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.
_& WARNING
-Always look for traff ic 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 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 grille, 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
t io n.
- Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materia ls. If they
are, the sensor function could be impaired.

For additional information on cleaning, see
¢page 185.
(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.
@ 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.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate .
For information on cleaning, see
¢page 185.
- You can change the volume and pitch of the
signals as well as the display¢
page 87.
-Please refer to the instructions for towing a
trailer located in
¢page 88.
