Parking aids
- Please note that the park assist only
han­

dles the steering. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking and accelerat­

ing.

- It is the driver's responsibility to decide
whether a parking space shown in the dis­
play is suitable for the vehicLe.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during
the parking manoeuvre. Please take all nec­
essary measures to ensure that other road
users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own
when parking the vehicle and leaving the

space.
Injury may result if
a
person reaches
between the spokes on the steering wheel
when it is turning.

(T)
CAUTION
- Please observe the safety warnings
•=>©
in
General notes on page 134.
- In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicLe onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to
take over the steering wheel in order to pre­
vent damage to the tyres and/or wheel

rims.

- Certain conditions in and around the park­
ing space can cause unexpected results
when parking.
- Pillars, posts, etc.
- Loose gravel, snow, ice, etc.
© Note
-The electronic stabilisation control (ESC)
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre
^>page
146.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the
vehicle on tight bends.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the
vehicle if
a
trailer is attached and the elec­
trical connector for the trailer socket is
plugged in.

road will be scanned.

•
To park parallel to the roadside, drive forwards
at not more than 30 km/h. Or:

•
To park perpendicular to the roadside, drive
forwards at not more than 20 km/h.

•
The system will display
a
parking space when it
finds one
^Fig.
137. Please check that the
parking space is suitable for your vehicle.

•
To park using the system, follow the instruc­
tions on the display.
If
you
exceed a speed of about 50 km/h, the park
assist will be switched off.
The park assist will display
a
parking space only if
it is Long and wide enough for the vehicLe.
© Note
-You can select any one of the parking op­
tions found. The potential parking space is
displayed until you have driven too far away
from it.
- You can activate the park assist after you
have already driven past a parking space (as
long as you were driving slowly enough). To
do so, press the
P©
button and operate the
turn signal.
- The system displays the right or left side of
the
road,
depending on which turn signals
you operate.
- The best parking results will be achieved if
you position the vehicle as parallel as possi­
ble to the line of parked cars or the kerb be­
fore you start the actual parking manoeu­

vre.

- If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the road (for instance on a one-way
street), you can change the direction of the
turn signals to park on the other side, even
if
you
have already activated the park assist.

Intelligent technology
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being

generated,
and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
® Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp
|3 ^page
31 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicLe battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is
con­

sumed,
but only
a
small amount is supplied. The
situation is also critical if electrical equipment is
in use when the engine is not running. In this
case power is consumed when none is being
gen­

erated.

In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
con­

trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote controL unlocking, may not be availa­

ble.
These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
150
With the engine switched off
If
you
listen to the radio or use the other info­
tainment functions when the engine is not
run­

ning,
this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a Lev­
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if
you
wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis­
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only
a
small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem
will
then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If
you
notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not

working,
they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicLe bat­
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The controL units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele­
vant to the vehicLe while you are driving. In the •

Intelligent technology

event of faults or anomalies in the vehicLe data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved

data.
Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Direction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control units installed will not under any cir­
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicLe is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detaiLed infor­
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data
such as impact speed, seat belt status, seat
posi­

tions and trigger times can be saved. The exact
information saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub­
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun­

tries.

Reprogramming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock­
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any
con­

venience features are reprogrammed, the infor­
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been

changed.
We recommend having the reprogram­
ming approved.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possibLe reprogramming op­

tions.

Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory Located in the
footweLL
on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regard­
ing the operation and status of the vehicle's elec­
tronic control units is stored in the event memo­
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by
a
qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions - risk of accident!
