Switching on
> Shift into reverse, or
> Press the Pv button in the center console
> fig. 84. A short confirmation tone sounds and
the LED in the button turns on.
Switching off
> Drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), or
> Press the P button, or
> Switch the ignition off.
Activating automatically
The parking aid is activated automatically at
speeds less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and when ap-
proaching an obstacle from approximately
3.1 feet (95 cm) away. There are audible signals
when approximately 1.6 ft (50 cm) away from the
obstacle. If you press the P” button to switch the
parking aid off, it can only be reactivated auto-
matically when one of the following conditions is
met:
— The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
— The ignition is switched off and back on again
— The parking brake is set and then released
82
— The selector lever must be in the "P" position.
Segments in the visual display
The segments in front of and behind the vehicle
(vehicles with parking system plus”) > fig. 85
help you to determine the distance between your
vehicle and an obstacle. The red lines mark the
expected direction of travel according to the
steering angle. A white segment indicates an
identified obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. Red segments show identified obstacles
that are in your vehicle's path. As your vehicle
comes closer to the obstacle, the segments move
closer to the vehicle. The collision area has been
reached when the next to last segment is dis-
played. Obstacles in the collision area, including
those outside of the vehicle's path, are shown in
red. Do not continue driving forward or in reverse

reason, follow all the warnings and general
safety precautions provided in the following in-
formation. The engine compartment is a dan-
gerous area. > /\.
ZA WARNING
— Turn the engine off.
— Switch the ignition off.
— Set the parking brake.
— Select the “P” (Park) selector lever position.
— Allow the engine to cool.
— Keep children away from the engine com-
partment.
— Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu-
ids (such as the freeze protection contained
in the coolant) can catch fire.
— Avoid short circuits in the electrical system.
— Never reach into the radiator fan. The fan is
temperature-controlled and can turn on
suddenly, even when the ignition is switched
off.
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the engine compart-
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— Never open the cap on the coolant expan-
sion tank when the engine is warm. The
cooling system is under pressure.
— To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
thick cloth when opening.
— Do not remove the engine cover under any
circumstances. This increases the risk of
burns.
— Due to the risk of electric shock, never touch
the ignition cable or other components in
the electronic high-voltage ignition system
when the engine is running or is starting.
— If a gear is engaged while the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is running, do not
press the accelerator pedal inadvertently.
Pressing the accelerator pedal will cause the
vehicle to move, and this could result in an
accident.
— If inspections or repairs must be performed
while the engine is running, moving compo-
nents (such as the ribbed belt, generator,
and radiator fan) pose an additional risk.
— Set the parking brake first and select the
“P” (Park) selector lever position.
— Always make sure that no parts of the
body, jewelry, ties, loose clothing, and
long hair can be caught in moving engine
components. Before any work, always re-
move any jewelry and ties, tie back long
hair, and make sure all clothing fits close
to the body to to reduce the risk of any-
thing becoming caught in engine compo-
nents.
— Pay attention to the following warnings list-
ed when work on the fuel system or on the
electrical equipment is required.
— Do not smoke.
— Never work near open flames.
— Always have a working fire extinguisher
nearby.
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
— Limit your exposure to exhaust and chemi-
cals to as short a time as possible.
ZA WARNING
California Proposition 65 Warning:
— Engine exhaust, some of its constituents,
and certain vehicle components contain or
emit chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer and birth defects and
reproductive harm. In addition, certain flu-
ids contained in vehicles and certain prod-
ucts of component wear contain or emit
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
— Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harms.
Wash hands after handling.

Emergency assistance
If the vehicle should be towed with the axle
raised, then the ignition must be switched off to
reduce the risk of damage to the drivetrain.
Tow bar and towing cable
The vehicle can be towed with a tow bar or tow-
ing cable. Both drivers should be familiar with
the special considerations when towing, especial-
ly when using a towing cable.
Always make sure the traction force does not ex-
ceed the permitted level and there are no shock
loading conditions. There is always the risk of the
coupling becoming overloaded when driving off-
road.
For the most safety and security, drive with a tow
bar. You should use a towing cable only if a tow
bar is not available. Use a towing cable made of
synthetic elastic cable similar elastic material.
ZA\ WARNING
— Towing highly increases the risk of an acci-
dent, for example from colliding with the
towing vehicle.
— To reduce the risk of an accident, do not al-
low anyone to remain inside the vehicle
when it is being transported by a tow truck
or a special transporter.
@) Note
— If normal towing is not possible, for exam-
ple if the transmission is faulty or if the
towing distance is greater than 30 miles
(50 km), then transport the vehicle on a
special carrier.
— If the vehicle is towed by a tow truck at the
axle that is not permitted, this can cause se-
vere damage to the transmission.
— The vehicle must not be tow started for
technical reasons.
@) Tips
—If there is a power failure, the selector lever
will not move out of the "P" position. The
parking lock must be released using the
D_ Requirement: the vehicle battery must have a sufficient
charge level.
emergency release before towing the vehi-
cle > page 68.
— Follow the local legal regulations for tow-
ing.
Read and follow the important information under
=> page 274.
Preparations
> Only secure the towing cable or tow bar at the
designated towing loops > page 276,
=> page 276.
> Make sure the towing cable is not twisted. Oth-
erwise it could disconnect from the towing loop
while towing.
» Switch the emergency flashers on in both vehi-
cles > page 40. However, do not do this if it
prohibited by law.
Towing vehicle (front)
> Only start to drive when the towing cable is
taut.
> Be especially careful when accelerating.
> Avoid sudden braking or driving maneuvers.
Vehicle being towed (rear)
» Make sure the ignition is switched on so that
the steering wheel is not locked and so that you
can use the turn signals, the horn, and the
windshield wipers if needed > A\.
> The brake booster only works when the engine
is running. Power steering only works when the
ignition is switched on and the vehicle is roll-
ing )). If the brake booster and power steering
are not functioning, you must press the brake
pedal much harder and use more force to steer.
> Release the parking brake > page 59.
> Select the "N" selector lever position.
