Prewarning
To warn about detected dangers, Audi pre
sense © / {@) will appear in the instrument clus-
ter and an audio signal will sound.
A brief application of the brakes
If a collision is imminent, there may be an acute
warning using a brief application of the brakes.
You
will also be warned about the danger by an
indicator in the instrument cluster display. You
may only be able to avoid a collision by swerving
or braking strongly.
Automatic braking force increase
If there is an impending collision and you are not
applying the brakes enough, the braking force
may be increased, depending on the situation.
Automatic braking
If you do not react to the acute warning, the sys-
tem may apply the brakes with strong braking
force within the limits of the system in order to
reduce the speed of impact in the event of a colli-
sion.
If the brakes are applied until the vehicle is sta-
tionary, © / Please take over! will appear in
the instrument cluster and you must take over
control of the vehicle.

ZA, WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 141.
— Audi pre sense cannot overcome natural
physical laws. It is a system designed to as-
sist and it cannot prevent a collision in every
circumstance. The driver must always inter-
vene. The driver is always responsible for
braking at the correct time. Do not let the
increased safety provided tempt you into >

play that specifies the direction of travel re-
quired to exit the parking space.
> Activate the turn signal on the desired side or
press that side next to the vehicle in the center
display.
» Make sure the actual direction the vehicle is
traveling matches the direction indicated by the
park assist. In the center display, arrows and
symbols on the vehicle roof (2) > page 182,
fig. 145 indicate what action is needed, such as
applying the brakes or changing the direction.
» Remove your hands from the steering wheel.
>» Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If the
traffic situation permits, accelerate carefully
> AX. The maximum speed for exiting a parking
space is 3 mph (5 km/h).
> Follow the visual instructions in the display and
the warning tones until the vehicle has finished
exiting the parking space.
> The process of exiting the parking space has
ended if additional corrective movements are
no longer necessary and the specified steering
wheel angle is sufficient to drive out of the
parking space. Resume control of the steering
wheel >@).

Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 141.
— 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.

@) Note
Resume steering immediately after the last
corrective movement and the takeover
prompt, so that the specified steering wheel
angle is not recentered.
Interrupting the park assists
Applies to: vehicles with park assist
Park assist will be canceled automatically in the
following scenarios:
— You switch the system off.
— You start steering.
— The speed is too high.

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.

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 (J 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 280. 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 271, fig. 180.
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 280
— Tires that are only partially used are replaced
with new tires
Indicator lights
If the @ indicator light turns on, there is a loss
of pressure in at least one tire .> A\ Check the
tires and replace or repair if necessary. Check and

while driving and the @ indicator light in the in-
strument cluster blinks for approximately one
minute and then stays on, there is system mal-
function. Try to store the correct tire pressures
=> page 280. 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.

Z\ WARNING
— If the tire pressure indicator appears in the
display, reduce your speed immediately and
avoid any hard steering or braking maneu-
vers. Stop as soon as possible and check the
tires and their pressure.
— The driver is responsible for maintaining the
correct tire pressure. You must check the
tire pressure regularly.
