and
models of child restraints that must be used to certify compliance
of the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle with the suppression
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. These
child restraints are:
A. Car beds, manufactured on or after September 1,
2004:
• Cosco Dream Ride 02-719
B. Rearward facing child restraint systems,
manufactured on or after September 1, 2004:
(When the restraint system comes equipped with a removable base,
compliance has to be certified with or without the base) .

The system operates across the entire speed range in combination
with the ABS system. If the Anti -Lock Brake System (ABS) ma lfunc
tions, the ESP wil l also shut down .
How the system works
The Anti -Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Differential Lock (EDU
and the Anti -Slip Regulation System (ASR) are integrated in the elec
tronic stabilization program. In addition to the data provided by
th ese functions, the ESP control unit requires additional measure
ment data provided by high performance sensors . The rotational
speed of the vehicle about its vertica l axis, vehicle acceleration in
the fore-and-aft and lateral directions , the brake pressure, and the
steering angle are all measured.
The direction in which the driver wishes to travel is determined with
the aid of the steering angle and vehicle speed and is continua lly
compared with the actual behavior of the vehicle. If the two do not
match, for example, when the vehicle starts hydrop laning on a wet
road, ESP will automatically brake the appropriate whee l to correct
the prob lem.
The vehicle is then stabi lized by the forces acting on the whee l
during braking. If the vehicle is
oversteering (the vehicle turns too
sharply and the rear wheels slide toward th e ou tside of a curve), the
brakes are main ly app lied on the wheel that is on the outside of the
curve . In the case of a vehicle that is
understeering (the vehicle does
not turn sharply enough and pushes out of a curve), the brakes are
applied as needed on the wheel that is on the inside of the curve or
additional ly on the other wheels. An acoustic signal indicates when
ESP brake app lication cuts in=>&.
T he system operates across the entire speed range in combination
with the ABS system =>
page 238. If the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) malfunctions, the ESP will be out of action as well.
Activating
When you turn on the engine, ESP will automatica lly be activated
and will perform a se lf-test. As soon as the test is comp leted, the
system is in norma l operating mode.
Controls and equip
ment Safety first Vehicle operation
Intelligent technology
You
can activate a deactivated ESP or deactivated ESP/ASR if
required by pressing the::::>
page 234, fig. 215 ::::> page 234, fig. 214
button . When they are activated, the message
ESP /ASR on appears
briefly in the display .
Deactivating
The ESP should normally be activated al l the time. If necessary, you
can deactivate Anti -Slip Regu lation (ASR) or the Electronic Stabiliza
tion Program (ESP) by pressing the button=>
page 234, fig. 215.
• Deactivating ASR: Tap the button . In certain exceptional situa
tions (e .g. driving with tire chains), the Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
can be deactivated =>
page 236. The message ASR off appears in the
display as we ll.
• Deact ivating ESP/ASR Press the button for more than 3 seconds.
With the ESP/ASR deactivated, the indicator light comes on, see

& WARNING
The Electronic Stabilization Program is nevertheless subject to the
laws of physics . It is particularly important to pay attention to this
fact on wet and slippery roads. It is therefore important that you
always adapt your driving to the condition of the road and traffic
conditions. Do not allow the increased safety provided by the Elec
tronic Stabilization Program system to lull you into accepting
additional safety risks. •
