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.

Do not allow the camera images in the MMI display to distract
you from watching the traffic.
•
When parking or manoeuvring do not rely solely on the MMI
display. Some objects (e.g. narrow posts or bars) may - due to the
resolution of the display screen - not be displayed in a satisfactory
manner or may not be displayed at all.
•
Only use the reversing camera to assist you if it is supplying
you with a good and clear picture. The quality of the picture could
be impaired by adverse light, dirt on the lens or a defect (accident
risk).
•
If the MMI display is switched on and the picture is obscured or
the area behind the vehicle is not visible (e.g. due to a dirty or
defective lens) you must not use the reversing camera to assist
you when manoeuvring (accident risk).
•
The reversing camera produces two-dimensional images.
Please remember that ridges in the ground, parts protruding on
other vehicles or fixed objects jutting out are all more difficult to
detect on the MMI display screen due to a lack of spatial depth. In
some cases it may not be possible to detect them at all.
•
For safety reasons, you should not use the system if the posi-
tion and installation angle of the camera have been changed, e.g.
in a rear-end collision. Have it checked by a qualified workshop.
•
Only use the reversing camera when the boot lid is completely
c lo s e d . P l e a se m a k e su re t h a t t here are no objects mounted to the
rear end of the vehicle which could block the view of the reversing
camera.Caution
•
Never remove snow and ice from the lens of the reversing
camera using warm or hot water - danger of cracks appearing on the
lens.
•
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the lens.WARNING (continued)

HomeLinkUniversal transmitterApplies to vehicles: with HomeLinkDescription
The HomeLink universal transmitter can be programmed
to replace the hand-held controls 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 146.
WARNING
When you are programming the HomeLink 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 programming, 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 145, fig. 160 until the indicator diode
⇒page 145, fig. 160 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 training 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 145, fig. 161.
7. Press the activator button on the original hand-held
transmitter.
8. As you do so, watch the turn 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. Repeat 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 still 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 146Applies 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 145, fig. 160. 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:

garage door opener should recognize 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 training sequence.
•
If you encounter problems programming the rolling code you
may find helpful information in the operating instructions of the
garage door opener or other device you wish to operate.

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.
