To ensure that the acoustic parking aid works properly, the
sensors and the lens of the reversing camera must be kept clean
and free of snow and ice. Please observe the additional notes from
⇒page 143 onwards.

Please refer to the notes on towing ⇒page 138.
Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedReversing camera (Rear View)
The reversing camera image in the MMI display shows the
area behind the vehicle.
Parking mode
There are two different parking modes available when you park your
vehicle with the help of the reversing camera. These are referred to
as “Parking mode 1” ⇒page 136 and “Pa r k i n g m od e 2” ⇒page 137.
“Parking mode 1” ⇒fig. 145 can, for example, be used when
parking your vehicle in a carport or a garage ⇒page 136.
“Parking mode 2” ⇒fig. 146 can be used, for example, when
parking your vehicle at the roadside ⇒page 137.
When you activate the reversing camera ⇒page 131 the MMI
display will automatically show “Parking mode 1”. You can switch to
“Parking mode 2” by pressing the control button Mode
⇒page 136, fig. 150. Press the control button Mode repeatedly to
switch between “Parking mode 1” and “Parking mode 2”.
Orientation lines and area markings
Orientation lines and area markings (⇒page 136, fig. 149 and
⇒page 137, fig. 151) are also projected onto the reversing camera
images. They differ, depending on the parking mode you have
selected. These orientation markings are intended to assist the
driver when parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces. They are
projected onto the image at road surface level (not on a gradient).
At the latest when the orientation lines and blue area markings
overlap with vehicles or other objects the distance to the vehi-
cles/objects is no longer sufficient ⇒page 142.
The orientation lines and blue area markings will not be displayed if
the boot lid is open or the factory-fitted power socket for the trailer
is in use ⇒page 138. This may not apply if the power socket was
NOT factory-fitted.
You can adjust the settings in the MMI to select which system you
want to be displayed on the MMI screen ⇒page 140:•

Off (no display).
The reversing camera can be switched on and off in the MMI
⇒page 140. The acoustic proximity warning will, however, remain
activated.
WARNING
•
The reversing camera has blind spots in which obstacles are
not registered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehicle, as the reversing
camera may not always be able to detect them (accident risk).
•
The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle.
•
Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no
longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning. Certain kinds of obsta-
cles (such as wire fences, chains, thin painted posts or trailer draw
bars, etc.) may not always be detected by the system (accident
risk).Note
•
There is a slight delay in the picture display.
•
To ensure that the reversing camera works properly, the lens of
the camera ⇒page 131, fig. 143 must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice. Please observe the additional notes on ⇒page 143.
•
If the boot lid is open the angle covered by the camera will
change. For this reason, the image of the reversing camera will then
be shown without orientation lines and blue area markings.
•
Please refer to the notes on towing ⇒page 138.
Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedDetection range of the reversing cameraThe section of the "Rear View" image shown in the MMI display is
roughly the same as the area covered by the camera as shown in
⇒fig. 147 or in ⇒fig. 148. Objects which are in area
⇒fig. 148 of the reversing camera or in close proximity to the
bumper cannot be identified.

WARNING
Please note that objects which are not touching the ground may
appear to be further away than they actually are (e.g. the bumper
of a parked vehicle, a towing bracket or the rear end of a truck). In
this case you should not use the orientation lines for judging the
distance (accident risk).Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedParking mode 1
“Parking mode 1” can, for example, be used to assist you
when parking in a garage or carport.
– Activate the reversing camera ⇒page 131.
“Parking mode 1” ⇒fig. 149 is the standard setting.
Dynamic orange-coloured orientation lines and static
blue area markings will be projected onto the image
of the reversing camera.
– When the vehicle is stationary, use the orange orienta-
tion lines as a guide for turning the steering to the
correct angle for the parking space.
– Reverse into the space and adapt the steering angle to
the parking space, using the orange lines to assist you
⇒.
– Align your vehicle according to the blue area marking.
The blue area marking should be parallel to the lines of
the parking space ⇒fig. 150. Blue area marking
The marking behind the vehicle (in different shades of blue) is an
extension of the vehicle outline. It reaches about five metres to the
rear of the vehicle. The shade of blue changes at a distance of
approx. 1m, 2m and 5m from the vehicle.
and Orange orientation lines
The orientation lines change direction according to the steering
angle. These lines represent the path which the rear of the vehicle
would take if you were to reverse using the current steering angle.
The dynamic orientation lines also have additional markers
which are spaced approx. 1 metre apart. These markers help you to
judge the distance up to an obstacle.
Red line
The distance from your rear bumper to the red line is approx.
40 cm ⇒. From here at the latest, the driver should not reverse
any further ⇒page 142.

