ing space so that it is hidden by adjacent
vehicles.



— Once an automatic brake activation occurs,
the system cannot initiate another activa-
tion for several seconds.
— System functions may not be available if the
ESC is limited or switched off, or if there is a
malfunction.
— If there is an acoustic warning signal from
the rear cross-traffic assist, then the park-
ing aid may not warn you of detected obsta-
cles under certain circumstances.
— The coverage areas of the sensors > fig. 143
are diagrams and do not represent a true-
to-scale image of the sensor ranges.

Assisted parking
General information
Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking

If your vehicle is equipped with park assist plus
or remote park assist plus, these systems will
help you to find suitable parking spaces. Parking
spaces are measured using ultrasonic sensors on
the sides of the vehicle. Depending on vehicle
equipment, the laser scanner may also improve
the measurement.
If a parking space is found, the systems will help
you to park while the driver monitors the vehi-
cle's surroundings with the parking aids, cam-
eras*, and direct eye contact.

Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 150.


D_ Only remote controlled parking.

@ Tips
— If there is enough space in a two-car garage,
the system automatically selects the park-
ing position in front of the vehicle that the
driver has selected.
— You can also drive into a perpendicular park-
ing space yourself and then activate the sys-
tem. If this is the case, the front of the vehi-
cle should already be in the space () so that
the sensors can measure the space.

ere eeuel ela)
Applies to: vehicles with remote park assist plus
Remote controlled parking is part of park assist
plus/park assist plus with garage function. The
process for parking or exiting a parking space can
be controlled with a mobile device from outside
the vehicle. To do so, the driver must have both
the vehicle key and the mobile device with him or
her. While the driver controls the vehicle remote-
ly and monitors the vehicle's surroundings, the
system controls the steering, gear selection, ac-
celeration, braking, and locking the vehicle.

— Remote controlled parking is only an assist
system. The driver is always responsible for
maneuvering, driving, and stopping the ve-
hicle and performing other driving maneu-
vers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— Failing to pay careful attention to the vehi-
cle's surroundings increases the risk of an
accident. Sensors and cameras have spots in
which the surrounding area cannot be de-
tected. Objects, animals, and people may
only be detected with limitations may not
be detected at all. Always monitor the traf-
fic as well as the vehicle's surroundings with
direct eye contact. Stay near the vehicle
while controlling it. Make sure you have a
clear view of the vehicle and the area sur-
rounding it. Do not become distracted.
— Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm
system: There is a risk of fatal injury for peo-
ple locked in the vehicle, especially children.
The vehicle is locked during remote control-
led parking. Make sure there are no persons
inside the vehicle both before and after us-
ing
remote controlled parking.
— There is a risk of asphyxiation. Never allow
the engine to run in confined spaces. After
remote controlled parking, make sure the
engine is off.
— Malfunctions when using the myAudi app in-
crease the risk of an accident. Do not exit
the app during the parking process, and
make sure that it does not go into the device
background, for example by accepting an in-
coming call. Observe the operating instruc-
tions from the manufacturer of your mobile
device.
— There is a risk of accident if the connection is
interrupted. In certain situations, the con-
nection between the mobile device and the
vehicle can be interrupted, for example from
other radio devices or when the distance to

traffic situation permits, park your vehicle in
the parking space using the mobile device
> JX. The vehicle key and the mobile device
cannot be more than approximately 20 feet
(6 m) away from the vehicle.
> Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. In un-
clear situations, pause the parking process us-
ing
the mobile device. For example, this may be
necessary if an obstacle appears or the vehicle
comes very close to an obstacle.
> To resume the parking process, start it again on
the mobile device. The rest of the parking proc-
ess will be recalculated based on the vehicle po-
sition.
End of the parking process
If an obstacle appears, stop the parking process
=> page 206.
The parking process will end automatically once
the vehicle has reached the end point in the park-
ing space. Once parking is successfully complet-
ed, the parking lock will be engaged, the parking
brake will be set, and the engine will switch off.
The vehicle will also be locked.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and

cle's surroundings increases the risk of an
accident. Park your vehicle with the mobile
device only if you are sure that no obstacle is
in the vehicle's path or under the vehicle,
and that no obstacles will move into the ve-
hicle's path.
@ Tips
— If the parking space is located in a garage, it
must be detected correctly by the vehicle.
When the parking space is detected com-
pletely, the edges of the space will be high-
lighted @).
— The parking process can only be started if
the vehicle key is located outside the vehicle
after the vehicle is prepared. Always keep
both the vehicle key and the mobile device
