Parking next to obstacles
If there is an obstacle (such as a wall) next to
the parking space, position the vehicle so
there is more space on that side. Position the
long side of the blue surface so that there is
sufficient space from the obstacle. The sur­
face must not be touching . You will also need
to start turning the steering wheel much ear­
lier . The blue curve

The left or right orientation lines and sur­
faces will be displayed, depending on the
turn signal being used.
Peripheral cameras
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with parki ng system plus w ith periph­
eral cameras
In addition to parking system plus
r::>page 113, this parking system contains pe-
Parking systems 117
ripheral cameras. Depending on the vehicle
equipment, you are assisted by various views
such as peripheral view, corner views at the
front and rear of the vehicle, and views direct­
ly in front of or behind the vehicle.
General information
Applies to vehicles: with parking system plus with periph­
eral cameras
Fig. 128 Locat ion of per ipheral cameras
Depending on the vehicle equipment , the pe­
ripheral cameras are found in the radiator
grille, in the luggage compartment lid and on
both exterior mirrors*
r::> fig. 128. Make sure
that the lenses are not covered by deposits or
any other obstructions as it may impair the
system. For information on cleaning, refer to
qpage 211.
In the peripheral mode, black corners are
shown in the vehicle silhouette. Objects in
these areas are outside of the camera's field
of view and are not detected .
The accuracy of the orientation lines and the
blue surfaces is reduced if the adaptive air
suspension* is faulty, if the vehicle is lifted or
if the
Dynamic mode is activated 9 page 98.
A WARNING
-Always read and follow the applicable
warnings
r::> .&. in General information on
page 112.
- If the position or the installation angle
of a camera was changed, after a colli­
sion for example, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it checked by your author ized Audi dealer-

You can program the fixed code and rolling
code systems using the described procedure.
Programming the button
.. Turn the ignition on.
.. There are two ways to program a button:
press the button that you would like to pro­
gram . The MMI will display instructions to
guide you through the programm ing . O r

.. Fo llow the instructions in the MMI.
.. If the garage door opening must also be
synchronized with the Homelink module,
refer to the owner's manual for the garage
door opener .
Remote control units for garage door openers
in Canada are set to stop transmitting radio
frequency s ignals after two seconds . This time
may not be sufficient for the Homelink sys­
tem to learn the radio frequency signal. Per­

(D Tips
- The required distance between the hand
transmitter and the Homelink mod ule in
the radiator grille~
fig. 142 depends on
the system that you are programm ing .
- Depending on the mode l of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program­
ming a new device, keep the button
pressed for at least 15 seconds before
trying again with the transmitter in a dif­
ferent position.

-Always carefully follow instru ctions from
c hild restraint manufacturers when in­
sta lling child restraints.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must
install a forward or rearward-facing child
restraint on the front passenger's seat:
- Improper installation of child restraints
can reduce their effectiveness or even
prevent them from providing any protec­
tion.
- An improperly installed child restraint
can interfere with the airbag as it de­
ploys and seriously injure or even kill the
child - even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
- Always carefully follow the manufactur­
er's instructions provided with the child
seat or carrier .
- Always make sure that there is nothing
on the front passenger seat that will
cause the capacitive passenger detection
system in the seat to signal to the Airbag
System that the seat is occupied by a
person when it is not, or to signal that it
is occupied by someone who is heavier
than the person actually sitting on the
seat. The presence of additional objects
could cause the passenger front airbag
to be turned on when it should be off, or
could cause the airbag to work in a way
that is different from the way it would
have worked without the object on the
seat .
Airbag system 149
Front airbags
Description of front airbags
The airbag system can provide supplemental
protection to properly restrained front seat occupants.
Fig. 156 Loc ation of driver airbag: in steering w heel
Fig. 157 Loc ation of front passenger's a irbag: in the in·
strument panel
Your vehicle is equipped with an "Advanced
Airbag System" in compliance with United
States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 as applicable at the time your
vehicle was manufactured. The system senses
the position of the front seats and controls
front airbag inflation with a valve, depending
on the distance between the respective seat
and the steering wheel or instrument panel.
The safety belts for the seats have "preten­
sioners" that help to take slack out of the belt
system. The pretens ioners are also activated
by the electronic control unit for the airbag
system .
The front safety belts also have load limiters
to help reduce the forces applied to the body
in a crash.
The airbag for the driver is in the steering
wheel hub

front passenger is in the instrument panel

.&_ WARNING
An airbag system that is not functioning
properly cannot provide supplemental pro­
tection in a frontal crash.
- If the airbag indicator light

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light will blink
for about 5 seconds when:
- t he igniti on is sw itched on and
- t he capac itive passenger detection system,
whi ch swit ches the front sea t passenger's

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light will
show the status of the front seat passenger 's

When the malfunction indicator is illuminat­
ed, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea ­
sons, including the installation of replace­ ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehi ­
cle that prevent the TPMS from function ing
properly . Always check the TPMS malfunction
tellta le after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re­
placement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Tire pressure indicator appears
Applies to vehicles: with tire pressure monitoring system
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too
low or if there is a system malfunction.
Fig. 196 Display : underinflatio n warning
Fig. 197 Display : Syste m malfun ctio n
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure moni ­
toring system compares the tire tread circum­
ference and vibration characteristics of the in­
dividual tires . If the pressure decreases in one
or more tires , th is is indicated in the instru­
ment cluster with a warning symbol
RE and a
message

The tire pressure monitoring system must be
reset via MMI each time the pressures are ad-

sure that you have previously stored. You can
find the recommended tire pressures for your
vehicle on the label on dr iver's side B-pillar

Tire tread circumference and vibration charac­
teristics can change and cause a tire pressure

- the tire pressure in one or more tires is too
low,
- the tire has structural damage,
- the tire pressure was changed, wheels rotat-
ed or replaced but the TPMS was not reset

A WARNING
-If the tire pressure ind icator appears in
