& WARNING
• The rear-view camera has blind spots , in whi ch objects cannot
be detected. Be especially careful to check for small children and
an imals before ba ck ing up . Small children and animals will not
always be detected by the sensors.
• The Audi parking system is not a substitute for being careful
and alert when backing up. Be especially careful during parking
and similar maneu vers . Always watch where you are driving and
make sure that nothing is in the way .
• Remember that low obsta cles which have already been
signaled may pass below the system's sensing zone when the
vehicle is ba cking up . The fact that the signal stops does not mean
that you have cleared the obstacle . When the signal stops , impact
is imminent . Objects such as trailer hit ches , chains , narrow posts
or fences covered by a thin layer of paint may not always be
detected by the system. They can still damage your vehicle
without warning .
• Always make sure that the volume and frequency of the chimes
is adjusted so that you can easily hear the acoustic distance signal
even if the radio is playing, the air -conditioner blower is on High or
there is a high level of outside noise .
- Check the settings whenever someone else has driven the
vehicle before you.
• Improper reliance on the Audi parking system can cause colli
sions and serious personal injury .
- Never rely only on parking assist when chang ing backing up .
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure it is safe to back
up .

Special parking situations
Applies to vehicles : with Advance d Par king Sys tem wi th rear view came ra
Parking next to obstacles
When parking next to an obstacle, enough distance must
left on the side.
Fig. 202 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. 195.
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 . 202.
Also, the turning process has to occur considerably sooner. This
means that the corresponding blue curved
line=> page 177, fig. 201
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!
