Fig. 123 Upper display: distance indicator
If the sensors detect an obstacle, audible and vis-
ual signals will warn you.
Visual warnings
The visual warnings in the upper display help you
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate
the distance to an obstacle.
Red segments (2) show detected obstacles that
are in your vehicle's path. The red lines @) mark
the expected direction of travel based on the
steering angle. A white segment (8) indicates a
detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-
cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-
hicle. The collision area has been reached when
the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles
in the collision area, including those outside of
the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-
tinue driving farther.
Audio signals
The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-
cle, the shorter the time between the audible sig-
nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle
is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away
from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-
ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than
approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the >

Parking and maneuvering


— Park assist plus is an assist system. The driv-
er is still responsible for monitoring the ve-
hicle's surroundings and preventing colli-
sions when using the system.
— When using park assist plus to drive into or
out of a parking space, the steering wheel
turns quickly on its own. Reaching into the
steering wheel spokes while this is happen-
ing can result in injury.
— 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.

@) Tips
— You can reduce the speed specified by the
system at any time by pressing the brake
pedal.
— The system can incorrectly interpret parking
space barriers (such as parking curbs). Take
over the parking process = page 175 if the
vehicle is not completely inside the parking
space or if the vehicle tries to drive over the
parking space barrier.
— The image in the display is an enlarged and
distorted image. Under certain circumstan-
ces, objects may appear different and un-
clear on the display. This is especially true if
there are objects that do not touch the
ground, such as the bumper of a parked ve-
hicle or the rear of a truck. Drive with spe-
cial care and do not use the image if neces-
sary.
— Applies to vehicles with air suspension: The
accuracy of the orientation lines and green
surfaces in the display decreases when the
vehicle is raised or lowered with the air sus-
pension.

Exiting a parking space with park assist
Pye oa)
Applies to: vehicles with park assist plus
If you parked the vehicle in a parallel parking
space, park assist plus can help you drive out of
it.
> Start the engine.
> Press P@ in the lower display.
> Wait until a message appears on the upper dis-
play that requests you to select the direction to
travel in when exiting the parking space.
> Activate the turn signal on the desired side or
press that side next to the vehicle in the upper
display.
> Remove your hands from the steering wheel.
> Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If the
traffic situation permits it, press and hold the
>>P] button @ > page 173, fig. 135 and re-
lease the brakes > A\.
> Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If an
obstacle appears, interrupt the parking process
by releasing the [>>P] button. The vehicle re-
mains stopped.
> To resume the parking process, press and hold
the [>>P| button again.
> The process of exiting the parking space has
ended if additional corrective movements are
no longer necessary and the specified steering
wheel angle is sufficient to drive out of the
parking space. Resume control of the steering
wheel >@).






Pause park assist plus > page 175.

Z\ WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— Press and hold the [>>P] button only if you
are sure that there are no obstacles in the
vehicle's path or under the vehicle, and that
no obstacles will move into the vehicle's
path. >

Parking and maneuvering


— 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
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.


176
@) 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.
G) 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
the regulations for using remote controlled
parking that are applicable in the country
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. >

Parking and maneuvering

@) Tips
— When parking in garages, you can be
straight in front of the garage or at a slight
angle in front of the garage. You will have
the best results when you align and stop
your vehicle as straight as possible in front
of the garage.
— 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.
