If the sensors detect an obstacle, audio and visu-  
al signals will warn you.  
The system activates automatically when re-  
verse gear is engaged while the engine is run-  
ning, or  
Visual warnings  
The visual warnings in the upper display help you  
to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate  
the distance to an obstacle.  
If Automatic activation is turned on ðpage 131  
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.  
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  
If you drive forward faster than 6 mph (10 km/h),  
the system will deactivate automatically.  
WARNING  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and  
cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.  
Audio warnings  
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-

tion, the parking aid functions may be unavaila-  
ble or may be limited.  
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

Assisted parking  
General information  
Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking  
WARNING  
If your vehicle is equipped with park assist plus or  
remote park assist plus, these systems will help  
you to find suitable parking spaces. Parking  
spaces are measured using ultrasonic sensors on  
the sides of the vehicle. Depending on vehicle  
equipment, the laser scanner may also improve  
the measurement.  
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.  
If a parking space is found, the systems will help  
you to park while the driver monitors the vehi-  
cle's surroundings with the parking aids, cam-  
eras*, and direct eye contact.  
The system may not respond at all or it may  
not respond at the right time when objects  
are approaching very quickly.  
Rear cross-traffic assist will not provide  
alerts if your vehicle is parallel parked or  
pulled too far into the parking space so that  
it is hidden by adjacent vehicles.  
WARNING  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and  
cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.  
Tips  
Once an automatic brake activation occurs,  
the system cannot initiate another activa-  
tion for several seconds.  
System functions may not be available if the  
ESC is limited or turned off, or if there is a  
malfunction.  
If there is an audio warning signal from the  
rear cross-traffic assist, then the parking aid  
may not be able to provide audio warnings  
about detected obstacles under certain cir-  
cumstances.

hicle should be approximately 3 feet (1 m) from  
the row of parking spaces.  
Observe the safety precautions and note the  
limitations of the assist systems, sensors,  
and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.  
The driver is always responsible when enter-  
ing or exiting a parking space and during  
similar maneuvers.  
The parking space search is first done on the  
side of your lane. To switch the side for the  
parking space search, activate the turn signal  
for that side. Depending on vehicle equipment,  
you may also be able to press on the side next  
to your vehicle in the upper display.

uation and the vehicle's surroundings direct-  
ly and do not become distracted.  
Selecting the parking space  
If the system finds a parking space that could be  
suitable for the vehicle length and width, it will  
be displayed. The system automatically suggests  
a parking option 1 .  
Note  
If the parking space allows different parking op-  
tions, they can be selected manually. Press one of  
the suggested parking options 1 .  
Parking spaces classified as suitable by the  
system may have been detected incorrectly.  
The driver must decide if the parking space  
displayed is suitable for the vehicle.

visual instructions in the upper display 2 . Once  
the vehicle has reached the correct position, a P  
will appear above the selected parking space 3 .  
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.  
The parking assist systems may not be used  
while towing a trailer or when using rear  
carrier systems.  
Keep the vehicle as parallel as possible to the  
parked vehicles or to the side of the road.  
Make sure that the parking space is suitable for  
your vehicle ð

Applies to: vehicles with remote park assist plus  
Remote controlled parking is part of park assist  
plus. The process for parking or exiting a parking  
space can be controlled with a mobile device  
from outside the vehicle. To do so, you must have  
both the vehicle key and the mobile device with  
you. While you control the vehicle remotely and  
monitor the vehicle's surroundings, the system  
controls the steering, gear selection, accelera-  
tion, braking, and locking of the vehicle. For the  
process of parking or exiting the parking space to  
function correctly, there must not be any occu-  
pants inside the vehicle.  
There is a risk of asphyxiation. Never allow  
the engine to run in confined spaces. After  
remote controlled parking, make sure the  
engine is off.  
Malfunctions when using the myAudi app in-  
crease the risk of an accident. Do not exit

Any individual that uses the mobile device  
for remote controlled parking is considered  
the driver and is participating in traffic. The  
driver is always responsible for adhering to  
the regulations for using remote controlled  
parking that are applicable in the country  
where the vehicle is being operated.  
There is a risk of accident if the connection  
is interrupted. In certain situations, the con-  
nection between the mobile device and the  
vehicle can be interrupted, for example from  
other radio devices or when the distance to  
the vehicle is too far. Make sure the connec-  
tion is sufficient, and when in doubt, resume  
parking the vehicle or exiting the parking  
space yourself.  
Do not endanger any other road users when  
using remote controlled parking. Testing re-  
mote controlled parking in a parking lot  
with minimal traffic is recommended.  
Your mobile device should have a sufficient  
battery charge level. If necessary, charge  
the mobile device before starting to drive.  
Do not use the remote controlled parking  
function with devices that are faulty or dam-  
aged or whose function is impaired. Only  
use the operating systems approved by the  
mobile device manufacturer.  
Blocking notifications, tones, and vibrations  
increase the risk of an accident. The myAudi  
app can only warn you if dangers are detect-  
ed if you make sure that your mobile device  
allows all notifications, tones, and vibra-  
tions for the myAudi app.  
Note  
Do not use remote controlled parking when  
transporting cargo that projects outside of  
the vehicle or when snow chains are mount-  
ed.  
When using remote controlled parking, al-  
ways pay attention to the areas where your  
vehicle can be accessed. Make sure that no  
one can enter your vehicle and that the vehi-  
cle has been locked after the parking proc-  
ess is completed. Take the vehicle key with  
you when leaving the vehicle.  
Remote controlled parking may guide the  
vehicle either away from curbs or onto them  
if other vehicles are parked on the curb.  
Make sure that your vehicle's tires and rims  
are not damaged. Resume control of the ve-  
hicle in time or stop the process of parking
