Parking systems
General information
Applies to: ve hicles w ith per ip heral cameras
Fig . 149 Location of peripheral cam eras
The four periphe ral cameras are located in the ra
diator grille , in the luggage compartment lid and
on both exterior mirrors
Q fig . 149 . Make sure
that the lenses are not covered by deposits or any
other obstructions as this may impair the system.
For information on cleaning, see
Q page 362.
Black corners are shown in the vehicle silhouette
when in
Surroundings mode. Objects in these
areas are outside of the camera's field of view
and are not detected.
& WARNING
- Always read and follow the applicable warn
ings
Q .&. in General information on
page 141.
- If the position or the installation angle of a camera was changed, for example after a
collision, do not continue to use the system
for safety reasons. Have it checked by an au
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
- Keep in mind that the image in the display is
incorrect if the exterior mirror housing has
been moved out of place .
- Use the
Rear mode and the Corner view
(rear)
mode only when the luggage com
partment lid is completely closed . Other
wise the image in the display will be incor
rect.
- The vehicle surroundings are shown using
the camera images . The vehicle image is
shown by the system. Objects and obstacles above the camera are not displayed.
146
- Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field
of vision. The objects appear both altered
and inaccurate on the screen.
(D Note
-Always read and follow the applicable warn
ings
Q (i) in General information on
page 141.
- The Infotainment disp lay shows the direc
tion in which the rear of the vehicle is travel ing based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
@ Tips
If the 8/~/c:s symbol appears in the dis
play and the respective display area is grayed
out, then the power exterior mirrors
were
folded in or the driver's door/front passeng
er's door/luggage compartment lid was
opened.

Intelligent Technology Electronic stabilization
control (ESC)
Description
Ele ctronic stabilization control (ESC) supports
driver safety . It reduces the risk of slipping and
improves d riving stability. ESC detects critica l sit
uations such as when the vehicle is oversteering
and understeering or the wheels are spinn ing.
T he vehicle is stabilized by applying the brakes or
reducing eng ine torq ue. When the ESC engages,
the
J;,j ind icator light blinks in the instrument
cluste r.
T he follow ing systems are integrated in the ESC:
Ant i-loc k bra king s ystem (ABS)
ABS prevents the whee ls from locking when brak
ing. The vehicle can still be steered even during
hard brak ing. Apply steady pressure to the brake
pedal. Do not pump the pedal. A pulsing in the
b rake pedal indicates that the system is act ing to
stabilize the vehicle .
Br ake a ssist s ystem
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis
tance. It increases brak ing power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit
uations . You must press and hold the brake pedal
unti l the dangerous sit uat io n is ove r. In veh icles
with adaptive cr uise contro l*, the bra ke assist
system is more sensitive if t he d istance detec ted
to the veh icle dr iv ing ahead is too small.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR )
ASR red uces eng ine power when the drive wheels
begin spinning and adapts the force to the road
conditions . This makes it easie r to sta rt, acceler
ate and dr ive up hill s.
Electronic differenti al lock (EDL )
EDL applies the brakes to a wheel that starts
spi nning and t ransfers t he drive powe r to the
;;§ other driving wheels. This f unct ion is not availa-....
~ b lea t higher speeds.
N .... 0 \0
3
In extreme cases , ED L automat ica lly switches off
to keep the brake o n the braked wheel from over
heating. The veh icle is still working correct ly. ED L
will switch on again automatically when condi
tions have returned to normal.
Ste ering recommendation
The ESC he lps to stabilize the vehicle by changing
the steering torque.
In veh icles wi th dynamic steer ing*, ESC also
helps to stab ilize the steer ing in crit ica l sit ua
tions.
Selective wheel torque control
Se lective w heel to rque con trol is used w hen d riv
i ng on curves. Bra king is targeted towa rd t he
whee ls on the inside of the cu rve as needed. This
allows mo re precise driving in curves .
Automatic post -collision braking system
The "automat ic post-collision braking system "
can help to reduce the risk of sliding and of addi
tiona l co llisions after an acciden t. If the a irbag
contro l
module detects a co llision, the veh icle is
braked by the ESC.
T he veh icle does not bra ke automatically if:
- the dr iver presses the acce lerator pedal, or
- the ESC, the brake system or the veh icle elect ri-
cal system are not functioning.
A WARNING
=
- The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the lim its imposed by natural
phys ica l laws. This is especially important
on slippery or wet roads. If the systems be
gin acting to s tabilize yo ur vehicle, you
should immediately alter your speed to
match the road and traffic conditions. Do
not let the inc reased safety provided tempt
you into taking risks. This could increase
your r isk of a coll is ion.
- Please note the ris k of a collis ion increases
when dr iv ing fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when dr iv-
ing too close to objects ahead . The ESC and

Intelligent Technology
CJ) Note
- Neve r let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is not actually
necessary. This causes the brakes to over
heat and increases braking d istance and
causes wear .
- Before driv ing downhill a long distance on a
steep hi ll, decrease your speed and select a
l ower gear. This makes use of the engine
b raking effect and re lieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally , brake in in
te rvals and n ot co nti nu ously .
(J) Tips
-If the b rake booster is no t wo rking, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce th an norma l.
- If you re trofit you r vehicle with a fron t spoil
e r, whee l cove rs o r similar items, ma ke sure
th at t he ai r flow to the fron t wheels is not
i nte rr upt ed . Ot he rw ise the bra ke sys tem
ca n become too hot.

Indicator lights and messages
• Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle
If th is indicator light t urns o n and stays on and

If t he i nd ic ator lig ht tur ns on and the message
a ppears, the stee ring wheel may be more diff i-

necessary if the steering wheel was moved while
the engine was switched off. The disp lay turns
off if the initialization was successf ul.
(D Tips
-If the . or ':r,y indica to r light only stays on
for a sho rt time, you may cont inue driving .

ALL-wheel drive (quattro)
General information
In all whee l drive, the dr iv ing power is dis trib ut
ed betwee n all fou r whee ls w hen needed . This
happe ns automatically depending on your driving
behavior as we ll as the c urrent road con ditions.
A lso see
c:;, page 151, Electronic stabili zation
control (ESC) .
The all-whee l dr ive system distr ibutes the dr iving
power va riably to the front and rear axle. It works
together with selective wheel torq ue control,
which act ivates when dr iv ing through c urves
q page 151. With the sport d ifferent ial*, power
distribution to the rear wheels is var iable and can
be adjusted using the drive select
q pag e 139 .
The all wheel drive concept is designed for high
engine power . Your vehicle is except iona lly pow