vehicle is standing parallel to the kerb. When reversing
you must also keep a close watch on the front end of the
vehicle ⇒.You can use “Parking mode 2” to park on the left or the right side of
the road. For this reason, the blue markings are shown in various
shades of blue. The dark blue area marking and the dark blue
curve are used when parking on the right side of the road. The
light blue area marking and the light blue curve are used
when parking on the left side of the road.When the turn signals are on, the display will only show the mark-
ings for the relevant side. To change the display to the other side,
just switch on the opposite turn signals.
The light blue and dark blue curves show you when to turn the
steering wheel in the other direction, i.e. when the curve touches
the kerb. ⇒page 137, fig. 152.

Special parking situationsApplies to vehicles: with parking system advancedParking next to an obstacle
When parking next to an obstacle it is important to keep
sufficient distance at the side.When using “Parking mode 2” you can park your vehicle very close
to the kerb of the pavement ⇒page 134, fig. 146.
However, if you are parking, for example, next to a wall, you must
keep a greater distance to the side in order to avoid any collision
damage. Position the long side of the blue area marking in such a
way that there is sufficient distance to the kerb. The area marking
must NOT touch the kerb ⇒fig. 157.
You also have to steer in the opposite direction a lot earlier. This
means that the blue curve ⇒page 137, fig. 152 must not touch the
kerb - make sure there is a sufficient distance to the kerb ⇒.
WARNING
•
Please make sure you keep a sufficient distance between the
vehicle and any obstacles to make sure that the exterior mirror or
edge of the vehicle do not collide with the obstacle (accident risk).

Safety notesApplies to vehicles: with parking systemFault warning for the acoustic parking aidparking system:
If you hear a long beep when you engage reverse gear, the rear
parking aid is not functioning correctly.
parking system plus*/parking system advanced*:
If you hear a long beep for a few seconds when you engage reverse
gear and the diode in the switch
* starts flashing, there is a fault
in the rear and front parking system with graphic display.
You will be notified of a system fault
•
when you manually activate the parking system via the switch
* ⇒page 129•
the first time you engage reverse gear after switching on the
ignition, or
•
immediately, if the fault is identified while you are using the
parking system.Note
If the system alerts you to a fault please have the fault rectified by
an Audi workshop or other qualified workshop.Applies to vehicles: with parking system advancedNotes on reversing cameraWe recommend that you practise parking with the reversing camera
in a quiet location (car park or similar) in order to become familiar
with the system, including the orientation lines and all the other
features. Ideally, the weather and light conditions should be good.Vehicles or other objects shown in the MMI display appear to be
further away or closer, if:
•
you are reversing from a horizontal surface up a gradient or
down a hill,
•
you are reversing towards protruding objects,
•
the vehicle has been loaded with a greater load on the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and the blue area markings
decreases if:
•
the reversing camera does not provide a reliable image, e.g. if
visibility is poor or the lens is dirty,
•
the sun is so dazzling that you cannot see the image on the
display screen.
How to clean the lens of the reversing camera:
•
Moisten the lens using a commercially available, alcohol-based
glass cleaning agent and clean the lens with a dry cloth.
•
Remove snow using a small brush.
•
If possible, use de-icing spray to remove any ice ⇒.
WARNING
•
Even when using the reversing camera, the driver must still
keep a close watch on the area behind the vehicle and use the
mirrors.
•
For technical reasons, the reversing camera cannot show the
complete area behind the vehicle ⇒page 135, fig. 148. It is partic-
ularly important to ensure that there are no small children or
animals near the vehicle, as the reversing camera may not always
be able to detect them (accident risk).
•
The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle.
