area roughly corresponds to the area in¢ fig. 91
and (D ~ fig . 92. Orientation lines and colored
surfaces are projected in the area shown, which
can help you with parking and maneuvering. Ob­
jec ts that are located in an area that is not cap­
tured by the camera@¢
fig. 92 and that are
closer to the bumper will not appea r on the navi­
gation system display .
We recommend that you practice park ing with
the rearview camera in a traffic -free location o r
parking lot to become familiar w ith the system,
the orientation lines, a nd their funct ion . There
should be suff icient light and good weather con­
d itions w hen do ing so.
In the nav igat io n system display, objects or
vehicles appear closer or fu rther away if:
Objects or vehicles appear closer or farther away in the navigation system if :
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level sur ­
face onto an incl ine, or a downward slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward protrud-
ing objects .
The accuracy o f the orientation lines and blue
surfaces diminishes if:
- the rearv iew came ra does not p rovide a reliab le
image, for example, in poor visibility cond itions
or if the lens is d irty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
s u n g lare and reflect ion.
Caring for th e rearvi ew cam era len s
The rearview camera is located in the center of
the vehicle above the rear license p late bracket.
In order for the rearview camera to function
p roperly, the camera lens must be kept clean and
free of snow and ice .
- Dampen the lens with a househo ld alcoho l­
based glass cleane r, and clea n the lens with a
dry cloth .
- Remove snow with a hand brush and ice pref ­
erably with a de- ic ing spray ¢(j) .
A WARNING
- T he pa rking system cannot rep lace the d riv­
er' s a ttention . The d rive r alone is responsi-
P a rk ing system
ble for parking and simi lar d riving maneu­
vers.
- Sensors have blind spots in whic h objects
cannot be detected. Pay spec ia l attention to
small children and an imals beca use the sen­
sors cannot always detect them.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle 's sur­
round ings, using the rearview mirror as
well.
- Do not allow yourself to be distracted from
traffic by the rearview camera pictures in
the navigation system display .
-If the position and the installation angle of
the camera has changed, for example, after
a rear end collision, do not continue to use
the system fo r safety reasons . Have it
checked by a n author ized Audi dealer or oth­
er q ua lif ied wor kshop .
(!) Note
-Low obstacles a lready s ignaled by a war ning
can disappea r from the system 's detection
range as they a re approached and w ill not
cont in ue to be s ignaled . Objec ts such as
barrie r cha ins, trailer draw ba rs, narrow
painted vertical poles o r fences may not be
detected by the system, pos ing risk of dam­
age .
- Never use warm or hot wate r to remove
snow or ice from the rearv iew camera lens
because the lens could crack .
- Never use products that a re abrasive when
cleaning the lens .
