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 (SO cm) away from the
obstacle. If you press the Pa 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
— 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. 107
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

Fig. 110 Luggage compartment lid: location of the rear-
view camera
The rearview camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. Make sure that the lens for
the parking system > fig. 110 is not covered by
deposits or any other obstructions because this
can impair the function of the parking system.
For information on cleaning, see > page 235.
The rearview camera coverage area includes (4)
=> fig. 109. Only this area is shown in the Info-
tainment display. Objects that are in area Q),
which is not covered, are not displayed.
ZA\ WARNING
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings > A in Introduction on page 99.
— If the position and the installation angle of
the rearview camera was changed, for exam-
ple 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.
— Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it
shows a good, clear picture. For example,
102
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.
—Incertain 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.
@) Note
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings >@ in Introduction on page 99.
— 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
the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of
distance so that an exterior mirror or a cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.

Cold min. 50% max. -40 °F
regions max. 55% (-40 °C)
@) Note
— Before the start of winter, have an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility check if the coolant additive in your
vehicle matches the percentage appropriate
for the climate. This is especially important
when driving in colder climates.
— If the appropriate coolant additive is not
available in an emergency, do not add any
other additive. You could damage the en-
gine. If this happens, only use water and re-
store the correct mixture ratio with the
specified coolant additive as soon as possi-
ble.
— Only refill with new coolant.
— Radiator sealant must not be mixed with
the coolant.
— Due to the risk of engine damage, the cool-
ing system should only be refilled by an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility. An authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility can also pro-
vide you with important information about
the recommended coolant additive.

Checking the coolant level
> Park the vehicle on a level surface.
>» Switch the ignition off.
> Open the hood > page 201.
> Check the coolant level in the coolant expan-
sion tank > page 202, fig. 170 using the outer
markings @) > fig. 173. The coolant level must
be between the markings @) when the engine is
cold. When the engine is warm it can be slight-
ly above the upper marking.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a residual amount of
coolant in the expansion tank >@.
If you must add coolant, use a mixture of water
and coolant additive. Mixing the coolant additive
with distilled water is recommended.
> Allow the engine to cool.
> Place a large, thick towel on the coolant expan-
sion tank cap.
>» Remove the cover () > fig. 173 carefully to the
left > A\.
» Add the correct mixture ratio of coolant
> page 206 up to the upper marking @)
> fig. 173.
> Make sure that the fluid level remains stable.
Add more coolant if necessary.
> Close the cap securely.
Coolant loss usually indicates that there is a leak.
Immediately drive your vehicle to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, coolant loss can re-
sult from the coolant boiling due overheating
and then being forced out of the cooling system.
Z\ WARNING
— The engine compartment in any vehicle can
be a dangerous area. Stop the engine and al-
low it to cool before working in the engine
compartment. Always follow the informa-
tion found in > page 200, General informa-
tion.
— Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. This increases the risk of >
