Driving
keep your foot on the brake in all selector
lever positions (except P) when the engine is
running. Otherwise, this increases the risk
of an accident.
- Do not inadvertently press the accelerator
pedal when the vehicle is stopped if a gear is
engaged. Otherwise the vehicle will start to
move immediately, even if the parking brake
is set . This could result in a crash.
- Do not press the accelerator pedal when changing the selector lever position while
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
running.
- Never leave your vehicle with the engine
running while in gear.
If you must leave
your vehicle when the engine is running, set
the parking brake and move the selector lev­
er to the "P" position.
- To decrease the risk of an accident, these­
lector lever must be in the P position and
the parking brake must be set before open­
ing the hood and working on a running en­
gine. Always read and follow the applicable
warnings¢ page 233, Working in the en­
gine compartment .
(D Note
Never let the vehicle roll downhill with engine
off and the selector lever in the "N" position,
because this could damage the automatic
transmission and catalytic converter .
{D) Tips
- Drive select: sporty shifting characteristics
can be selected using the
Dynamic driving
mode . The Infotainment display shows Sas
the selector lever position instead of D.
- If you accidentally select "N" while driving,
take your foot off the accelerator pedal im­
mediately and wait for the engine to slow
down to idle before selecting "D" or "S".
- If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The
emergency release can be used if this hap­
pens. Left-hand drive

Selector lever lock
The selector lever lock prevents you from select­
ing a gear accidentally, causing the vehicle to
roll .
Fig. 71 Selector lever lock
To release the selector lever lock:
.., Switch the ignition on.
....
.., Press the brake pedal while pressing the inter-
lock button.
Automatic shift lock (ASL)
The selector lever is locked in the "P" and "N" po­
sitions when the ignition is switched on. You
must press the brake pedal to select another po­
sition. You must also press the interlock button if
you are moving from the "P" position. The follow­
ing message appears in the display when these­
lector lever is in the "P" or
"N" position to remind
the driver:
To select a gear, please press brake pedal and press lock button on selector lever
The automatic shift lock only functions when the
vehicle is stationary or at speeds below 1 mph
(2 km/h). At higher speeds, the lock is automati­
cally deactivated in the "N" position.
The selector lever is not locked when shifting
quickly through "N", for example from "R" to "D".
This makes it possible to free the vehicle when it
is stuck by "rocking" it. The selector lever lock en­
gages if the lever stays in the "N" position longer
than approximately two seconds when the brake
pedal is not pressed.

be due to the following reasons:
- There is no lane marker line .
- The relevant lane marker lines are not detected (for example, mark ings in a construction zone
o r because they are obstructed by snow, dirt,
water or lighting).
- The veh icle speed is below the activation speed
of approximately 40 mph (65 km/h) (the speed
may vary depending on yo ur country).
- The lane is too narrow or too wide.

The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur­
bed .
Warning stage
If you activate the turn signa l, side assist warns
you abou t veh icles that are detected and classi­
fied as critical. The display in the respective mir ­
ror blinks brightly. If this happens, check traffic
by glancing in the exterior mirrors and over your

Fig. 84 Rear of the veh icle: pos it ion of the sensors (exam·
p le)
Side assist funct ions at speeds above approxi­
mately 19 mph (30 km/h) .
(D Approaching vehicles
In certain cases, a vehicle w ill be class ified as
c ritical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the exterior m irror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indica ted in the
exterior mirror if t hey are classified as critical for
a lan e change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display wi ll not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has detected (the differ ­
ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the norma l width . In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example:
-If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane . If this is the case, the
.,,_

Cl 00 ... N r-­N ... 0 r-­Vl 00
system may have detected a vehicle in another
l ane that is
not adjacent to your current lane .
- If you are dr iving t hrough a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails) .
- In poor weat her condit ions . The side assist
functions a re limited.

A WARNING
-Always pay atte ntion to traffic and to the
area aro und yo ur vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr ive r's attention. The dr ive r alone
is a lways responsib le for lane changes and
s imi lar driving maneuvers .
- In some situat ions, the system may not
function or its funct io n may be limited . For
example:
- If vehicles a re a ppro ac hi ng o r being le ft
behind very quickly. The display may not
tur n on in t ime .
- I n poo r weather cond itions s uch as heavy
rain, snow o r heavy mist .
- On very wide lanes, in t ight curves, o r if
there is a rise in the road s urface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
beca use they are outs ide of the sensor
range.
{Ll) Note
The sensors can be disp laced by im pacts o r
damage to the bumpe r, whee l housing and
underbody. Th is can impa ir the system. Have
an authorized A udi dealer or autho rized Audi
Serv ice Facility c heck their fu nction.

Rear parking system
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with rear park ing system
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid .
Desc ripti on
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 sensor function. For informat ion on
cleaning, see
c::;.page 266 .
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 cont inue back ing up

ample after a collision, do not continue to
use the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility .

-Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin­
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
- Use the rearview camera only if the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al­
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
- In certain situations, people or objects in
the display appear closer or farther away:
- For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck. Do not use the orientation lines in this case.
- If driven from a level surface onto an in­ cline, or a downward slope .
- If driven toward protruding objects.
- If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear.
