A WARNING
-Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle . Side assist cannot
replace a dr iver's attention . The dr iver alone
is a lways responsible for lane changes and
s imi lar d riving maneuvers.
- In some situat ions, the system may not
funct ion or its f unct io n may be lim ited. For
example :
- If vehicles are approaching or being left
behind very quickly. The display may not
turn on in time .
- In poor weather conditions such as heavy
rain, snow or heavy mist.
- On very wide lanes, in tight curves, or if
there is a rise in the road surface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
because they are outs ide of the sensor
range .
@ Note
The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the bumper, whee l housing and
underbody . Th is can impa ir the system . Have
an author ized Audi dealer or authorized Aud i
Serv ice Facility check their function .
@ Tips
-If the window glass in the driver's door or
front passenger 's door has been tinted, the
display in the exterior mirror may be incor­
r ect.

Parking aid
Parking aid
General information
A pplies to: ve hicles w ith a rea r parking sys te m /parking sys­
tem p lus/rearv iew camera/peripheral cameras
Depending on your vehicle's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The parking system plus assists you when park ­
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 131.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display. The lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver
¢ page 133.
The peripheral cameras give various views to
help you when parking or maneuvering
¢ page 135 . The parking system plus functions
are also available ¢
page 131.
_& WARNING
-Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park­
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
-
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect­
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur­ roundings, using the rearview mirror as
well.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park ­
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
130
ized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion .
@ Note
-Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- objects above the sensors such as wall ex­
tensions
- objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low ob­
ject, it may disappear from the sensor range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to re­
duce the risk of damage to the rims .
(D Tips
-The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover­
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
- external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
- in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex­
haust
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be­
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals
and the display ¢
page 138.
-Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 139.
-What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate.
- The rearview camera is cleaned when clean­
ing the rear window

Rear parking system
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with rear park ing aid
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid .
Description
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you .
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick­
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the function of the system . For informa­
tion on cleaning, see
c::;, page 344 .
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
side 3 ft (0.90 m)
rear
center 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals . A con­
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not continue backing up
c::;, &. in General infor­
mation on page 130,
c::;, (D in General information
on page
130!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually lowers after a few seconds until it is muted (this
is not apply in the continuous tone range). If the
obstacle becomes closer than it was before the
sound was muted, the tone will sound again . If
the obstacle is farther away than it was before
the sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay at­
tention to the vehicle 's surroundings when you
start to drive.
Switching on automatically
The system switches on automatically when re­
verse gear is engaged while the engine is run­
ning. A brief confirmation tone will sound.
