Parking systems
General information
Applies to: ve hicles w ith per ip heral cameras
Fig . 149 Location of peripheral cam eras
The four periphe ral cameras are located in the ra­
diator grille , in the luggage compartment lid and
on both exterior mirrors
Q fig . 149 . Make sure
that the lenses are not covered by deposits or any
other obstructions as this may impair the system.
For information on cleaning, see
Q page 362.
Black corners are shown in the vehicle silhouette
when in
Surroundings mode. Objects in these
areas are outside of the camera's field of view
and are not detected.
& WARNING
- Always read and follow the applicable warn­
ings
Q .&. in General information on
page 141.
- If the position or the installation angle of a camera was changed, for example after a
collision, do not continue to use the system
for safety reasons. Have it checked by an au­
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
- Keep in mind that the image in the display is
incorrect if the exterior mirror housing has
been moved out of place .
- Use the
Rear mode and the Corner view
(rear)
mode only when the luggage com­
partment lid is completely closed . Other­
wise the image in the display will be incor­
rect.
- The vehicle surroundings are shown using
the camera images . The vehicle image is
shown by the system. Objects and obstacles above the camera are not displayed.
146
- Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field
of vision. The objects appear both altered
and inaccurate on the screen.
(D Note
-Always read and follow the applicable warn­
ings
Q (i) in General information on
page 141.
- The Infotainment disp lay shows the direc ­
tion in which the rear of the vehicle is travel­ ing based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor­
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
@ Tips
If the 8/~/c:s symbol appears in the dis­
play and the respective display area is grayed
out, then the power exterior mirrors
were
folded in or the driver's door/front passeng­
er's door/luggage compartment lid was
opened.

Intelligent Technology
CJ) Note
- Neve r let the brakes "rub" by pressing the
pedal light ly when bra king is not actually
necessary. This causes the brakes to over­
heat and increases braking d istance and
causes wear .
- Before driv ing downhill a long distance on a
steep hi ll, decrease your speed and select a
l ower gear. This makes use of the engine
b raking effect and re lieves the brakes . If
you need to b rake additionally , brake in in­
te rvals and n ot co nti nu ously .
(J) Tips
-If the b rake booster is no t wo rking, you
must press the brake pedal with much more
fo rce th an norma l.
- If you re trofit you r vehicle with a fron t spoil­
e r, whee l cove rs o r similar items, ma ke sure
th at t he ai r flow to the fron t wheels is not
i nte rr upt ed . Ot he rw ise the bra ke sys tem
ca n become too hot.

ALL-wheel drive (quattro)
General information
In all whee l drive, the dr iv ing power is dis trib ut­
ed betwee n all fou r whee ls w hen needed . This
happe ns automatically depending on your driving
behavior as we ll as the c urrent road con ditions.
A lso see
c:;, page 151, Electronic stabili zation
control (ESC) .
The all-whee l dr ive system distr ibutes the dr iving
power va riably to the front and rear axle. It works
together with selective wheel torq ue control,
which act ivates when dr iv ing through c urves
q page 151. With the sport d ifferent ial*, power
distribution to the rear wheels is var iable and can
be adjusted using the drive select

-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-trivial 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. However, 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 investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­ ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu­
facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement,
that have the special equipment, can read the in­
formation if they have access to the vehicle or the
EDR.
Some state laws restrict the retrieval or down­ loading of data stored by EDRs installed in a vehi­
cle for the express purpose of retrieving data af­
ter an accident or crash event without the own­
er's consent.
Audi will not access the EDR and/or similar data
or give it to others -
-unless the vehicle owner (or lessee if the vehi­
cle has been leased) agrees; or
-upon the official request by the police; or
-upon the order of a court of law or a govern-
ment agency; or
-for the defense of a lawsuit through the judicial
discovery process.
-Audi may also use the data for research about
vehicle operation and safety performance or provide the data to a third party for research
purposes without identifying the specific vehi­
cle or information about the identity of its own­
er or lessee and only after the recorded vehicle
data has been accessed.
Vehicle control modules
<( Your vehicle is also equipped with a number of a,
;::; electronic control modules for various vehicle ,....
:=:: systems, such as engine management, emission
0
3 control, airbags, and safety belts.
a,
Intelligent Technology
These electronic control modules record data
during normal vehicle operation that may be
needed by trained technicians for diagnostic and
repair purposes. The recording capability 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
downloaded with special equipment that is di­
rectly connected to the vehicle.
(D Tips
Your vehicle may be equipped with Audi con­ nect. Your use of certain Audi connect fea­
tures requires wireless services that are pro­
vided by a third party wireless telecommuni­
cations provider . For details regarding how in­
formation obtained through Audi connect is
collected, processed, transmitted, used, and
shared, please see your contract with the
wireless telecommunications provider and the
"About Audi connect" tab in your vehicle's In­
fotainment system:
