WARNING

Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and

cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 127 to ðpage 130.

– Remote controlled parking is only an assist

system. The driver is always responsible for

maneuvering, driving, and stopping the ve-

hicle and performing other driving maneu-

vers.

Messages

Applies to: vehicles with park assist plus



If the

,

or  indicator light turns on, the

park assist is not available or was interrupted.

– Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot

move freely, for example when on a vehicle

jack.

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 the system on

again later.

– Failing to pay careful attention to the vehi-

cle's surroundings increases the risk of an

accident. Sensors and cameras have spots in

which the surrounding area cannot be de-

tected. Objects, animals, and people may

only be detected with limitations or may not

be detected at all. Always monitor the traf-

fic situation as well as the vehicle's sur-

roundings with direct eye contact. Stay near

the vehicle while controlling it. Make sure

you have a clear view of the vehicle and the

area surrounding it. Do not become distract-

ed.

If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-

ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-

ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-

ed.

General information

– Applies to: vehicles with anti-theft alarm

system: There is a risk of death for people

locked in the vehicle, especially children.

The vehicle is locked during remote control-

led parking. Make sure there are no persons

inside the vehicle both before and after us-

ing remote controlled parking.

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

the app during the parking process, and

make sure that it does not go into the device

background, for example by accepting an in-

coming call. Follow the user guide from the

manufacturer of your mobile device.

– 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

or exiting the parking space.
