When the turn signal is switched on, only the necessary surfaces
and curves are shown. To change the side that is shown, simply
change the turn signal.
The displayed light blue® or dark blue © curved line identifies the
turn-around point when maneuvering to park. If the curved line
touches the curb, the steering wheel turn -around point has been
reached =>
page 177, fig. 182.
The distance from the rear bumper © to the red line@ is approxi­
mately
1.3 ft (40 cm). Here, at the latest, you should stop backing up
=>
page 179.
& WARNING
Please note that objects not touching the ground can appear to be
further away than they really are (for example, the bumper of a parked vehicle, a trailer hitch, or the rear of a truck).
In this case,
you should not use the guide help lines to measure distance -
danger of accident!
0 Note
In the MMI Display, the direction of travel of the vehicle rear is repre­
sented depending on the steering wheel angle. The vehicle front
swings out more than the vehicle rear .
[ i] Tips
• In order for the rear-view camera to function properly, the
camera lens=>
page 171, fig. 174 must be kept clean, and free of
snow and ice. Please follow the additional notes on=>
page 182.
• The positions of the orientation lines/ surfaces are displaced up
or down if the parking process is carried out with the rear-view
camera in Adaptive Air Suspension*=>
page 20 dynamic, off -road,
or lift mode. Therefore, the accuracy is reduced. •
Special parking situations
Applies to vehicles : with Audi Parkin g System (rea r) and rear-view camera
Parking next to obstacles
When parking next to an obstacle, enough distance must
left on the side.
=
Fig. 183 Top view:
Parking next
to a brick
wall
With "parking mode 2", you can park very closely to a sidewalk curb
with your vehicle=>
page 173, fig. 176.
However, when parking next to an obstacle, such as a brick wall, a
larger side distance must be selected in order to prevent collision
damage to the vehicle. Position the long side of the marked blue
surface so that there is enough distance from the curb; the surface
must not touch the curb=> fig.
183 .
Also, the turning process has to occur considerably sooner. This
means that the corresponding blue curved line=>
page 177, fig. 182
must not touch the curb, but should rather be at a distance far
enough from the curb=>&.
& WARNING
• Keep plenty of distance from an obstacle, so that your outside
mirror or a corner of your vehicle does not collide with any obsta-
cles -danger of accident! ..

Rear-view camera tips
We recommend that you practice parking with t he rear -view camera
in a traff ic -free location, or parking lot, to become fami liar with the
system, the orientati on line s, a nd th eir functi on. When doi ng this,
there should be good light and weather conditions.
In the MMI Display, objects or vehicles ap pea r closer or further away
i f:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an
inc lin e, o r a downwa rd sl ope,
• you are driving in reverse gear toward protruding objects,
• the ve hicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue surfaces diminishes if :
• the Adaptive Air Suspension* is defective, or th e dynamic, off ­
road, o r lift mode is swi tched on,
• the rear -view camera does not provide a reliable image, for
exam ple, in po or vi sibi lit y c ondi tio ns or if the lens is dirt y,
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun g lare and reflec ­
t ion .
Caring for the rear-view camera lens:
• Dampen the lens with a household a lcoho l- based g lass c leaner,
and c lean th e lens wit h a dry cl oth.
• Remove snow with a hand brush.
• Remove ice, preferably with de -icing spray~
0.
& WARNING
• The rear-v iew camera does not replace the view to the rear and
the rear view mirrors .
• The rear-view camer a - because of technical limitat ions -does
not show the entire area behind the vehicle~
page 175 , fig. 178.
& WARNING (continued )
Be especially careful to che ck for small children and animals
before backing up . Small children and animals will not alway s be
shown in the rear-view display .
• The Audi Parking System is not a sub stitute for being careful
and alert when back ing up . Be especially careful during parking
and similar maneuver s. Always watch where you are driving and
make su re that nothing is in the way .
• Do not allow yourself to be distracted from traffic by the rear ­
view camera pi ctures .
• When maneuvering or parking , do not only u se the MMI Display
for orientat ion . Certain obje cts - depending on the screen resolu­
tion -may not, or not entirely, be displayed ; for example tr ailer
hitches , cha ins , narrow posts , or fences .
• Only use the rear -view camera for aid if it shows a good , clear
picture . The image may be obscured , for example , by the sun
shining into the lens, dirt on the lens, or as the result of a defect -
danger of accident!
• If the image i s hazy when the MMI Display is switched on or the
area behind the vehicle is not visible (for e xample , as the result of
a dirty or defective lens ), the rear -view camera must not be used
for aid in maneuver ing - danger of accident!
• The rear -view camera generates two -dimensional images . For
this reason , please note that recesses in the ground and
protruding parts on another vehicle , or protruding objects fixed to
the ground , will be more difficult or impossible to recognize on the
MMI Di splay, due to the missing spacial depth .
• If the position and the installation angle of the camera has
changed, for example , after a rear end collision , do not continue to
use the system for safety reasons . Have it checked by an autho­
rized Audi dealer or qualified work shop .
• Only use the rear-v iew camera when the rear lid is fully closed .
Make sure that objects mounted on the rear are not obscuring the
camera v iew .

Se lect the automatic mode i f you p refer suspension and damping
settings emphasizing comfort .
• Low ering : When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded
for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered by about 0.6 inch (15 mm) to the dynamic level which is more suitable
for highway speeds. Road holding is optimized as a result of the lower center of gravity and fuel consumption is reduced as a result
of reduced wind res istance.
• Rais ing : The vehicle is automatically raised again if the speed
falls below about 44 mph (70 km/h) for a period of 2 minutes . The
vehic le is raised immediate ly when speed falls below about 22 mph
(35 km/h).
s ta nd ard
Select the standard mode if you desire a suspension setting with a
special emphasis on comfort. In the standard mode there is
no
lowering of the suspension. Even a t high speeds, the vehicle stays
at the same level. Damping characteristics with a decided emphasis
on comfort are selected in this mode.
Controls and equip ­

y n ami c
Select the dynamic mode if you prefer a sporty suspension setting .
In this mode, the vehicle is lowered whi le it is still stationary and
spo rty damping characteristics are selected . The warn ing light
c.::i
in the instrument cluster will come on for a few seconds just to
remind you of the reduced ground clearance .
If y ou switch off the engine wh ile the ve hicle is in the dynamic mode
and then switch on the ignition once again, the
c.::i warning light
wi ll also come on again f or a few seconds as a reminder .
lift
Select the lift mode when you have to travel over poor sect ions of
road (e .g. trails). In the lift mode, the vehic le is raised by 0.6 inch (15
m m) compared to norma l leve l while it is stil l stationary and
damping characteristics are adjusted to emphasize comfort .
The lift mode can be activated only at speeds below 50 mp h (80
km/h) . When a speed of about 62 mph (100 km/h) is exceeded, the
system automatical ly leaves lift mode and the mode set previously
(standard, automat ic, dynam ic) is activated aga in. •
