Audi parking system 151
Controls Safety Driving tips General maintenance Self-help Technical data
• The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle.
• When parking or manoeuvring do not rely solely on the MMI
display. Some objects (e.g. narrow posts or bars) may - due to the
resolution of the display screen - not be displayed in a satisfactory
manner or may not be displayed at all.
Applies to vehicles: with parking system advanced
Note on distances
The red line in the MMI display ⇒ fig. 169 marks the distance which
you should keep to an obstacle when parking. If the obstacle is
located at road surface level you can approach the obstacle until the
red line (40 cm distance) makes contact with the obstacle. However,
if the obstacle is not at road surface level (e.g. the bumper of
another vehicle) you should not approach the obstacle allowing the
red line to make contact with the obstacle.
If you, for example, reverse towards a vehicle, the orientation lines
and area markings in the MMI display appear to be overlapping onto
the vehicle behind ⇒ page 151, fig. 169. In the example shown in
the picture the red line in the MMI display is directly on the bumper
of the vehicle behind. In actual fact, however, the red line
⇒ page 151, fig. 170 is not making contact with the bumper but has
already moved underneath the bumper. The actual distance to the
vehicle behind (broken line ) is already much less than 40 cm. You
must also include the bumper of your own vehicle in the calculation
of the distance ⇒ .
WARNING
• Please note that objects which are not touching the ground
may appear to be further away than they actually are (e.g. the
bumper of a parked vehicle, a towing bracket or the rear end of a
truck). In this case you should not use the orientation lines for
judging the distance (accident risk).
• Please make sure you keep a sufficient distance between the
vehicle and any obstacles to make sure that the exterior mirror or
edge of the vehicle do not collide with the obstacle (accident risk).
• The parking aid cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres. Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle.
• When parking or manoeuvring do not rely solely on the MMI
display. Some objects (e.g. narrow posts or bars) may - due to the
resolution of the display screen - not be displayed in a satisfactory
manner or may not be displayed at all.
