maneuvering
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The parking system plus assists you while park-
ing using audio and visual signals to warn you
about objects detected in front of, behind, and at
the sides* of the vehicle > page 160.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the MMI display. The lines in the rear-
view camera image help you to park and maneu-
ver > page 162.
The peripheral cameras are an addition to the
rearview camera and help you to see various
areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-
neuvering > page 162.
The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-
proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or
exiting a parking space > page 166.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.

@® Tips
Practicing parking in a traffic-free location or
parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tems is recommended. Practice parking in
good light and weather conditions.

Applies to: vehicles with parking system plus

Fig. 126 Upper display: distance indicator
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
Audio signals
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig-
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than
approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the
sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for-
ward or in reverse 9>Q.
The audio warnings can be switched off until the
next time the parking aid is switched on by press-
ing “lon the upper display. The volume can be
changed in the settings L-] > page 167.


Visual warnings
The visual warnings in the upper display help you
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate
the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (@) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines 2) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment (8) indicates a
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. As your vehicle comes closer to the obsta-
cle, the segments move closer to the vehicle. The
collision area has been reached when the next to
last segment is displayed. Obstacles in the colli-
sion area, including those outside of the vehicle's
path, are shown in red. Do not continue driving
farther.
Error messages
If a sensor or speaker is faulty, P4 will appear in
the MMI. Drive immediately to an authorized Au-
di dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have the malfunction repaired.
If Avis displayed in the MMI, the ultrasonic sen-
sor indicated is icy or dirty. Clean the area in front
of the sensors > page 124, fig. 97.

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.

— 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

You have various options for this depending on
the vehicle equipment and the range of functions
on your cell phone.
Handsfree
Once you have connected your mobile device to
the MMI via Bluetooth, you can use the hands-
free system. You can make calls using the anten-
na on your mobile device.
Car phone function)
Applies to: vehicles with car phone
In conjunction with Audi connect Infotainment*,
the car phone function is available via an embed-
ded mini SIM card.
With the car phone function and the Audi phone
box*, calls are made using the exterior antenna
on the vehicle. Using the external antenna helps
when there is a low signal and also provides bet-
ter reception quality > page 171.


or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter > page 17,
Traffic safety information.


Z\ WARNING

Wheels

check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving ona signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's re-
sponsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres-
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the sys-
tem is not operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

appears
The tire pressure indicator in the instrument
cluster informs you if the tire pressure is too low
or if there is a system malfunction.
Using the ABS sensors, the tire pressure monitor-
ing system compares the tire tread circumference
and vibration characteristics of the individual
tires. If the pressure changes in one or more
tires, this is indicated in the instrument cluster
display with an indicator light @ and a message.
If only one tire is affected, the location of that
tire will be indicated.
The tire pressures must be stored again each
time you change the pressures (switching be-
tween partial and full load pressure) or after
changing or replacing a tire on your vehicle
=> page 262. The tire pressure monitoring system
only monitors the tire pressure you have stored.
Refer to the tire pressure label for the recom-
mended tire pressure for your vehicle
=> page 253, fig. 165.
Tire tread circumference and vibration character-
istics can change and cause a tire pressure warn-
ing if:
— The tire pressure in one or more tires is too low
— The tires have structural damage
— The tire was replaced or the tire pressure was
changed and it was not stored > page 262
— Tires that are only partially used are replaced
with new tires

driving and the @ indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster blinks for approximately one minute
and then stays on, there is system malfunction.
Try to store the correct tire pressures
= page 262. In some cases, you must drive for
several minutes after storing the pressures until
the indicator light turns off. If the indicator light
does turn off or turns on again after a short peri-
od of time, drive to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility immediately to
have the malfunction corrected.

ZX WARNING
— If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking

Accessories and technical changes

Technical Modifications
Interference with electronic components, their
software, the wiring, and data transfer may cause
malfunctions. Because of the way electronic com-
ponents are interconnected, such malfunctions
can also impair systems that are not directly in-
volved. This means that you risk both a substan-
tial reduction in the operational safety of your ve-
hicle and increased wear of vehicle components.
Some convenience functions, such as the conven-
ience turn signal function, individual door open-
ing function, and displays, can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If functions
are reprogrammed, the information and descrip-
tions about these functions in this Owner's Man-
ual may no longer apply to the changed func-
tions. Audi recommends that an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility perform
and verify any reprogramming procedures.

Z\ WARNING
Maintenance procedures, repairs, or technical
modifications that are performed incorrectly
increase the risk of an accident and can lead
to serious injuries.

Z\ WARNING
The engine/motor compartment in any motor
vehicle is a potentially dangerous area and can
cause serious personal injury.
— Always use extreme caution when doing any
work in the motor compartment. Always fol-
low commonly accepted safety practices and
use common sense. Never risk personal in-
jury.
— Never perform any work in the motor com-
partment unless you know exactly how to
carry out the job and have the correct tech-
nical information and the correct tools.
— If you are uncertain about what to do, have
the work performed by an authorized Audi
dealer, an authorized Audi Service Facility,
or another qualified workshop. Serious per-
sonal injury may result from improperly per-
formed work.

CG) Note
— Maintenance procedures, repairs or techni-
cal modifications that are performed incor-
rectly can cause damage to the vehicle, such
as corrosion.
— If emergency repairs must be performed,
take your vehicle to an authorized Audi deal-
er or authorized Audi Service Facility as soon
as possible.
— Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle
resulting from failure to comply with these
guidelines.
(@) For the sake of the environment
— Regular maintenance can help protect the
environment.
— Technical modifications to the vehicle may
have a negative affect on energy use.
