the vehicle is too far. Make sure the connec-
tion is sufficient, and when in doubt, resume
parking the vehicle yourself.
— Blocking notifications, tones, and vibrations
increase the risk of an accident. The myAudi
app can only warn you if dangers are detect-
ed if you make sure that your mobile device
allows all notifications, tones, and vibra-
tions for the myAudi app.

@) Note
— Do not use remote controlled parking when
transporting cargo that projects outside of
the vehicle or when snow chains are mount-
ed.
— Remote controlled parking may guide the
vehicle either away from curbs or onto them
if other vehicles are parked on the curb.
Make sure that your vehicle's tires and rims
are not damaged. Resume control of the ve-
hicle in time or stop the parking process if
needed to prevent damage.
— In parking spaces without curbs, maintain a
distance of at least 19 inches (50 cm) from
walls and buildings in order to reduce the
risk of vehicle damage.
@) Tips
— Follow the legal regulations in the country
where you are operating the vehicle when
using remote controlled parking. Remote
controlled parking may be prohibited in
some countries. The system may be unavail-
able in countries where it has been deacti-
vated in order to comply with legal regula-
tions. Data will not be transmitted to Audi.
The driver is always responsible for adhering
to the regulations applicable in the country
where the vehicle is being operated.
— Any individual that uses the mobile device
for remote controlled parking is considered
the driver and is participating in traffic. The
driver is always responsible for adhering to

where the vehicle is being operated.
— Do not endanger any other road users when
using remote controlled parking. Testing re-
mote controlled parking in a parking lot
with minimal traffic is recommended.
— Your mobile device should have a sufficient
battery charge level. If necessary, charge
the mobile device before starting to drive.
— Do not use the remote controlled parking
function with devices that are faulty or dam-
aged or whose function is impaired. Only
use the operating systems approved by the
mobile device manufacturer.
— When using remote controlled parking, al-
ways pay attention to the areas where your
vehicle can be accessed. Check that no one
can enter your vehicle and if the vehicle has
been locked after parking is completed.
Take the vehicle key with you when leaving
the vehicle.

the system automatically selects the park-
ing position in front of the vehicle that the
driver has selected.

ZA WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-

tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter > page 20,
