_& WARNING
--Never rely exclusively on the outside tem­
perature display to determine if a road sur­
face is icy or not. Keep in mind that road
surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperat ure above 41 °F (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
d isp lay, black ice could be on the road.
- Always reduce your speed and drive with specia l care in co ld weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases .
(0 Tips
- If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv­
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the display might be slightly high­
er than the actual outside temperature . This
is caused by the heat being radiated from
the engine . .,..

Parking systems
Parking system plus
Description
Applies to vehicles: with parking system p lus
Audi parking system plus provides audio and vis­
ual signals when parking.
F ig . 120 D isp lay field
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 o r any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For information on
cleaning, refer to¢
page 203.
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 sho rter
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¢
& in General informa­
tion on poge 113,
¢ @) in General information on
page 113!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap­
p ly in the continuous tone range).

Visual display
The segments in front of and behind the veh icle
help you to determine the distance between you
and an obstacle. The red lines * mark the expect­
ed direction of travel according to the steer ing
angle. A white segment indicates an identified
obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's path. Red
segments show identif ied 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
the ve hicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con­
tinue driving forward or in reverse¢

Repair , care and disposal of the airbags
Parts of the a irbag system are installed at many
d ifferent p laces on your Aud i. Installing, remov­
ing, servic ing o r repa iring a part in an area of the
vehicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and p revent that system from working properly
in a co llision.
There are some important things you have to
know to make su re t hat the effectiveness of the
system w ill not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
environment .
A WARNING
Improper care, serv icing and repa ir proce­
dures can increase the r isk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de­
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:
-
- Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer­ ing wheel horn pad or a irbag cover or the in­
strument panel or mod ify them in any way.
- Never attach any objects such as cup holders or te lephone mountings to the su rfaces cov­
er ing the airbag units.
- For cleaning the ho rn pad or instrument
pane l, use on ly a soft, dry cloth or one mois­
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners cou ld damage the a irbag cover or change
the stiffness or strength of the mater ial so
that the airbag cannot dep loy and protect
properly.
- Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
- All work on the steering wheel, instr ument
pane l, front seats or electrical system (in ­
cluding the installation of audio equipment,
cellu lar telephones and CB rad ios, etc.)
must be performed by a qualified technician
Airb ag sys tem
who has the t raining and spec ial equ ipment

- For any wo rk on the airbag system, we
strong ly recommend that you see yo ur au­
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify the front b umper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always make sure that the side a irbag can
inflate w ithout interference:
- Never ins tall seat covers or replacement
u pholste ry ove r the front seatbacks that
have not been specifica lly approved by
Audi.
- Never use addi tional seat cushions that
cove r the areas where the side airbags in­
flate.
- Damage to the orig inal se at cove rs or to
the se am in the area of the s ide airbag
module must a lways be repaired immedi­
ate ly by an authorize d Aud i dealer.
- The airb ag system can deploy on ly on ce. Af­
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
replaced with new replacement parts de­
signed and approve d espec ially for your
Aud i model version. Replacement of com­
p lete airbag systems or airbag components
m ust be performed by qualified workshops
only . Make sure that any airbag service ac­
tion is entered in you r A udi Warranty

Maintenance boo klet under AIRBAG R E­
PLAC EM ENT R ECORD.
- For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starte r are separated from
the vehicle ba tte ry with a pyro te chnic cir cui t
interrupter.
- Work on the pyrotechnic c ircuit interrupt­
er must on ly be performed by a qualif ied
technic ians who have the exper ience, in­
