Messages
a | or & is displayed when there is a malfunc-
tion, the emergency assist functions may be un-
available or may be limited.
A message that indicates the cause and possible
solution may appear with some displays. The
weather conditions may be too poor or a sensor
may be covered. Clean the area in front of the
sensors > page 123 and try to turn the system on
again later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.


AN WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 121.
— The emergency assist is an assist system
that should only be used in cases of emer-
gency to take over control of the vehicle and
bring it to a stop.


) This function is not available in every market and on all ve-
hicle equipment levels.
158
(i) Tips
— Depending on the severity of the detected
situation, not all safety measures will be ini-
tiated. Certain functions can be adjusted or
skipped if necessary.
— If the emergency assist was triggered, it will
only be available again after a brief period.

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 173 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.

ket.

Parking and maneuvering

@) Tips

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.

the brakes. The system will detect objects that
are approximately 8 inches (20 cm) high or high-
er.
