Introduction

Depending on the vehicle equipment, various

parking aids will help you when parking and ma-

neuvering.

Tips

Audi recommends practicing parking in a traf-

fic-free location or parking lot to become fa-

miliar with the systems. Practice parking in

good lighting and weather conditions.

Parking aid

The parking aid plus assists you while parking

using audio and visual signals to warn you about

objects detected in front of, behind, and next to*

the vehicle ðpage 163.

Parking aid plus

Activating and deactivating

Applies to: vehicles with parking aid plus

The rearview camera shows the area behind the

vehicle in the center display. The lines in the rear-

view camera image help you to park and maneu-

ver ðpage 165.

The peripheral cameras are an addition to the

rearview camera and help you to see various

areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-

neuvering ðpage 165.

The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-

proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or

exiting a parking space ðpage 169.

Assisted parking

General information

Park assist helps you to locate suitable parking

spaces and to park in them and exit them. Park

assist controls the steering movements when

parking in free parking spaces. The driver is still

responsible for accelerating, braking, and shift-

ing gears. You must always monitor the area

around the vehicle and supervise the process of

parking or exiting a parking space ðpage 172.

The parking aid assists when parking and maneu-

vering by providing warnings about obstacles. If

the ultrasonic sensors on the vehicle ðpage 128,

fig. 101 detect an obstacle, the system will pro-

vide audio and visual warnings.

Activating and deactivating

Requirement: the vehicle speed must be under

approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Possible settings

►

You can adjust parking aid functions in the Park-

ing aid menu according to your preferences

Visual warnings

If Automatic activation is turned on ðpage 130

in the Parking aid menu and if the vehicle ap-

proaches an obstacle when driving forward at

speeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h),

the parking aid will activate automatically. Audio

signals will sound once the obstacle is within the

sensor detection area.

The visual warnings in the center display help you

to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate

the distance to an obstacle.

Red segments 1 show detected obstacles that

are in your vehicle's path. The red lines 2 mark

the expected direction of travel based on the

steering angle. A white segment 3 indicates a

detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's

path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-

cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-

hicle. The collision area has been reached when

the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles

in the collision area, including those outside of

the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-

tinue driving forward or in reverse.

Automatic deactivation

The distance indicator for the parking aid will de-

activate automatically when driving forward fast-

er than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING

Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and

cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.

Audio warnings

Note

The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-

cle, the shorter the time between the audio sig-

nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle

is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away

from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-

ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than

approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the

sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for-

damage to the rims.

Tips

– If the parking aid is deactivated, it can only

be reactivated automatically when one of

the following conditions is met:

– The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph

(10 km/h)

►

To deactivate audio signals when parking or ex-

iting a parking space, press  in the center dis-

play. Depending on the country, the audio

warnings will be reactivated after changing the

selector position or when activating the parking

aid again.

– The ignition is turned off and on again

– The parking brake is set and then released

– The “P” position is engaged and released

again

Adjusting the volume

You can adjust the volume to your preferences in

the Parking aid menu ðpage 130. The settings

depend on the vehicle equipment.

Possible settings:

Front volume - Volume for the front and side*

area.

Rear volume – Volume for the rear area.

Tips

– The segments in the side area* are detected

and analyzed when passing. If you turn the

ignition off and on again or open the door,

or if the vehicle is stationary for a period of

time, the surrounding area may have

changed in the meantime. In this case, the

area will appear black until the area has

been detected and evaluated.

– If the distance to an obstacle remains con-

stant, the volume of the distance warning

gradually lowers after a few seconds until it

is muted (this does not apply to the continu-

ous tone). If the obstacle comes closer than

it was before the sound was muted, the

tone will sound again. If the obstacle be-

comes farther away than it was before the

sound was muted, no tone will sound. Pay

attention to the vehicle's surroundings

when you start to drive.

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 obstructed. Clean the area in front of the

sensors ðpage 129 and try to turn on the sys-

Fig. 133 Center display: rear cross-traffic assist display

General information

Rear cross-traffic assist monitors the area behind

and next to the vehicle using radar sensors at the

rear corners of the vehicle. The system can detect

moving objects that are approaching, such as

vehicles ðfig. 132. A display in the MMI 1 and

various warnings provide assistance when exiting

a parking space.

If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-

ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-

ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-

ed.

WARNING

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.

– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide

alerts about people and cannot warn you

about every type of approaching object,

such as bicycles. Always monitor the traffic

situation as well as the vehicle's surround-

ings with direct eye contact.

Requirements for using the rear cross-traffic

assist:

– The parking aid is active ðpage 163 or reverse

gear is selected.

– The speed when driving in reverse must not be

higher than approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).

Displays, warnings, and braking

– The system may not respond at all or it may

not respond at the right time when objects

are approaching very quickly.

– Display: the display 1 appears only when the

parking aid is active. In vehicles with peripheral

cameras, the display only appears in the Rear

and Rear corner camera views. Arrows show the

direction from which the cross traffic is ap-

proaching.

– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide

alerts if your vehicle is parallel or diagonally

parked or if your vehicle is pulled too far in-

to the parking space so that it is hidden by

adjacent vehicles.

The driver must decide if the parking space

displayed is suitable for the vehicle.

– Certain objects (such as trees and posts) or

types of ground (such as gravel, snow, and

ice) in the area of the parking space may re-

sult in the vehicle not being positioned as it

normally would be at the end of the parking

process. This increases the risk of collisions.

– Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot

move freely, for example when on a vehicle

jack.

– If you did not drive past a suitable parking

space too quickly, the system can also be ac-

tivated afterwards by pressing  in the cen-
