Fig. 84 Rear of the veh icle: pos it ion of the sensors (exam·
p le)
Side assist funct ions at speeds above approxi­
mately 19 mph (30 km/h) .
(D Approaching vehicles
In certain cases, a vehicle w ill be class ified as
c ritical for a lane change even if it is still some­
what far away. The faster a vehicle approaches,
the sooner the display in the exterior m irror will
turn on.
@ Vehicles traveling with you
Vehicles traveling with you are indica ted in the
exterior mirror if t hey are classified as critical for
a lan e change. A ll vehicles detected by side assist
are indicated by the time they enter your "blind
spot", at the latest.
@ Vehicles you are passing
If you slowly pass a vehicle that side assist has
detected (the difference in speed between the
vehicle and your vehicle is less than 9 mph (15 km/h)), the display in the exterior mirror turns
on as soon as the vehicle enters your blind spot.
The display wi ll not turn on if you quickly pass a
vehicle that side ass ist has detected (the differ ­
ence in speed is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h)).
Functional limitations
The radar sensors are designed to detect the left
and right adjacent lanes when the road lanes are
the norma l width . In some situations, the display
in the exterior mirror may turn on even though
there is no vehicle located in the area that is criti­
cal for a lane change. For example:
-If the lanes are narrow or if you are driving on
the edge of your lane . If this is the case, the
.,,_

Cl 00 ... N r-­N ... 0 r-­Vl 00
system may have detected a vehicle in another
l ane that is
not adjacent to your current lane .
- If you are dr iving t hrough a curve . Side assist
may react to a vehicle that is one lane over
from the adjacent lane .
- If side assist reacts to other objects (such as
high or displaced guard rails) .
- In poor weat her condit ions . The side assist
functions a re limited.

A WARNING
-Always pay atte ntion to traffic and to the
area aro und yo ur vehicle. Side assist cannot
rep lace a dr ive r's attention. The dr ive r alone
is a lways responsib le for lane changes and
s imi lar driving maneuvers .
- In some situat ions, the system may not
function or its funct io n may be limited . For
example:
- If vehicles a re a ppro ac hi ng o r being le ft
behind very quickly. The display may not
tur n on in t ime .
- I n poo r weather cond itions s uch as heavy
rain, snow o r heavy mist .
- On very wide lanes, in t ight curves, o r if
there is a rise in the road s urface. Vehicles
in the adjacent lane may not be detected
beca use they are outs ide of the sensor
range.
{Ll) Note
The sensors can be disp laced by im pacts o r
damage to the bumpe r, whee l housing and
underbody. Th is can impa ir the system. Have
an authorized A udi dealer or autho rized Audi
Serv ice Facility c heck their fu nction.

ries.
Description
App lies to: vehicles with A udi drive se lect
The veh icle setup in each mode depends on the
vehicle's features.
Engine and automatic transmission
Depending on the mode, the engine and auto­
matic transmission respond more quickly or in a
more balanced manner to accelerator pedal
movements.
Suspension control (Audi magnetic ride)*
The suspension control uses sensors to record in­
format ion regarding steering movements, brak­
i ng and acceleration operations by the driver, as
well as information about the road surface, driv­
i ng speed, and load. W ith dr ive se lect, you can
adjust the suspension control to sporty (dynam­
ic ), comfortable (comfort) or balanced (auto).
Steering
The power steering adapts . Indirect steering that
moves eas ily as in comfort mode is espec ially
su ited to long drives on a highway . The dynamic
mode provides sporty, direct steering.
Engine sound*
The engine sound adapts to the current mode
and can be subtle to sporty .
(D Tips
In some models, the maximum vehicle speed
can only be reached in the auto and dynamic
modes .

p lus
Depending on your vehicle 's equipment , various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma­
neuvering.
The
r ea r p arki ng sys te m is an aud ible parking a id
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle

¢page 82.
_& WARNING
-Always look for traff ic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it direct ly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention . The driver is always
responsib le 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 ­
i ng system may be impa ired as a result .
Have an authorized Audi dealer or author­
ized Audi Serv ice Facility check their func ­
t ion.
- Make su re the senso rs a re not obst ructed by
st ickers, depos its or othe r ma ter ia ls.
If they
are, the senso r funct io n could be impai red .

@ Note
-Some objects are not detected or disp layed
by t he system under certain c ircumstances:
- objects such as barrier cha ins, tra iler draw
bars, vertical po les or fences
- objects above the sensors such as wall ex ­
tensions
- objects with certain surfaces or structures
such as cha in 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
wa rned about th is obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to re­
duce the risk of 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
- externa l ultrasonic sources such as from
cleaning vehicles
- in heavy rain, snow, or th ick vehicle ex­
h a u st
- We recommend that you practice par king in
a traffic -free location or parking lot to be ­
come familiar with the system . When doing
this, there shou ld be good light and weath ­
er conditions.
- You can change the vo lume of the signa ls.
- What appea rs in the disp lay is slight ly de -
layed.
- Th e sensors m ust be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the parking aid to operate .

Rear parking system
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with rear park ing system
The rear parking system is an audible parking
aid .
Desc ripti on
There is a sensor in the rear bumper cover. If
these detect an obstacle, audible signals warn
you .
Make sure the sensors are not covered by stick­
ers, deposits or any other obstructions as it may
impair the sensor function. For informat ion on
cleaning, see
c::;.page 266 .
The range at which the sensors begin to measure
is approximately:
side 3 ft (0.90 m)
rear
center 5.2 ft (1.60 m)
The closer you get to the obstacle, the shorter
the interval between the audible signals . A con­
tinuous tone sounds when the obstacle is less
than approximately 1 foot (0.30 meters) away.
Do not cont inue back ing up

If the distance to an obstacle remains constant,
the volume of the distance warning gradually
drops after about four seconds (this does not ap­ ply in the continuous tone range).

A WARNING
-Always read and follow the applicable warn­
ings ¢
A in General information on
page 80.
- If the position and the installation angle of
the rearv iew camera was changed, for ex­
ample after a collision, do not continue to
use the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au­
thorized Audi Service Facility .
Parking systems
-Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin­
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
- Use the rearview camera only if the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed. Make
sure any objects you may have mounted on
the luggage compartment lid do not block
the rearview camera.
- The camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al­
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
- In certain situations, people or objects in
the display appear closer or farther away:
- For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck. Do not use the orientation lines in this case.
- If driven from a level surface onto an in­ cline, or a downward slope .
- If driven toward protruding objects.
- If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear.
(D Note
-Always read and follow the applicable warn­
ings
¢ (D in General information on
page 80.
- The orange-colored orientation lines in the
Infotainment display show the vehicle path
based on the steering wheel angle. The
front of the vehicle swings out more than

distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor­
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.
