parking sensors AUDI Q3 2019 User Guide

Parking and maneuvering


— Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot brake automatically
again 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.
— For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see
=> page 261.
Assisted parking
(er eee)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist, this
system helps you find suitable parking spaces.
Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic
sensors on the sides of the vehicle.
If a parking space is found, the system helps you
to park while the driver monitors the vehicle's
surroundings with the parking aids, cameras”,
and direct eye contact. The vehicle moves the
steering wheel autonomously.

Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.

@ Exiting parallel parking spaces

You can also drive into a perpendicular park-
ing space yourself and then activate the sys-
tem. If this is the case, the front of the vehi-
cle should already be in the space (4) so that
the sensors can measure the space.

Switching on the parking space search
> To turn on the parking space search, press the
Pe button © fig. 117, or
> To turn on the parking space search when the
parking system is switched on, select P@ in the
center display.
The LED in the button will turn on and the display
for finding a parking space will appear in the cen-
ter display > fig. 118.
Searching for parking spaces
> Drive forward to the row of parking spaces ata
low speed. For the best parking results, the ve-
hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from
the row of parking spaces.
> The parking space search is first done on one
side of the lane. To switch the side to park on,
turn on the turn signal for the other side or tap
that side next to the vehicle in the center dis-
play.
Selecting the parking space
If the system finds a parking space that could be
suitable for the vehicle length and width, it will
be displayed. The system automatically suggests
a parking option @.
If the parking space allows different parking op-
tions, they can be selected manually. Select one
of the suggested parking options (@) in the center
display.
Starting the parking process
As soon as the vehicle has reached the correct po-
sition, a P will appear in the center display above
the selected parking space @). The roof in the
parking system display (2) may show the required
braking or driving direction.
> Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.
>» Make sure that the parking space is suitable for
your vehicle >@).
Start parking using the park assist > page 136.
Maneuvering area
The vehicle can go off course during the parking
process > A\. If there are obstacles within the
maneuvering area that block or endanger the
parking process, for example on the opposite
side of the street, a message may appear. You
may need to drive farther forward and stay closer
to the row of parking spaces.

A WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— 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.

CG) Note
— Parking spaces classified as suitable by the
system may have been detected incorrectly.
135

Parking and maneuvering

The driver must decide if the parking space
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.
— Certain conditions near the parking space
may cause the parking process to fail, such
as if the parking space is near trees or posts,
or if the ground is covered, for example,
with gravel, snow, or ice.
G) Tips
— If you did not drive past a suitable parking
space too quickly, you can also select Pe to
activate the system afterwards.
— The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
must not be switched off during the parking
process. If the ESC intervenes, the parking
process
will be canceled.
— You can also drive into a perpendicular park-
ing space yourself and then activate the sys-
tem. If this is the case, the front of the vehi-
cle should already be in the space (4)
= page 134, fig. 116 so that the sensors
can measure the space.
— You cannot park with the parking assist sys-
tems when you are towing a trailer or have
the connector inserted in the trailer socket.
— The system is not available when certain as-
sist systems are switched on.
— If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the street, for example on a one-
way street, you can change the side where
the system is searching for parking spaces
by activating the turn signal for the other
side or by pressing on that side in the center
display.
— The park systems do not provide support for
assisted parking on tight curves.
Park assist
(eT eeeeue lela)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
The park assist helps you when parking and exit-
ing parking spaces after the parking space
search. The park assist takes over the steering of
the vehicle while the driver accelerates, brakes,
and
monitors the vehicle's surroundings. Park as-
sist can be interrupted at any time.
136

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— 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
— Do not use the park assist systems when
transporting cargo that extends out of the
vehicle, when snow chains are mounted, or
when the parking space is on a hill or in-
cline.

— Park assist guides the vehicle either away
from curbs or onto them if other vehicles
are parked on the curb. Make sure that your
vehicle's tires and rims are not damaged.
Resume control of the vehicle in time or
stop the parking process if needed to pre-
vent damage.
G) Tips
Follow the legal regulations in the country
where you are located when using Park assist.

Requirement: a suitable parking space must be
found and selected > page 134. The vehicle must
initially be stationary.
> Select the reverse gear after stopping briefly.
> Remove your hands from the steering wheel.
> Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If the
traffic situation permits, accelerate carefully

Parking and maneuvering

> Follow the visual instructions in the center dis-
play and the warning tones until the parking
process has ended.
> The indicators in the center display show the
necessary direction of travel. Drive in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrows or symbols on the
roof in the parking aid image @) & page 135,
fig. 118.
Park assist automatically steers the vehicle into
the parking space while the driver presses the
pedals. The maximum parking speed is approxi-
mately 4 mph (7 km/h).

Z\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 104.
— The park assist is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist to drive into or out
of a parking space, the steering wheel turns
quickly on its own. Reaching into the steer-
ing wheel spokes while this is happening can

result in injury.
@ Tips
You can also cancel the direction of travel
specified by the system by switching between
forward and reverse gears. Based on the posi-
tion of the vehicle, the system then calculates
the additional steering and driving directions
for maneuvering.

no longer necessary and the specified steering
wheel angle is sufficient to drive out of the
parking space. Resume control of the steering
wheel >@).
Park assist automatically steers the vehicle out of
the parking space while the driver presses the
pedals. The maximum speed for exiting a parking
space is 3 mph (5 km/h).
