When setting the distance , the driver is responsible for adhering
to the respective national and country -specific regulations.
• Following other vehicles too closely increases the risk of colli­
sions and serious personal injury .
• Setting short distances to the traffic ahead reduces the time
and distance available to bring your vehicle to a safe stop and
makes it even more necessary to pay close attention to traffic .
• Always use good judgment and select a safe following distance
for the traffic , road and weather conditions.

App lies to vehicles : with automat ic transm ission
Dynamic shift program (DSP)
The aut omatic transmission is electronically controlled.
The transmission is se lf adapting and will a ut oma tica lly se lect the
best shift program suited to the driving conditions and driving style.
The transmission will select one of the
eco nom y programs when
you drive at a steady speed or a g radually changing speed without
heavy acceleration. This achieves optimum fuel efficiency, with early
upshifting and delayed downshifting.
The transmission will automatically select the
s p ort y shift programs
when you drive at higher speeds, or with heavy acceleration and
frequent ly changing speeds . Upshifts are delayed to make full use
of engine power . Downshifting takes place at higher engine speeds
than in the economy programs .
The se lect ion of the most su itable shift program is a continuous,
automatic process. The driver can also make the transmission
sw itch to a sporty program by
quick ly pressing down the gas peda l.
This causes the transmission to shift down to a lower gear to
achieve rapid acceleration, e.g. for quickly passing another vehicle .
You do not need to press the gas pedal into the kick-down range.
After the transm ission has upshifted, the original program is
selected accord ing to your driving sty le.
An additiona l shift program allows the automatic transmission to
select the proper gear for uph ill and downhi ll gradients. ..,.

Please note that low objects already signalled by a warning can
disappear fro m the system 's detectio n range and wil l n ot con tinu e
to be signa lled .
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same, the vo lume of the

Approaching another obstacle wi ll result in the distance warning
sound ing at th e nor mal vo lume agai n.
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.
• Objects such as trai ler hitches, chains, narrow posts or fences
cov ered by a t hin lay er of p ain t may no t always be detecte d by t he

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.

The physical principles are simple. Both the vehicle and the passen­
gers possess energy which varies with vehicle speed and body
we ight. Engineers cal l this energy "kinetic energy ."
T he higher the speed of the vehicle and the greater the vehic le's
we ight, the more energy that has to be "absorbed" in the crash .
Vehicle speed is the most significan t factor. If the speed doubles
from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50 km/h), the energy increases 4 times! .,
