the proper detection of other vehicles .
- The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Moving vehicles up ahead may not be
promptly detected or may not be detected
at all.
- Reflective surfaces including crash barriers
or tunnel entrances may impair the function
of the radar sensor.
@ Tips
- You can cancel the braking with increasing
force that is initiated by the system by brak­
ing yourself, by accelerating noticeably or
by swerving .

Parking systems
General information
Applies to: vehicl es with parking system plus/rear view cam­
era/peripheral cameras
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
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 108.
The rear view camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment display. This display
assists you when you are cross or parallel parking
¢ page 109. In addition, you are assisted by the
functions from the parking system plus
¢ page 108.
The peripheral cameras assist you with parking
and maneuvering. You are aided by various cam­
e ras depending on the vehicle equipment leve l
¢page 112. In addition, you are assisted by the
functions from the parking system plus
¢page 108.
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 for safety during parking and
for all other 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 children and
animals.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The park­
ing systems may become impaired as a re­
sult. Have your authorized Audi dealer or
qualified workshop check their function.
- Make sure the sensors are not covered by
stickers, deposits or any other obstructions
Parking systems
as it may impair the sensor function. For in­
formation on cleaning, refer to
¢page 193.
(D Note
-Some objects are not detected by the sys­
tem 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.
(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 116.
- What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.

Parking systems
Parking system plus
Description
Applies to: ve hicles w ith park ing system p lus
Audi parking system plus provides audio and vis­
ual signals when parking.
F ig . 119 D isp lay fiel d
Sensors are located in the front and rear bump­
ers. If these detect an obstacle, visua l and in
some situations audible signals warn you.
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick­
ers, depos its or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For information on
cleaning, refer to
¢ page 193.
The display field begins approximately at :
® 4 ft (1.20 m)
® 3 ft (0.90 m)
© 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
@ 3 ft (0.90 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interva l between the audible signals. A con ­
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 ft (0.30 m) away . Do not
continue driving farther¢

angle. A white segment indicates an identified
obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's path . Red
segments show identified obstacles that are in
your vehicle's path. As your veh icle comes closer
to the obstacle, the segments move closer to the
vehicle. The collision area has been reached when
the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles
in the collision area, including those o utside of
