Parking and maneuvering


A WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 141.
— The Surroundings view is created from the
individual camera images. The vehicle image
is shown by the system. Objects and obsta-
cles above the camera are not displayed.
@® _ Note
— 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.
— 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
corner of the vehicle does not collide with
any obstacles.
Gy Tips
— Depending on the selected gear, it will auto-
matically switch between the Front and
Rear views. If you switch the view manually,
the automatic front/rear camera change will
be temporarily deactivated.
— When first activated while a forward gear is
engaged, the Front corner is displayed.

Rear cross-traffic assist

Fig. 142 Center display: rear cross-traffic assist display
General information
The rear cross-traffic assist monitors the area be-
hind and next to the vehicle using radar sensors
at the rear corners of the vehicle. The system can
detect moving objects that are approaching, such
as vehicles > fig. 141. A display in the MMI and
various warnings provide assistance when exiting
a parking space.
Requirements
— The parking aid is switched on > page 174 or
reverse gear is selected.
— The speed when driving in reverse must not be
higher than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
Displays, warnings, and braking
— Display: the display @ appears only when the
parking aid is active. For vehicles with peripher-
al cameras, this only happens in the Rear and
Rear corner camera views. Arrows show the di-
rection from which the cross traffic is approach-
ing.
— Audible warnings: a continuous tone may
sound as an additional warning when driving in
reverse.
— Automatic brake activation: if you do not react
to a warning, a brief braking by the system can
warn you of a potential collision with an ap-
proaching object.
The audible warning signal and the automatic
brake activation occur only when driving in re-
verse.
Switching on and off
— Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-

Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following options may be available:
— Connecting a cell phone with Bluetooth
— Using two telephones

ZX WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
=> page 27 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
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 motor off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter > page 20,

tance of approximately 2.4 in (6 cm) to the
Audi phone box charging plate. The thresh-
olds for prolonged exposure at this distance
comply with ICNIRP1998. Therefore, inter-
actions such as irritation of sensory organs,
malfunctions of active implants (such as
pacemakers, infusion pumps, or neurosti-
mulators) or effects on passive implants
(such as prosthetic limbs) is highly unlikely.
If you have an implant, consult a medical
specialist if you have any questions. You can
