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 keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur
roundings, using the rearview mirror as
well .
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author-
124
ized Audi Service Facility check their func
tion .
(D 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 certain surfaces or structures
such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low ob
ject, it may disappear from the sensor range. Note that you will no longer be
warned about th is 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 when there is tall
grass.
- external ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles .
- in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex
haust.
- 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
and the display ¢
page 131.
-Please refer to the instructions for trailer
towing in
¢page 132.
- What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed.

Solution
For many ce ll phones or mobile devices, playback is not possible
when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its capacity).
The mobile de-vice will only be recognized as a source in the MMI
after connecting if the battery charge is sufficient.
The
Bluetooth audio player f unction is switched on. Switch this
function off
c:> page 231 when you a re not using the Bluetooth
audio player.
Reset the Media settings to the facto ry defau lt settings
c:>page 230.
When connecting a nd disconnecting, the External audio player
source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnecting the
mobile device, either mute the device (refer to
c:> page 233) or
sw itch to a different audio source (for example
c:> page 204, Open-
ing the radio function).
Only one interface should be act ively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback.
When importing playlists, a ll of the fi les themselves must be im-
ported.
If yo u cannot find impor ted tracks in the media center, they may
not be supported. Only copy supported files
c:> page 223 to the
Jukebox.
Close the
Audi MMI connect app on the connected dev ices (for ex-
ample, smartphones) that are not being used as the Wi-Fi audio
p laye r*. Likewise, close the UPnP server apps or the media pe rm is-
sions on the integrated UPnP/DLNA server. Connect the desired
device as a Wi-Fi audio pla yer*
c:> page 213.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection switch
must be switched on in the
Audi MMI connect app status screen.
Malfunctions can occur during audio playback if the
