Tips
If appears, the sensor in the respective area
or the speaker is faulty. Drive immediately to an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service
Facility to have the malfunction corrected.
– The segments in the side area* ðpage 128,
fig. 89 are detected and analyzed when
passing. There may have been changes to
the surrounding area after turning off the
ignition and on again, after opening the
doors, or if the vehicle is left stationary for a
period of time. In this case, the area will ap-
pear black until the area has been detected
and evaluated.
If is displayed in the MMI, the ultrasonic sen-
sor indicated is icy or dirty. Clean the area in front
of the sensors ðpage 130.
If
or
is displayed when there is a malfunc-
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
sensors ðpage 130 and try to turn on the sys-
tems again later.
If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-
ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-
ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-
ed.
– There is no distance warning for the rear

be deactivated when using a retrofitted
trailer hitch.

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,
and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.

the surrounding area cannot be detected.
Objects, animals, and people may only be
detected with limitations or may not be de-
tected at all. Always monitor the traffic sit-
