WARNING
•
The reversing camera does not show the complete area behind
the vehicle. It is part icularly 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).
•
Please note that objects whi ch are not touching the ground
may appear to be further away th an they actually are (e.g. the
bumper of a parked ve hicle, a towing bracket or the rear end of a
truck). In this case you should not use the orientation lines as a
guide when parking the car - accident risk!Caution
The MMI display shows the path of th e rear end of the vehicle if you
were to reverse using the current steering angle. NB: The front end
of the vehicle swings out further th an the rear. 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).
Applies to vehicles: with Audi parking system advancedParking parallel to the roadside
Parking mode 2 can be used when parking your vehicle at
the roadside.The following steps apply only when there are no obstacles
(such as a wall) next to the parking space. Otherwise, please
follow the “Instructions for parking next to obstacles”.
– Position your vehicle parallel to the roadside, about a metre away from the next parked vehicle.

extension of the vehicle outline and reaches about five
metres to the rear of the vehicle. The long side of the blue
marking should border onto the kerb. The complete blue
area marking must fit into the parking space.
– When the vehicle is stationary turn the steering wheel to the left as far as it will go.
– Reverse into the parking space.
– Stop the vehicle as soon as the blue curve touches the kerb ⇒page 175, fig. 195.
– When the vehicle is stationary turn the steering wheel to the right as far as it will go.
– Continue to reverse into the parking space until the vehicle is standing parallel to the kerb. indicates the
rear bumper. You should stop reversing, at the latest,
when the red orientation line is bordering on an
object ⇒! Keep a close watch on the front of your
vehicle ⇒.Parking next to obstacles
If an obstacle (such as a wall) is located next to the parking space,
the clearance at the side of the vehicle must be larger. Position the
long side of the blue marking so that there is sufficient clearance
from the kerb. The marking must not touch the kerb. You must also
start turning the steering wheel much earlier. The blue curve
⇒page 175, fig. 195 must not touch the kerb - make sure there is
sufficient clearance from the kerb.

HomeLinkUniversal transmitterApplies to vehicles: with HomeLinkDescription
The HomeLink universal transmitter can be programmed
to replace the hand-held cont rols of devices already in
use.HomeLink allows you to conveniently activate garage doors, estate
gates, security systems, home or office lighting and other electric
devices by means of control buttons inside your car.
HomeLink can replace up to three hand-held transmitters operating
existing devices on your property with a single universal trans-
mitter. This will be possible for most transmitters which control the
drive units for a garage door or external gates, etc. You can
programme the individual hand-held transmitters for your remote
control at or near the centre of the radiator grille. This is where the
control unit is located.
To be able to control systems with HomeLink, you need to perform
initial programming on the HomeLink transmitter first. If systems
fail to respond after the initial programming, check whether these
systems work with a "rolling code" (variable security code)
⇒ page 180 .
WARNING
When you are programming the Ho meLink universal transmitter,
make sure that no persons or objects are close to the devices
receiving the transmitter signals. If a gate or door is inadvertently
set into motion during progra mming, persons might be injured or
other damage caused by moving parts.

At the operating unit
1. Switch on the ignition (do not start the engine).
2. Press and hold down the two outer HomeLink buttons ⇒page 179, fig. 197 until the indicator diode
⇒ page 179, fig. 197 begins to flash after about
20 seconds. This procedure will delete the standard
factory settings and does not need to be repeated when
programming the other buttons.
3. Press the particular HomeLink button which you would like to program.
4. Wait until the diode begins to flash. The HomeLink module now remains in trai ning mode for 5 minutes.
5. Now step in front of your vehicle with the original hand-
held transmitter for the garage door opener or any other
device you wish to assign to the HomeLink control
button.
At the radiator grille
6. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at or near the
centre of your car's radiator grille ⇒ page 179, fig. 198.
7. Press the activator button on the original hand-held
transmitter .
8. As you do so, watch the tu rn signals on your vehicle.
HomeLink confirms successful programming by flashing
all four turn signals three times.
9. If the turn signals fail to flash three times, repeat the procedure with the transmitter held at a different
distance from the radiator grille.
The proper distance between the hand-held transmitter and the
HomeLink module at the radiator grille depends on the system you
want to train. It may require several attempts.
The turn signals will flash once if the time limit for the programming
mode has been exceeded. In this case the programming procedure
needs to be performed again. Repe at the sequence at the operating
unit starting with step 3.
The programming instructions above also apply to the other control
buttons. Start with step 3 if you wish to proceed and program the
other two buttons.
If the garage door or other devices st ill fail to be activated with the
HomeLink control buttons after programming is completed, it is
possible that these systems might be working with a rolling code
instead of the normal fixed security code. If this is the case, a rolling
code programming is required in addition to the steps described
above. ⇒page 180Applies to vehicles: with HomeLinkRolling code programming
Some devices require rolling code programming of the
HomeLink universal transmitter.Identifying a rolling code
– Press the already programmed HomeLink button again
and hold it down.
–Watch HomeLink diode ⇒ page 179, fig. 197. If the
diode starts flashing rapidly and turns into a constant
light after about 2 seconds, this indicates that the device
you wish to operate (e.g. a garage door opener) is
equipped with a rolling code.
– Program the rolling code as follows:

Activating the garage door opener drive unit
– Locate the programming button on the garage door
drive. The exact location and colour of the button may
vary depending on the type of garage door opener.
– Press the programming button on the door drive unit (this will normally cause a “programming mode indicator
lamp” on the unit to light up). You now have about 30
seconds to start and complete the programming of the
HomeLink control button on the operating unit.
Programming at the operating unit in the
headliner
– Press and release the already programmed HomeLink button.
– Press the HomeLink button again to complete rolling code programming.After programming at the operating unit in the headliner, the
garage door opener should rec ognize the HomeLink signal and
respond when the HomeLink button is pressed. Now the other
control buttons can be programmed as required.
Note
•
Having a second person assist you makes programming of the
rolling code easier and faster. For some makes of garage door
openers the HomeLink button may have to be pressed a third time
to complete the tr aining sequence.
•
If you encounter problems progr amming the rolling code you
may find helpful information in the operating instructions of the
garage door opener or other device you wish to operate.

A HomeLink button can be re-programmed individually
without affecting the other button allocations.At the operating unit in the headliner
– Press and hold down the selected button until the indi-
cator diode ⇒ page 179, fig. 197 starts flashing slowly.
At the radiator grille
–Hold the original hand-held transmitter for the garage
door opener or other device directly in front of the radi-
ator grille of your vehicle (at or near the centre)
⇒ page 179, fig. 198. The exact distance depends on the
system that you want to program.
– Press the button on the original hand-held transmitter
for the garage door opener or other device.
– As you do so, watch the turn signals on your vehicle. HomeLink confirms successful programming by flashing
all four turn signals three times.
– If the turn signals fail to flash three times, repeat the procedure with the transmitter held at a different
distance from the radiator grille.When the turn signals have flashed three times, this means the
device previously stored in HomeLink has been erased and the new
system programmed in its place. To activate the new system, press
the HomeLink button that has just been re-programmed.
Note
It may require several attempts before programming is successful.
When programming a new device, keep the button pressed for at least 15 seconds before trying
again with the transmitter in a
different position. Keep watching the turn signals during that
time.
