Parking and maneuvering

If # is displayed, there is a system malfunction
and the display area represented by that symbol
is not available. The camera is not working in this
area.
If Nis displayed, the respective ultrasonic sensor
is icy or dirty. Clean the area in front of the sen-
sors > page 124, fig. 97.
If one of the symbols continues to be displayed,
drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal-
function repaired.

ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's
surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

©) Note
— The orange orientation lines @) show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be 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.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
G) Tips
— Applies to: vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces on the camera display decreases
when the vehicle is raised or lowered with
the air suspension.
— There is no distance warning for the rear
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is
detected. The front sensors remain activat-
ed. The visual display switches to trailer
mode. The rearview camera image will not
show the orientation lines and the blue sur-
faces. There is no guarantee the functions
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch.

its of the system, the system monitors the areas
behind and next to the vehicle using the radar
sensors when exiting a parking space. Moving ob-
jects that are approaching, such as cars, are de-
tected > fig. 132 > A.
Requirements for using the rear cross-traffic
assist:
— The rear cross-traffic assist must be switched
on in the parking system settings in the MMI

Parking and maneuvering

Displays, warnings, and braking
— Display: the indicator @ in the upper display
only appears when the parking aid is activated.
For vehicles with peripheral cameras, this only
happens in the Rear and Corner view (rear)
camera views. Arrows show the direction from
which the cross traffic is approaching.
— Audible warnings: an audio signal may sound
as an additional warning when driving in re-
verse.
— Automatic brake activation: if you do not react
to a warning, a brief braking by the system can
warn you of a potential collision with an ap-
proaching object.
The audible warning signal and the automatic
brake activation occur only when driving in re-
verse.
Messages
1f EM, Bg or > is displayed when there is a mal-
function, the rear cross traffic assist functions
may be unavailable or may be limited.
A message that indicates the cause and possible
solution may appear with some displays. The
weather conditions may be too poor or a sensor
may be covered. Clean the sensor area in the ve-
hicle rear and try to turn the systems on again
later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.

ZA WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide
alerts about people and cannot warn you
about every type of approaching objects,
such as cyclists. Always monitor the traffic
as well as the vehicle's surroundings with di-
rect eye contact.
— The system may not react if objects are ap-
proaching very quickly.

— The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide
alerts if your vehicle is parallel parked or if
your vehicle is pulled too far into the park-
ing space so that it is hidden by adjacent ve-
hicles.


(i) Tips
— Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot initiate another activa-
tion for several seconds.
—If there is an acoustic warning signal from
the rear cross-traffic assist, then the park-
ing system may not warn you of detected
obstacles under certain circumstances.
— The system is not available when the vehicle
detects that you are towing a trailer. There
is no guarantee the functions will switch off
when using a retrofitted trailer hitch. Do not
use
these functions when towing a trailer.

FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see

wireless charging. Maintain a minimum dis-
tance of approximately 2.4 in (6 cm) to the
Audi phone box charging plate. The thresh-
olds for prolonged exposure at this distance
comply with ICNIRP1998. Therefore, inter-
actions such as irritation of sensory organs,
malfunctions of active implants (such as
pacemakers, infusion pumps, or neurosti-
mulators) or effects on passive implants
(such as prosthetic limbs) is highly unlikely.
If you have an implant, consult a medical
specialist if you have any questions. You can
