Introduction
Depending on the vehicle equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
Parking system
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
next to* the vehicle > page 127.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the center display. The lines in the rear-
view camera image help you to park and maneu-
ver > page 129.
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 129.
The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-
proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or
exiting a parking space > page 133.
Assisted parking
Park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces and to park in and exit these spaces while
the driver monitors the area around the vehicle
and
controls the parking process. Park assist con-
trols the steering movements when parking in
free parking spaces. The driver is still responsible
for accelerating, braking, and shifting gears
=> page 134.
Settings options
You can adjust parking system functions individu-
ally. The adjustment options depend on the vehi-
cle equipment.

Parking and maneuvering
Entertainment fader - The volume of the audio/
video source is Lowered when the parking system
is activated.
The new level is demonstrated briefly* when the
volume is adjusted.
Error messages
If P4 appears, the sensor in the respective area
or the speaker is faulty. Drive immediately to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the malfunction repaired. The
LED in the Ps button may also flash when the
system is activated.
iff or Ba is displayed when there is a malfunc-
tion, the parking system functions may be un-
available or may be limited.
A message that indicates the cause and possible
solution may appear with some displays. The
weather conditions may be too poor or a sensor
may be covered. Clean the area in front of the
sensors > page 106, fig. 86 and try to turn on
the systems again later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
ZA WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 105.
— Sensors and cameras have spots in which
the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
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
trailer hitch.
