Lights and Vision
When switched on, adaptive light adjusts to
curves depending on the vehicle speed and steer­
ing wheel angle. This provides better lighting
through the curve. The system operates in a
speed range from approximately 6 mph (10 km/
h) to 68 mph (110 km/h) .
Static cornering light* -the cornering light
switches on automatically when the steering
wheel is turned at a ce rtain angle at speeds up to
approximately 44 mph (70 km/h) and when the
turn signal is activated at speeds up to approxi­
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) . The area to the side of
the vehicle is illuminated better when turning.
Speed dependent light distribution* -The speed
dependent light distribution adapts the light in
towns and on highways or expressways . Intersec­
tions can also be illuminated on vehicles with a
navigation system* .
Highway light function*
This function adapts the lighting for highway
driving based on vehicle speed .
A WARNING
-Automatic headlights* are only intended to
assist the driver. They do not relieve the
driver of responsibility to check the head­
lights and to turn them on manually accord­
ing to the current light and visibility condi­
tions. For example, fog cannot be detected by the light sensors . So always switch on the
low beam under these weather conditions
and when driving in the dark ~D.
- Accidents could occur if you can not see the road ahead of you well and if others on the
road cannot see you . Always switch your
headlights on so that you can see the road
ahead of you and others can see your vehicle
from behind.
- The rear fog lights should only be turned on
in accordance with traffic regulations, to
prevent glare for traffic behind your vehicle.
-If the battery has been discharging for a
while, the parking light may switch off auto­
matically. Always make sure your vehicle is
parked and adequately lit according to the
44
laws. Avoid using the parking lights for sev­
eral hours.
- Please observe legal regulations when using
the lighting systems described.
(D Tips
- The light sensor for the automatic head­
lights* is in the rearview mirror mount.
Therefore , do not place any stickers in this
area on the windshield.
- Some exterior lighting functions can be ad­
justed
Q page 45.
- If you turn off the ignition while the exterior lights are on and open the door, you will
hear a warning tone.
- In some market-specific versions, the tail
lights do not turn on when switching on the
daytime running lights .
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals and tail lights can
fog over due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on . This
does not affect the service life of the light­
ing.
-A message will appear in the instrument
cluster if there is a malfunction in the light
sensor

flashers on or off .

Lights and Vision
-Applies to vehicles without power folding
outside mirrors: if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must move it back
in place by hand.
-If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior m irrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power controls.
@ Tips
If the power adjustment fails, both m irrors
can be adjusted by hand by pressing on the
edge of the mirror surface.

A WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim­
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electro­
lyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
48
- Repeated or long-term exposure to electro­
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air­
ways, especially in people with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Take deep breaths immediately after leaving the vehi­
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors and w indows as wide as possible.
-If electrolyte fluid enters the eyes, flush
them thoroughly w ith a large amount of
clean water fo r at least 15 m inutes and then
seek medical attention.
- If electro lyte fluid comes into contact with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
with soap and water and seek medical at­
tention. Clean affected clothing and shoes
thorough ly before wearing again .
- If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
consc ious, flush the mouth with water for at
least 15 minutes . Do not induce vomiting
unless th is is recommended by medical pro­
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi­ ately .
CI) Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electro lyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces. C lean this liquid as
quickly as possible with a wet sponge .
(D Tips
- If the light reaching the rearview mirror is
obstructed, the automatic dimm ing mirror
will not function correctly,
- The automatic dimming m irrors do not dim
when the interior lighting is turned on or
the reverse gear is selected .

er system, a lways loosen wiper blades that
have frozen to the w indshield before turn­
i ng the wipers on .
- To prevent damage to the wiper blades, do
not apply gasoline, petroleum, thinning
agents or other solvents on the wiper
blades or near them.
- To prevent damage to the wiper a rms or
other components, do not try to move the
windsh ield wipers by hand.
@ Tips
- Commercial hot wax such as the types used
by car washes make it mo re difficult to
clean the windshield.
- You can also use the service position, fo r ex­
ample, if you want to p rote ct the windsh ield
from icing by using a cover.
- You cannot activate the service position
when the hood is open.

Parking systems
General information
Applies to: ve hicles with a rea r parking sys te m /pa rking sys­
tem plus/rearv iew camera
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢page 110.
The parking system plus assists you when park ­
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the vehicle
¢page 110.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the MMI display. This display assists
you when you are cross or parallel parking. The parking system plus functions are also available
¢page 111.
A WARNING ,--
- Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park­
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system.
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect­
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals.
- Always pay attention to the area around the
vehicle -using the rearview mirror, too.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park­
ing system may become impaired as a re­
sult. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
- Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materials. If they
are the sensor function could be impaired.

fer to¢
page 224.
@ Note
-Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- Objects above the sensors such as wall ex­
tensions
- Objects with specific surfaces or struc­
tures such as chain link fences or powder
snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low-lying
object, it may disappear from the sensor
range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The
parking system may become impaired as a
result . Have an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
(D Tips
- The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover­
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or for long grass .
- external ultrasonic sources e.g. from
cleaning vehicles.
- heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle exhaust.
- We recommend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be­
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath­
er conditions .
- You can change the volume and pitch of the
signals as well as the display¢
page 115.
-What appears in the MMI display is some­
what time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.
