2021 AUDI A6 rear view mirror

Driver assistance

The display brightness is automatically adapted
to the ambient light. If the automatic adaptation
has already reached the upper or lower limit, no
change will be apparent when the setting is
changed, or it will only become visible when the
ambient light changes. Adjust the brightness to a
level where the display in the information stage
will not disrupt your view ahead. If you change
the brightness, the display will briefly show the
brightness level in the information stage.

may be covered. Clean the sensor area at the rear
corners of the vehicle > page 124, fig. 92 and try

ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.

Fig. 115 Front door: warning strip
General information
Within system limits, the exit warning system
can detect traffic approaching from behind such
as vehicles, and provide assistance based on this
information when you are exiting the vehicle
=> fig. 114. The system uses the data from the ra-
dar sensors at the rear corners of the vehicle.
Displays and warnings
If you pull a door handle while the vehicle is sta-
tionary and an object classified as critical is ap-
proaching, the warning strip @ and the display
on the exterior mirror (2) will light up on the cor-
responding side of the vehicle. The opening of
the door will also be slowed briefly.
If the door is opened, the displays on that side
will flash. If another road user that is classified
as critical is approaching while a door is already
open, the displays on that door will turn on.
The same messages apply for the exit warning
system and side assist > page 156.
Switching the exit warning on and off
—The system can be switched on and off in the
MMI = page 125.

ZA\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.
— Always pay attention to traffic and to the
area around your vehicle. The exit warning
system does not replace the attention of the
vehicle occupants. The vehicle occupants are
always responsible for opening the doors
and exiting the vehicle. >

Parking and maneuvering


Applies to: vehicles with rearview camera/peripheral cameras

Fig. 122 Upper display: aiming at a parking space
When parking with the rearview camera or pe-
ripheral camera, the parking system plus audio
and visual warnings* will also assist you
=> page 161.
Visual orientation lines
@ The orange orientation lines show the vehi-
cle's direction of travel >@. Turn the steer-
ing wheel until the orange orientation lines
align with the parking space.
@) Use the blue markings to help you estimate
the distance to an obstacle. Each marking
represents approximately 3 feet (1 meter).
The blue area represents an extension of the
vehicle's outline by approximately 16 feet (5
meters) to the rear.
@® You can recognize the rear bumper in the
lower display.
@ You should stop driving in reverse when the
red orientation line touches the edge of an
object, at the latest.
Symbols
If 2/&9/< is displayed and the display area
represented by that symbol is not available, then
the camera on the that side is not available. The
power exterior mirrors may have been folded in
or a door or the luggage compartment lid may
have been opened.
If # is displayed, there is a system malfunction
and the display area represented by that symbol
is not available. The camera is not working in this
area.
164
If Avis displayed, the respective ultrasonic sensor
is icy or dirty. Clean the area in front of the sen-
sors > page 124.
If one of the symbols continues to be displayed,
drive immediately to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility to have the mal-
function repaired.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 122.
— 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
— The orange orientation lines @ show the di-
rection the rear of the vehicle will be travel-
ing, 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.
— Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
— Only use the images provided by the camera
on the rear of the vehicle when 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.
G) Tips
Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and blue sur-
faces on the camera display decreases when
the vehicle is raised or lowered with the air
suspension.
