Audi side assist
Fitting locations
In the Audi Q7, the two control unit modules are located in the area of the rear bumper and fastened to the
end plate. The end plate is clipped to the bumper cover and bolted to the body. The bumper conceals the
modules, making them invisible from the outside, unlike the parking aid sensors. Because the bumper cover is
made of plastic, it does not represent an obstacle to radar beams.
The modules are installed at an angle of 22 degrees with respect to the vehicle transversal axis, providing
better coverage for scanning the side areas. They are inclined upwards at an angle of approx. 3 degrees.
Once fastened to the vehicle, precise calibration is conducted using the diagnostic tester and special
calibration tools.
Calibration and the tools required are described in more detail in a later chapter.
A mechanical fine adjustment, as familiar from the ACC, is not possible for the side assist sensors.
