Parking systems
General information
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking system/pa rking system
plus
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various
parking aids will help you when parking and ma-
neuvering.
The
rear parking system is an audible parking aid
that warns you of obstacles
behind the vehicle
~ page 85.
The parking system plus assists you when park -
ing by audibly and visually indicating objects de-
tected in front of and behind the vehicle
~ page 86.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the
vehicle in the Infotainment display . The lines in
the rearview camera image help you to park or
maneuver ~ page 87. The parking system plus
functions are also available ~ page 86.
A WARNING
,- -
- Always look for traffic and check the area
around your vehicle by looking at it directly
as well. The parking system cannot replace
the driver's attention. The driver is always
responsible when entering or leaving a park-
ing space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as
clothing, are not detected by the system .
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detect-
ed . Be especially cautious of small children
and animals .
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody . The park-
ing system may become impaired as a re-
sult. Have an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility check their
function.
- Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by
stickers, deposits or other materials. If they
are, the sensor function could be impaired.

Parking systems
(D Note
- Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, vertical poles or fences
- Objects above the sensors such as wall ex-
tensions
- Objects with specific surfaces or struc -
tures such as chain link fences or powder
snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low-lying
object , it may disappear from the sensor
range . Note that you will no longer be
warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to
avoid damage to the rims.
(D Tips
- The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the cover-
age area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or for long grass.
- external ultrasonic sources e.g. from
cleaning vehicles.
- heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle exhaust.
- We rec om mend that you practice parking in
a traffic-free location or parking lot to be-
come familiar with the system. When doing
this, there should be good light and weath-
er conditions.
- You can change the volume of the signals.
- What appears in the display is slightly de-
layed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.
