Applies to: vehicles with remote park assist plus
Remote controlled parking is part of park assist
plus/park assist plus with garage function. The
process for parking or exiting a parking space can
be controlled with a mobile device from outside
the vehicle. To do so, the driver must have both
the vehicle key and the mobile device with him or
her. While the driver controls the vehicle remote-
ly and monitors the vehicle's surroundings, the
system controls the steering, gear selection, ac-
celeration, braking, and locking the vehicle.

ZX WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 150.

— Remote controlled parking is only an assist
system. The driver is always responsible for
maneuvering, driving, and stopping the ve-
hicle and performing other driving maneu-
vers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— Failing to pay careful attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings increases the risk of an
accident. Sensors and cameras have spots in
which the surrounding area cannot be de-
tected. Objects, animals, and people may
only be detected with limitations may not
be detected at all. Always monitor the traf-
fic as well as the vehicle's surroundings with
direct eye contact. Stay near the vehicle
while controlling it. Make sure you have a
clear view of the vehicle and the area sur-
rounding it. Do not become distracted.
— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: There is a risk of fatal injury for peo-
ple locked in the vehicle, especially children.
The vehicle is locked during remote control-
led parking. Make sure there are no persons
inside the vehicle both before and after us-
ing
remote controlled parking.
— There is a risk of asphyxiation. Never allow
the engine to run in confined spaces. After
remote controlled parking, make sure the
engine is off.
— Malfunctions when using the myAudi app in-
crease the risk of an accident. Do not exit
the app during the parking process, and
make sure that it does not go into the device
background, for example by accepting an in-
coming call. Observe the operating instruc-
tions from the manufacturer of your mobile
device.
— There is a risk of accident if the connection is
interrupted. In certain situations, the con-
nection between the mobile device and the
vehicle can be interrupted, for example from
other radio devices or when the distance to
