Parking aid
General information
Ap plies to: vehicles with pa rk in g system plus/rearview cam­
era
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
in g by aud ibly and visua lly indicating objects de­
tected
in front of and behind the veh icle
¢ page 143.
The rearview camera shows the area beh ind the
veh icle in the Infotainment system d isplay. The
l ines in the rearview camera image help you to
park or
maneuver ¢ page 145.
& 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 attent ion. The driver is always
responsible when enter ing 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 pay attention to the area around the
vehicle -using the rearview mirror, too .
-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 impa ired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Serv ice 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, vert ical poles or fences
-objects above the sensors such as wall ex ­
tensions
Parking aid
-objects with certain s urfaces 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 th e rims.
(I} Tips
-The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover­
age area in some situations, such as:
-certa in road surfaces or when there is tall
grass
- external ultrasonic sources such as from clean ing vehicles
-in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle ex­
haust
-We recommend that you practice parking in
a traff ic -free location or parking lot to be ­
come fam iliar with the system . When doing
this , there shou ld be good light and weath­
er conditions .
-You can change the volume and pitch of the
signa ls as well as the display ¢
page 147.
-What appears in the infotainment display is
somewhat time-delayed .
-The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate .

Brake booster
The brake booster amplifies the pressu re yo u ap­
p ly to the brake pedal. It only operates while the
engine is running or when the ignition is switched
on (plug-in hybrid drive*) .
A WARNING
- Only apply the brakes for the purpose of
cleaning the brake system when road and
traff ic conditions permit. You must not en­
danger other road users. This increases the
r isk of an accident .
-
-Never let the vehicle roll while the engine is
stopped because this increases the risk of an
acc ident.
- Depend ing on the veh icle equipment, the
brake pedal may be pulled downward when
the vehicle automatically initiates b rak ing.
- Never place objects in the driver's footwell.
An object could end up in the area around
the pedals and prevent you from using
them. You wo uld not be able to use the ped­
als if sudden driving or braking mane uvers
were needed, which increases the risk of an
accident.
- Only use floor mats that do not obstruct the
area around the pedals and that can be se­
curely fastened in the footwe lls.
- T o reduce the risk of injury, do not place
your foot under the brake pedal.
(Llj) Note
-Never let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal lightly when braking is not actually
necessary. This causes the brakes to over­
heat and increases braking distance and
causes wear.
- Before driving on a long stretch with steep
slopes, reduce your speed and shift to the
next lower gear This makes use of the en­
gine braking effect and relieves the brakes.
If you need to brake add it ionally, brake in
i ntervals and not cont inuously.
Intelligent Technology
(D Tips
- If the brake booster is not working, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
force than normal.
- If you retrofit your vehicle with a front spoi l­
er, wheel covers or simi lar items, make sure
that the air flow to the front wheels is not
interrupted. Otherwise the brake system
can become too hot.
Electromechanical
steering
The electromechanical steering supports the
driver's steering movements.
Power steering adapts electronically based on
the ve hicle speed.
Indicator lights and messages
• Do not drive vehicle: steering defective
If this indicator light turns on and stays on and
th is message appears, the power steering may
have failed .
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as pos­
s ible. Do
not cont inue driving. See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fac ility for
ass istance .
l;r-ij Steering: system fault! You can continue
driving
If the indicator light turns on, the steering wheel
may be more difficult to move or more sensitive
than usual. The steering whee l may also be at an
angle when driving straight.
Drive slowly to an authorized Audi dea ler or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal­
function corrected.
(D Tips
If the. or 'Tij indicator light on ly stays on
for a short time, you may continue driving .

record, in certain crash or near crash -like situa ­
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand ­
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data re lated to vehicle dy­
namics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less . The EDR in this
veh icle is designed to record such data as:
- How various systems in your vehicle were oper­
ating;
- Whether or not the driver and passenger safety
belts were buckled/fastened;
- How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
- How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understand­
ing of the circumstances in which crashes and in ­
juries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivia l crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are re­
corded . H owever, other parties, such as law en­
forcement, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely ac­
quired during a crash invest igation .
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­
ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
E DR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu­
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the specia l equipment, can read the in­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Aud i w ill only access the EDR and/or sim ilar data
or give it to others with the consent of the owner
or lessee or in accordance with applicable law.
States vary in their access/disclosure restrictions
for EDR data, but typically such data can be ac­
cessed/disclosed in the following c ircumstances :
- when the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehicle
has been leased) agrees; or
- upon the officia l request by the police; or
- up on the order of a court of law or a govern-
ment agency; or
- for the defense of a lawsu it through the judicial
dis covery process.
Intelligent Technology
-Audi may also use the data, once retrieved from
the vehicle under permissib le circumstances, in
an anonymous format.
- for research about vehicle operation and safety
performance or provide the data to a third par­
ty for such research purposes.
Vehicle control modules
Your vehicle is also equipp ed w ith a number of
electronic control modules for various vehicle
systems, such as engine management, emission
control, airbags, and safety belts.
Th ese elect ronic control modules record data
during norma l vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained technicians for diagnostic and
repair purposes. The recording capabi lity of these
modules is limited to data (no sound is record­
ed) . Only a small amount of data is actually re­
corded over a very limited period of time, or stor­
ed when a system fault is detected by a control
module . Some of the data stored may relate to
vehicle speed, direction, or braking, as well as re­
straint system use and performance in the event
of a crash. Stored data can also only be read and
down loaded with specia l equipment that is di­
rectly connected to the vehicle .
(D Tips
Your vehicle may be equipped w ith Audi con­
nect. Your use of certain Audi connect fea­
tures requires wire less services that are pro­
vided by a third party wireless telecommuni­
cations provider . For details regarding how in­
formation obtained through Aud i connect is
collected, processed, transmitted, used, and
shared, please see your contract with the
wireless telecommunications provider.
