Side assist helps you monitor your blind spot and
traffic behind your vehicle. Within the limits of
the system, it warns you about vehicles that are
coming closer or that are traveling with you with-
in sensor range @) > fig. 98: if a lane change is
classified as critical, the display @ in the exterior
mirror © fig. 99 turns on.
The display in the left exterior mirror provides as-
sistance when making a lane change to the left,
while the display in the right exterior mirror pro-
vides assistance when making a lane change to
the right.
Information stage
As long as you do not activate the turn signal,
side assist informs you about vehicles that are
detected and classified as critical. The display in
the mirror turns on, but is dim.
The display remains dim in the information stage
so that your view toward the front is not distur-
bed.
Warning stage
If you activate the turn signal, side assist warns
you about vehicles that are detected and classi-
fied as critical. The display in the respective mir-
ror blinks brightly. If this happens, check traffic
by glancing in the exterior mirrors and over your
shoulder > A\ in General information on
page 94.
You can adjust the brightness on of the dis-
play on the rearview mirror > page 95.

Fig. 106 Optical distance display
Switching on
> Shift into reverse, or
> Press the P~ button in the center console
> fig. 105. A short confirmation tone sounds
and the LED in the button turns on.
Switching off
> Drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), or
> Press the P button, or
> Switch the ignition off.
Activating automatically
The parking aid is activated automatically at
speeds less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and when ap-
proaching an obstacle from approximately
3.1 feet (95 cm) away. There are audible signals
when approximately 1.6 feet (50 cm) away from
the obstacle. If you press the Pa button to switch
the parking aid off, it can only be reactivated au-
tomatically when one of the following conditions
is met:
— The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
— The ignition is switched off and back on again
— The parking brake is set and then released
100
— The selector lever must be in the "P" position.
Segments in the visual display
The segments in front of and behind the vehicle
(vehicles with parking system plus*) > fig. 106
help you to determine the distance between your
vehicle and an obstacle. The red lines mark the
expected direction of travel according to the
steering angle. A white segment indicates an
identified obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's
path. Red segments show identified obstacles
that are in your vehicle's path. As your vehicle
comes closer to the obstacle, the segments move
closer to the vehicle. The collision area has been
reached when the next to last segment is dis-
played. Obstacles in the collision area, including
those outside of the vehicle's path, are shown in
red. Do not continue driving forward or in reverse

Fig. 109 Luggage compartment lid: location of the rear-
view camera
The rearview camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. Make sure that the lens for
the parking system > fig. 709 is not covered by
deposits or any other obstructions because this
can impair the function of the parking system.
For information on cleaning, see > page 236.
The rearview camera coverage area includes (1)
=> fig. 108. Only this area is shown in the Info-
tainment display. Objects that are in area (2),
which is not covered, are not displayed.
ZA\ WARNING
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings > A\ in Introduction on page 98.
— If the position and the installation angle of
the rearview camera was changed, for exam-
ple after a collision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons. Have it
checked by an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility.
— Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin-
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens, or if there
is a malfunction.
— Use the rearview camera only if 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 camera lens enlarges and distorts the
field of vision. The object appears both al-
tered and inaccurate on the screen.
—Incertain situations, people or objects in the
display appear closer or farther away:
— For objects that do not touch the ground,
such as the bumper of a parked vehicle, a
trailer hitch or the rear of a truck. Do not
use
the orientation lines in this case.
— If driven from a level surface onto an in-
cline, or a downward slope.
— If driven toward protruding objects.
— If the vehicle is carrying too much load in
the rear.
CG) Note
— Always read and follow the applicable warn-
ings >@ in Introduction on page 98.
— The orange-colored orientation lines in the
Infotainment display show the vehicle path
based on the steering wheel angle. 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 cor-
ner of the vehicle does not collide with any
obstacles.

Checking and Filling
— Only refill with new coolant.
— Radiator sealant must not be mixed with
the coolant.
— You can continue driving if the permitted
G12evo coolant additive was not added.
However, go to an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility immediately
to have the coolant replaced to reduce the
risk of engine damage.
— Due to the risk of engine damage, the cool-
ing system should only be refilled by an au-
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility. An authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility can also pro-
vide
you with important information about
the recommended coolant additive.

Observe the safety precautions > page 200, Gen-
eral information.
Checking the coolant level
>» Park the vehicle on a level surface.
> Switch the ignition off.
> Open the hood > page 202.
> Check the coolant level in the coolant expan-
sion tank > page 203, fig. 168 using the outer
markings @) > fig. 177. The coolant level must
be between the markings 2) when the engine is
cold. When the engine is warm it can be slight-
ly above the upper marking.
Adding coolant
Requirement: there must be a residual amount of
coolant in the expansion tank >@).
208
If you must add coolant, use a mixture of water
and coolant additive. Audi recommends mixing
the coolant additive with distilled water.
> Allow the engine to cool.
> Place a large, thick towel on the coolant expan-
sion tank cap.
> Remove the cover (1) > fig. 777 carefully to the
left > AX.
» Add the correct mixture ratio of coolant
> page 207 up to the upper marking @)
> fig. 177.
» Make sure that the fluid level remains stable.
Add more coolant if necessary.
> Close the cap securely.
Coolant loss usually indicates that there is a leak.
Immediately drive your vehicle to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, coolant loss can re-
sult from the coolant boiling due overheating
and then being forced out of the cooling system.
Z\ WARNING
— The motor compartment in any vehicle is a
potentially dangerous area. Stop the engine
and allow it to cool before working in the
engine compartment. Always follow the in-
formation found in > page 200, General in-
formation.
— Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the motor
compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. The cooling system is under pressure.
When you no longer see or hear steam or
coolant escaping, you may open the motor
compartment with caution.
— When working in the engine compartment,
remember that the radiator fan can switch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of injury.
— Coolant additive and coolant can be danger-
ous to your health. For this reason, store the
coolant in the original container and away
from children. There is a risk of poisoning.
