General Information

Fig. 170 Trunk lid:
Location of the rear­
view camera
Sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers. If these detect an
obstacle, audible and visual signals warn you . The range at which the
sensors begin to measure is approximately:
To the side
Center rear 2 ft (0.60 m)
5.2
ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter the interval between
the audible signals. A continuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away. Do not continue
driving
farther.
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same, the volume of the
distance signal chime is gradually reduced after about
4 seconds
(does not affect the continuous signal tone). Approaching another
obstacle will cause the distance signal to sound again at the normal
volume.
Rearview camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by the rearview
camera => fig.
169 (D. Objects that are not in the area covered 0 are
not shown on the MMI display.
We recommend that you practice parking with the rear-view camera in a traffic-free location or parking lot to become familiar with the
system, the orientation lines, and their function . When doing this,
there should be good light and weather conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear closer or further away
if:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an incline,
or a downward slope,
• you are driving in reverse gear toward protruding objects,
• the vehicle is carrying too much load in the rear.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue surfaces diminishes if:
• the rear-view camera does not provide a reliable image, for
example, in poor visibility conditions or if the lens is dirty,
• the image on the screen is not visible due to sun glare and reflec ­
tion.
Caring for the rear-view camera lens
The rear-view camera is located above the rear license plate bracket.
F or the parking assist to operate, the lens=> fig. 170 must be kept
clean:
• Dampen the lens with a household alcohol-based glass cleaner,
and clean the lens with a dry cloth=>

authorized Audi dealer.
• Forward-facing child safety seats installed on the front
pa ssenger 's seat may interfere with the deployment of the airbag
and cause ser ious personal injury to the child.

near the instrument panel.
• Always move the passenger seat into its rearmost position in
the seat's fore and aft adjustment range, as far away from the
airbag as possible before installing the forward-facing child
restraint. The backrest must be ad justed to an upright position.

An airbag system that is not functioning properly cannot provide
supplemental protection in a frontal crash.
