the headlights, turn signals and tail lights can fog over due to the tempera­
ture difference between the inside and
outside. They will clea r shor tly after
switching them on. This does not affect
the service life of the lighting.

tion, the driver is no tified in the instru­
ment cluster disp lay¢

Description
Applies to vehicles: with parking system plus
Audi parking system plus provides audio and

Sensors are located in the front and rear
bumpers. If these detect an obstacle, visual
and audible s ignals warn you. The range at
which the sensors begin to measure is approx­
imately:
side
front 3 ft (0.90 m)
center
4 ft (1.20 m)
side 2 ft (0 .60 m)
rear
center S.2 ft (1.60 m)

The
closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interva l between the audible signals. A
continuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less than approximately 1
ft (0.30 m) away.
Do not continue driving farther!
If the distance to an obstacle stays the same,
the volume of the d istance signa l chime is
gradually reduced after about
4 seconds (does
not affect the continuous signal tone).
