Depending on your vehicle's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
rear park ing system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
¢ page 83.
The parking system plus assists you when park ­
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the veh icle
¢ page 83.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment system display . The
lines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or maneuver ¢
page 84. The parking sys­
tem plus functions are also available
¢ page 83.
& 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 .
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator gr ille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park­
ing system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Service Facility check their func­
tion .
- 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, see
¢ page 275.

(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 re­
duce the risk of damage to the rims .
@ 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.
- What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for park aid to operate .

NEVER EXCEED XXX KG OR X XX
LBS "on your vehi cle 's pla card
(tire inflation pr essure l abel)
¢ pag e 265 , fig. 198.
2 . Determine the combined
weight of the dri ver and pa s­
sengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.
3. Subtract the comb ined weight
of the driver and passengers
from
" XXX " kilograms or "XXX "
pounds shown on the sticker
¢ page 265, fig. 198 .
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load ca pac ity. For ex­
ample, if the
"X XX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there w ill
be five 150 lbs passengers in
your vehicle , the amount of
available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lb s
(1400- 750 (5
X 150) = 650 lbs)
