Parking and maneuvering

@) Tips
— If you did not drive past a suitable parking
space too quickly, the system can also be ac-
tivated afterward by pressing Pe.
— The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC)
must not be switched off during the parking
process. If the ESC intervenes, the parking
process will be canceled.
— 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 (4)
=> page 170, fig. 131 so that the sensors
can measure the space.
— You cannot park with the parking assist sys-
tems when you are towing a trailer or have
the connector inserted in the trailer socket.
— The system is not available when certain as-
sist systems are switched on.
— If there are suitable parking spaces on both
sides of the street, for example, on a one-
way street, you can change the side where
the system is searching for parking spaces
by activating the turn signal for the other
side or by pressing on that side in the upper
display.
— The park systems do not provide support for
assisted parking on tight curves.
Park assist plus!)2)
General information
Applies to: vehicles with park assist plus
Park assist plus parks the vehicle after the park-
ing space search and also exits the parking space.
While the driver presses and holds the [>>P] but-
ton and monitors the vehicle's surroundings, park
assist plus controls the steering, gear selection,
acceleration, and braking.

ket.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
— The driver is always responsible when enter-
ing or exiting a parking space and during
similar maneuvers.
— Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot
move freely, for example when on a vehicle
jack.
— 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.

@) Note
— Do not use park assist plus when transport-
ing cargo that extends outside of the vehicle
or when snow chains are mounted.
— Park assist plus and remote controlled park-
ing guides the vehicle either away from
curbs or onto them if other vehicles are
parked on the curb. Make sure that your ve-
hicle's tires and rims are not damaged. Re-
sume control of the vehicle 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 us-
ing park assist plus. Park assist plus may be
prohibited in some countries. The system may
be unavailable in countries where it has been
deactivated in order to comply with legal reg-
ulations. Data will not be transmitted to Audi. >

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.

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 >@).

Remote controlled
parking!)2)
General information
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.

Parking and maneuvering


— Failing to pay careful attention to the vehi-
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.

G) 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
with you during the entire remote control-
led parking process.
— Remote controlled parking may be restrict-
ed or unavailable in situations such as the
following:
— If the ESC is restricted or switched off, or
if there is a malfunction.
— If there is another vehicle key inside the
vehicle or nearby.
— The system can incorrectly interpret parking
space barriers (such as parking curbs). Take
over the parking process > page 180 if the
vehicle is not completely inside the parking
space or if the vehicle tries to drive over the
parking space barrier.
