Automatic dynamic headlight range control
system*
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range
control system
so that the headlights do not
blind oncoming traffic if the vehicle load
changes. The headlight range also
adjusts auto
matically when braking and accelerating .
Light functions
The following light functions are available de
pending on vehicle equipment and only function
when the
light switch is in the AUTO position.
You can deactivate these functions in the Info
tainment system under Audi adaptive light
Qpage 37.
Static cornering light* (vehicles with LED head
lights) -the cornering light switches on automat
ically when the steeri ng wheel is turned at acer
tain angle at speeds up to approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) and when the turn signal is activated
at speeds up to approxim ately 25 mph (40 km/
h). The area
to the side of the vehicle is illuminat
ed better when turning.
Highway light function* (vehicles with LED head
lights) -this function adapts the lighting for
highwa y driving based on vehicle speed.
Speed dependent light distribution* (vehicles
with LED headlights) -the speed dependent light
distribution adapts the light in towns and on
highways
or expressways. Intersections can also
be illuminated on vehicles
with a navigation sys
tem*.
A WARNING
- Automatic headlights * are only intended to
assist the driver. They do not reliev e the
driver
of responsibility to check the head
lights and to turn them on manually accord
ing to the current ligh t 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.
-If the battery is dra ining significantly, the
parking lights will switch off automatically
to reduce the risk of the engine not starting . ..,..

Parking systems
General information
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system/parking system
plus
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will
help you when parking and ma
neuvering.
The r
ear pa rk ing syst em is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles behind the vehicle
9page82.
The parking syste m plus assists you when park
ing by audibly and visually indicating
objects de
tected in front of and behind the vehicle
9page 83.
The rearv iew cam era shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment d isplay. The lines in
the rearview camera image help you to park or
maneuver~ page 84. The parking system plus
functions are also available~ page 83.
A WARNING
r-= ---'
-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 especia lly cautious of small 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
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.
For
additional information on cleaning, re
fer to ~page 2 70.
82
-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.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
(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 of the signals.
-
What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
- The
sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.
Rear parking system
Description
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking assist
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid.
Description
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick
ers, deposits or any other obstructions
as it may
impair
the sensor function. For information on
cleaning , refer
to c:::> page 2 70.
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
side 3
ft (0
.90 m)
rear center 5.2
ft (1.60
m)
The closer you
get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals. A con
tinuous tone sounds when
the obstacle is less
than approximately 1
foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not continue backing up c:::> .&. in General infor
mation on page 82, c:::>(D in General information
on page 82!
If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops
