Audi active lane assist: currently unavaila­

ble.
No camera view
This message is displayed when the camera is no
longer functional after the system has continu­
ously failed to detect the lane markings. This can
have the following causes:
-The outside of the camera window
^page

Fig. 115 is dirty or frosted. Remove dirt or ice
from this area of the windscreen.
- The inside of the camera window is misted up.
In this case, wait for the camera window to de­
mist before switching on the active lane assist
system again.
- Due to the road conditions, the system has not
been able to detect the lane markings for a
long period. Do not switch the active Lane assist
system on again before the lane markings are
discernible.

Q
Audi active lane assist: currently unavailable
A temporary fault is preventing the active lane
assist system from functioning. Try switching on
the active lane assist system again later.

steering.

This message will appear if
you
do not steer the
vehicle yourself. The active lane assist is switched
on but not ready to warn. If the driver still does
not react, the system warns additionally with a
short sharp application of the brakes and
acti­

vates the emergency assist*

Parking aids
Parking aids
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/reversing camera/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicLe.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car

cépage
135.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicLe

^page
135.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys­
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. This picture
helps you to park the vehicle parallel or perpen­
dicular to the roadside. In addition, you are assis­
ted by the functions of the parking system plus

^>page
137.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicLe into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb
^>page
139. It
also includes the functions of the parking system
plus
^page
135 and additionally monitors the
area at the side of the vehicle
(f) ^page
135,
Fig. 124.

A
WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicLe. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­

vres.

- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system - risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have bLind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis­

tered.
It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicLe - risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicLe and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.

(T)
CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­

tures,
such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note
that
you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel

rims.

(T)
Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
-To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend
that
you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can change the display and adjust the
volume and pitch of the beeps

General notes on page 134.
- For safety reasons, you should not use the
system if the position and installation angle
of the reversing camera have been changed,

e.g.
due to an accident. Have it checked by a
qualified workshop.
- Only use the reversing camera to assist you
if it is supplying you with a good and clear
picture. The quality of the picture can be im­
paired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a
defect.
- Only use the reversing camera when the
boot lid is completely closed. The orienta­
tion lines and blue markings are not shown
when the boot lid is open. Please make sure
that there are no objects mounted to the
rear end of the vehicle which could block the
view of the reversing camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of
vision.
Objects on the screen are
modified and depicted inaccurately.
- In certain situations, people or objects on
the display may appear closer or further
away than they really are:
- Objects which are not touching the

ground,
such as the bumper of
a
parked
vehicle, a tow-bar or the rear end of
a

truck. In this case, do not use the orienta­
tion Lines as a guide.
- When you are reversing from a horizontal
surface up a gradient or down a
hill.

-When approaching protruding objects.
- When the vehicle has been loaded with a
greater load on the rear.

Care of vehicle and cleaning
Care of vehicLe and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicLe. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
Qualified workshops carry stocks of suitable car
care products. PLease
foLLow
the instructions for
use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan­
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.

+) For
the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house­
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues like insects, bird droppings,
resinous tree sap or road salt are alLowed to re­
main on the vehicle, the more damage they can
do to the paintwork. High temperatures (for in­
stance in direct sunlight) further intensify the
damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicLe washed thor­
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
the operating pressure and the spraying dis­

tance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the
seals on the windows, doors, boot lid, bonnet or
panorama sun roof*, or at the tyres, rubber ho­

ses,
insulating material, sensors* or camera
len­

ses*.
Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-
jet nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows and panorama sun roof*
are closed and that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. Follow the car wash operator's rules
and recommendations, especially if any accesso­
ries are attached to your vehicle.
If possibLe use a brushless car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start­
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent-
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In­

sects,
grease stains and fingerprints are best re­
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt-
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro-
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois. •

Care of vehicle and cleaning

A.
WARNING
- Follow the rules and recommendations of
the car wash operator and do not wash the
vehicLe with the ignition switched on - risk
of accident!
- To avoid cutting yourself on sharp metal

parts,
always wear suitable protection when
cleaning the underside of the car or inside
the wheel arches.
- After the car has been washed, the full brak­
ing effect can be delayed by moisture (or in
winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads -
risk of accident! The brakes should be dried
by pressing the pedal to restore full braking
effect.
© CAUTION
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Always
use the electrical power controL to fold the
mirrors in/out on vehicles with electrically
retractable exterior mirrors*.
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight -
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
- Do not use insect sponges or abrasive
household sponges, etc. - they can damage
the surfaces.
- Matt-painted vehicle parts:
- Do not use polish or wax - otherwise the
paintwork can be damaged.
- Never use car-wash programmes that in­
clude wax coatings. This could spoil the
matt finish.
- Do not attach any stickers or magnet la­
bels to matt-painted parts as these could
damage the paintwork when they are re­

moved.

® For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special wash

bays.
This prevents oily water from getting in­
to the public drains.
