Fig. 107 Center display: distance display
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
128
Visual warnings
The visual warnings in the center display help you
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate
the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (4) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines (2) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment (8) indicates a
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-
cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-
hicle. The collision area has been reached when
the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles
in the collision area, including those outside of
the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-
tinue driving farther.
Audio signals
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig-
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than
approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the
sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for-
ward or in reverse >(@).

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.
— Applies to: vehicles with park assist: If you
park in short parking spaces using park as-
sist, a continuous tone will sound from the
parking system when the distance to an ob-

ject is less than approximately 0.7 ft
(0.20 m). Do not continue driving farther.
G) Tips
— The segments in the side area* are detected
and analyzed when passing. There may have
been changes to the surrounding area after
switching the ignition off and on again, af-
ter opening the doors, or if the vehicle is left
stationary for a long period of time. In this
scenario, the side area* will appear black
until the area has been detected and evalu-
ated.
— 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 be deactivated when using a retrofitted

General information
There may be different media drives and connec-
tions available depending on the vehicle equip-
ment. For example, you can play media files us-
ing the SD card reader or connect your mobile de-
vices to the Audi music interface and operate
them through the MMI.
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ-
ing the SD card reader and the USB storage de-
vice connection) was tested with a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video files may not be recog-
nized, may play only with restrictions, or may not
play at all.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media to the
factory default settings if functionality is restrict-
ed.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
The media drives do not play files that are pro-
tected by DRM and are identified with the symbol
&.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, CDs/DVDs, or mobile devices. Audi AG is
not responsible for damaged or lost files and me-
dia.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the audio/video files to load, use a storage
medium that only contains audio/video files, and
create subfolders (for example, for each artist or
album).
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi-
tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
