- Back up in reverse gear and adjust the position of your vehicle in such a way, that the dark blue surface indicated in the MMI Display@=>
page 167 , fig. 185 borders on
the vehicle behind, or the parking spot line. If you are
not
parking next to any obstacles=> page 169, the long side
of the dark blue surface should border on the curb. The
entire dark blue surface has to fit into the park ing spot
=>

Whi le the vehicle is stationary, turn your steering wheel to
the right as far as it will go.
- Back up into the parking spot. If you are
not parking next
to any obstacles =>
page 169, the dark blue bend©
should touch the curb=> fig. 186 . Stop your vehicle .
- While the vehicle is stationary, turn your steering wheel in the opposite direction (left) as far as it wil l go .
- Continue to back up into the parking spot until the vehicle
is parked parallel to the curb. When backing up, also keep
an eye on the vehicle front=>

With "parking mode 2", you can park on the left and right side of the
road. For this reason, the b lue surfaces and curved lines are displayed
in different shades of blue . The dark blue surface @and the dark blue
curved line © can be used to park on the right s ide of the road . The
light blue surface

park on the left side of the road.
When the tur n signal is sw itched on , only the necessary s urfaces and
curves are shown. To change the side that is shown , simply change

Rear-view camera tips
We recommend that you practice parking w ith the rear-v iew camera
in a traffic -free location, o r parking lot, to become familiar with the
system, the or ient atio n lines , and the ir fun ct ion. W hen do ing t his,
there should be good light and weather cond itions.
In the MM I Display, objec ts or vehicles appe ar close r or f urther aw ay
if:
• you are driving in reverse gear from a level surface onto an incline,
or a downwa rd slope,
• you are driv ing in reverse gear towar d prot ruding objects,
• the vehicle is carry ing too much load in the rear .
T he accuracy of the orientatio n lines and blue su rfaces diminishes if :
• t he Ad aptive Air S uspension is defective, o r th e dynamic o r lift
mode is switched on,
• the rear-v iew camera does not provide a reliable image, for
example, in poor visib ility conditions or if the lens is dirty, •
the image on the screen is not v is ib le due to sun glare and reflec­
tion .
Caring for the rear-view camera lens:
• Dampen the lens with a household alcoho l-based glass cleaner,
a nd clean the lens wi th
a d ry cl oth.
• Remove snow w ith a hand br ush .
• Remove ice, preferab ly with de-icing spray=>
0 .
& WARNING
• The rea r-view camera does not replace the view to the rear and
the rear view mirror s.
• The rear-view camera -because of technical limitations -does
not show the entire area behind the vehicle=> page
165, fig. 182.
Be especially careful to check for small children and animals
before ba cking up . Small children and animals will not always be
shown in the r ear-view display.
• The Audi parking sys tem is not a sub stitute for being careful
and alert when backing up. Be especially careful during park ing
and similar maneuvers . Always watch where you are driving and
make sure that nothing is in the way.
• Do not allow your self to be distracted from traffi c by the rear­
view camera pictures.
• When maneuvering or parking, do not only u se the MMI
Display for orientat ion. Certa in objects -depending on the sc reen
resolution -may not, or not entirely, be di splayed ; for example
trailer hitches , chains, na rrow posts, or fences.
• Only use the rear-view camera for aid if it shows a good, clear
picture. The image may be obscured , for e xample, by the sun
shining into the len s, dirt on the len s, or a s the re sult of a defect -
danger of accident!
• If the imag e is hazy when the MMI Display is swit ched on or the
area behind the vehicle is not vis ible (for example , as the result of .,_

Chassis Controls
Four different driving modes can be set by the driver .
The automatic control processes are speed- and time-dependent . For
example, it is not poss ible to raise the suspension to the lift mode
above certain speeds .
When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered approximately 1
inch (25 mm) to a level suitable for highway speeds, except in the
standard mode . Road ho ldi ng is opt imized as a result of the lowe r
center of gravity and fue l consumption is reduced as a result of
reduced wind resistance.

Select the automatic mode if you prefer a suspension setting empha­
sizing comfort. Damping characteristics emphasizing comfort are
selected in this mode .
• Lowering : When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded
for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered by about 1 inch (25 mm).
• Raising: The vehicle is automatically ra ised aga in if the speed falls
below about 44 mph (70 km/h) for a period of 120 seconds. The
vehicle is ra ised immediately when speed falls below about 22 mph
(35 km/h).

. The warning light c.::> in the
instrument cluster will come on for a few seconds just to remind you
of the reduced ground clearance.
If you switch off the engine whi le the vehicle is in the dynamic mode
and then switch on the ignition once aga in, the
c.::> warning light will
also come on again for a few seconds.
• Lowering : When a speed of about 75 mph (120 km/h) is exceeded
for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle is automatically lowered by an
additional 0.2 in (5 mm) .
• Raising: The vehicle is automatically raised again if the speed falls
below about 44 mph (70 km/h) for a period of 120 seconds. The
vehicle is ra ised immediately when speed falls below about 22 mph
(35 km/h).
standard
Select the standard mode if you desire a suspension sett ing with a
special emphasis on comfort . In the standard mode there is
no
lower ing of the s uspens ion. Even at high speeds, the vehicle stays at
the same level. Damping characteristics with a decided emphasis on
comfort are selected in this mode.
lift
Select the lift mode when you have to travel over poor sections of
road (e .g . trails) . In the lift mode, the vehicle is raised by 1 inch (25
mm) compared to normal level while it is still stationary and damping
characterist ics are adjusted to emphasize comfort .
The lift mode can be activated only at speeds below 50 mph (80 km/h). When a speed of about 62 mph (100 km/h) is exceeded, the
system automatica lly leaves lift mode and the mode set previously
(standard, automatic, dynamic) is activated again .•

Homelink ®
Universal remote control
Applies to veh icles: w ith Hom eli nk ® universal remote control
General information
The Homelink ® feature can learn up to three radio
frequency codes for most current transmitters used for
operating garage doors, estate gates, home or outdoor
lighting systems, and other devices.
You must first program the Homelink ® transm itter before you can
use the system=>
page 182, "Programming the Home link® trans­
mitter".
I n order to program the Homelink ® transmitter for devices utilizing
rolling code, a second person on a ladder who can safe ly reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended. It is also necessary to
locate the "learn" button on your garage door opener motor. Refer to
the operating instructions for the opener, as the location and color of
this button may vary by manufacturer.
You can still use the original remote control for the device at any
time.
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink'"' transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before Aprill, 1982.
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death.
Controls and equip ­
ment Safety first
& WARNING
(continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed. If the device is repeatedly activated, this can over­
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over­
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage, please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.
rn Tips
• If you would like more information on Homelink ®, where to
purchase the Homelink ® compatible products, or would like to
purchase the Homelink ® Home Lighting Package, please call toll­
free: 1-800-355-3515.
