Driving dynamic

Noises will indicate when the system is working.
Brake assist
The brake assist system can decrease braking dis-
tance. It increases braking power when the driver
presses the brake pedal quickly in emergency sit-
uations. You must press and hold the brake pedal
until the dangerous situation is over. Depending
on the activated driver assistance systems, the
brake assist system may react with increased sen-
sitivity.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR reduces drive power when the drive wheels
begin spinning and adapts the power to the road
conditions. This makes it easier to start, acceler-
ate and drive up hills.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
The EDL applies the brakes to wheels that are
slipping and transfers the drive power to the oth-
er wheels. This function is not available at higher
speeds.
In extreme cases, EDL automatically switches off
to keep the brake on the braked wheel from over-
heating. The vehicle is still functioning correctly.
EDL will switch on again automatically when con-
ditions have returned to normal.
Power steering
The ESC can also support vehicle stability
through steering.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control is used when driv-
ing on curves. Braking is targeted toward the
wheels on the inside of the curve as needed. This
allows more precise driving in curves.
Automatic post-collision braking system
The automatic post-collision braking system can
help to reduce the risk of sliding and of addition-
al collisions after an accident. If the airbag con-
trol module detects a collision, the vehicle is
braked by the ESC.
The vehicle does not brake automatically if one of
the following occurs:
102
— The driver presses the accelerator pedal, or
— The braking force generated by the pressed
brake pedal is greater than the braking force
that would be initiated by the system
— The ESC, the brake system, or the vehicle elec-
trical system is not functioning

ZA\ WARNING
— The ESC and its integrated systems cannot
overcome the limits imposed by natural
physical laws. This is especially important on
slippery or wet roads. If the systems begin
acting to stabilize your vehicle, you should
immediately alter your speed to match the
road
and traffic conditions. Do not let the in-
creased safety provided tempt you into tak-
ing risks. This could increase your risk of a
collision.
— Please note the risk of a collision increases
when driving fast, especially through curves
and on slippery or wet roads, and when driv-
ing too close to objects ahead. There is still
a risk of accidents because the ESC and its
integrated systems cannot always prevent
collisions.
— Accelerate carefully when driving on
smooth, slippery surfaces such as ice and
snow. The drive wheels can spin even when
these control systems are installed and this
can affect driving stability and increase the
risk of a collision.
(i) Tips
— The ABS and ASR only function correctly
when all four wheels have a similar wear
condition. Different tire sizes can lead toa
reduction in motor power.
— You may hear noises when the systems de-
scribed are working.
The 0 button is located above the selector lev-
er in the center console.

The ESC is automatically switched on when the
ignition is switched on. It may make sense in >

@ Peripheral camera and night vision camera in
the radiator grille
The rearview camera can only detect the area
marked in red > fig. 99. Only this area is dis-
played on the upper display. > A\.

Z\ WARNING
There are areas that the cameras cannot de-
tect. Objects, animals, and people may only
be detected with limitations may not be de-
tected at all. Always monitor the traffic and
the vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

® Note
— Obstacles may disappear from the detection
area when approaching them, even if they
were already detected. Under certain cir-
cumstances, the detection and display of
certain surfaces and objects may be limited:
— Items and objects above the coverage
area, for example cars parked bumper-to-
bumper, half-open garage doors, or hang-
ing objects that do not touch the ground
— Low obstacles
—Thin or narrow objects, such as barrier
chains, foliage, poles or fences
— Projecting objects, such as trailer draw
bars
— Objects with certain surfaces and struc-
tures, such as fabric
@® Tips
— The coverage areas of the cameras > fig. 98
and > fig. 99 are diagrams and do not repre-
sent a true-to-scale image of the camera
coverage areas.
— Make sure all the cameras are clean, free of
snow and ice, and are not covered by stick-
ers, deposits or any other obstructions, be-
cause this may impair the function of the
systems. Follow the information about
cleaning > page 263.
— The camera can shift from an accident, man-
ual force, impacts, or from damage to the
radiator grill, bumper, wheel housing or un-
derbody. Have an authorized Audi dealer or
126
authorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
—The function of the cameras may be limited
when light and visibility conditions are poor,
for example when driving into a tunnel,
when there is glare, or when there are re-
flective objects.
— Use the image on the display to assist you
only if it shows a good, clear picture. For ex-
ample, the image may be affected by the
sun shining into the lens, by dirt on the
lens, or if there is a malfunction.
— The camera view on the display portrays an
enlarged and distorted image. Under cer-
tain circumstances, objects may appear dif-
ferent and unclear on the display.

Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The parking system plus assists you while park-
ing using audio and visual signals to warn you
about objects detected in front of, behind, and at
the sides* of the vehicle > page 160.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the MMI display. The lines in the rear-
view camera image help you to park and maneu-
ver > page 162.
The peripheral cameras are an addition to the
rearview camera and help you to see various
areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-
neuvering > page 162.
The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-
proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or
exiting a parking space > page 166.

Z\ WARNING
Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.

@® Tips
Practicing parking in a traffic-free location or
parking lot to become familiar with the sys-
tems is recommended. Practice parking in
good light and weather conditions.

detected with limitations may not be detect-
ed at all. Always monitor the traffic and the
vehicle's surroundings directly and do not
become distracted.

® Note
Keep enough distance from the curb to avoid
damage to the rims.
G) Tips
—The side area * > page 124, fig. 96 is de-
tected and evaluated when passing. There
may have been changes to the surrounding
area after switching the ignition off and on
again, after opening the doors, or if the ve-
hicle is left stationary for a period of time.
In this case, the area will appear black until
the area has been detected and evaluated.
— If the distance to an obstacle remains con-
stant, the volume of the distance warning
gradually lowers after a few seconds until it
is muted (this does not apply to the continu-
ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than
it was before the sound was muted, the
tone will sound again. If the obstacle be-
comes farther away than it was before the
sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay
attention to the vehicle's surroundings
when you start to drive.
— There is no distance warning for the rear
and the sides* when trailer towing mode is
detected. The front sensors remain activat-
ed. The visual display switches to trailer
mode. There is no guarantee the functions
will switch off when using a retrofitted trail-
er hitch.
