- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
quickly, or if
you
are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up
intime.

- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy

rain,
snow or road spray.
- If
you
are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system
may not detect vehicles in the adjacent
lane because they are outside the area
covered by the sensors.
© CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by
a
qualified workshop.
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
Switching on/off
Applies to: vehicles with Audi side assist

The
system can be switched on and off
on
the in­
fotainment system.

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
^>page
143.
- Please refer to the notes on the use of a
towing bracket
^page
144.
- There is a slight delay in the picture dis­
played on the infotainment display. •

General notes
Safety is the first priority
The safety features in your vehicle are harmon­
ised to provide you and your passengers with the
best possible protection in accident situations.
However, they can only be effective if you and
your passengers sit in the correct position and
adjust and use the safety equipment properly.
For these reasons, this chapter explains why
these safety features are so important, how they
can protect you, what you need to remember
when using them, and
how
you and your passen­
gers can gain the most benefit from them. There
are also a number of important safety warnings
which you and your passengers should always ob­
serve in order to minimise the risk of injury.
WARNING
- The information in this chapter is important
for the driver of the vehicle and all passen­

gers.
The other chapters in this manual

(and,
where applicable, in the other litera­
ture supplied with the vehicle) contain fur­
ther important notes which you should read
and observe for your own safety and that of
your passengers.
- Ensure that the complete vehicle wallet is
always in the vehicle. This is especially im­
portant when you lend or sell the vehicle to
others.

What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to
how
you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
• The driver is responsible for the safety of the
vehicle and all its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired in any way, you endanger
yourself and other road users

paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
• Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the
vehi­

cle in front.

•
Always adjust your speed to suit the
road,
traf­
fic and weather conditions.

•
Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours without a stop.

•
If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or

stressed.

Vehicle battery

The
term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period
