Options for driving into

or out of a parking space

Introduction

The parking space search function helps you find

suitable parking spaces. To do this, parking

spaces are measured using ultrasonic sensors fit-

ted on the sides of the vehicle.

Once a parking space has been found, the assis-

ted parking systems provide assistance with

parking while the driver monitors the area

around the vehicle with the help of the parking

aids and cameras (depending on the vehicle’s

equipment).

WARNING

Please note the safety precautions and system

limits of the supporting systems, sensors and

cameras ðpage 130 to ðpage 132.

Activating the parking space search

Fig. 114 Overview of parking options

The following parking options may be available

to you depending on the equipment fitted in your

vehicle and when the system is activated:

– After activating the parking space search func-

tion 1 – 3 ðpage 185.

– Completing a parking manoeuvre with the as-

sisted parking system 1 – 2 ðpage 187.

search appears and the  symbol indicates

that a parking space search is active.

Drive slowly forwards past the line of parked

cars. For the best parking result, you should

maintain a distance of approx. 1 metre to the

row of parked cars.

Select a different suggested parking space or a

different parking option 3 on the centre dis-

play.

Switch between driving forwards and reversing

into a parking space 4 if necessary.

►

Starting the parking manoeuvre

The parking space search looks for a suitable

parking space on both sides of the road simulta-

neously.

Important: The parking space must be indicated

with a P on the centre display, the vehicle must

be stationary and the brake pedal must be press-

ed.

The system also searches for suitable parking

spaces in the background even when the parking

space search function is not activated if you do

not drive past the spaces too fast. This means

that you can also activate the system if you have

already driven past a suitable parking space.

your vehicle ð

If you have switched on the automatic display of

the parking space search in the Parking aid menu

driven past a detected parking space.

Brake to a standstill.

– The sensors and cameras have certain areas

in which they cannot detect the surround-

ings. Objects, animals and persons in these

areas may be detected only to a limited ex-

tent or not at all. Always monitor the road

and the area around the vehicle; do not rely

on the sensors alone, and do not allow your-

self to become distracted.

Press the  button in the centre console or se-

lect reverse gear. The detected parking space

will appear on the centre display and you can

start the parking manoeuvre.

Selecting a parking space and a parking

option

When the system finds one or more parking

spaces which might be long/wide enough for

your vehicle, the system displays these spaces

2 .

CAUTION

Even parking spaces which the system has

identified as being suitable may not have

been detected correctly. It is the driver's re-

sponsibility to decide whether a parking space

shown in the display is suitable for the vehi-

cle.

The following symbols may also be shown:

►

P: The vehicle is in the ideal starting position

and you must brake to a standstill.

P : The vehicle must be driven further in the

direction indicated by the arrow to reach the

ideal starting position. Only drive further if

there are no obstacles in the vehicle’s path.

►

If the vehicle is stationary and there are further

parking options in addition to the selected park-

ing space 2 , you can change the selection man-

ually:

assisted parking system

Introduction

The assisted parking systems park the vehicle af-

ter a parking space has been found, and can drive

it out of a parallel parking space afterwards. The

systems take over the steering, acceleration,

braking and gear changes while the driver moni-

tors the area around the vehicle.

Only use the assisted parking systems when the

country-specific regulations permit it. Use may

be restricted or prohibited in certain countries.

As the driver you are always responsible for ad-

hering to the locally applicable laws and regula-

tions. Depending on the country, the systems

may be deactivated due to a comparison with a

country list. Data are not transmitted to Audi.

Fig. 116 Centre display: Display showing a parking space

into which you have started driving

Important: The parking space must have been

measured by the vehicle. This requires you to

have driven far enough past the parking space.

If you have started reversing into a parking space

and the vehicle is far enough in the parking

space, the system can help complete the parking

manoeuvre:

System limitations

– The electronic stabilisation control (ESC) must

not be switched off during the parking manoeu-

vre. If the ESC intervenes, the parking manoeu-

vre is interrupted.

Brake the vehicle to a standstill, if you have not

already done so.

Manoeuvring area

The vehicle may swing out during the parking

manoeuvre ð . A driver message may appear if

there are obstacles within the manoeuvring area

– The assisted parking systems must not be

used when the vehicle is towing a trailer or a

rear carrier system is fitted.

– The driver is always responsible for safety

during parking and all other manoeuvres.

– Do not use the function if the vehicle cannot

ing manoeuvre. The driver maintains full re-

sponsibility for monitoring the area around

– To avoid damage, do not use the assisted

parking systems if you are transporting ob-

jects which project beyond the vehicle or if

snow chains are fitted.

►

You can reduce the speed specified by the sys-

tem at any time by pressing the brake pedal

lightly.

In unclear situations, abort the parking ma-

noeuvre by braking the vehicle firmly to a

standstill or moving the steering wheel. For ex-

ample, you should do so if an obstacle appears

or if the vehicle is getting very close to an ob-

stacle.

– In certain situations, the assisted parking

systems will guide the vehicle onto or across

the kerb, for instance if other vehicles are

parked on the kerb. You should always be

ready to take over the steering wheel in or-

der to prevent damage to the tyres and/or

wheel rims; alternatively, you can abort the

manoeuvre.

Stopping the assisted parking ðpage 190.

– Certain conditions in and around the park-

ing space (e.g. objects such as trees, posts

or road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow

or ice) can cause unexpected results when

parking.

– The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own

when parking the vehicle and leaving the

space with the help of assisted parking sys-

tems. If you reach between the spokes on

the steering wheel when it is turning, there

is a risk of injuring your fingers or hands.

End of parking manoeuvre

The parking manoeuvre ends automatically as

soon as the vehicle reaches its final position in

the parking space. When a parking manoeuvre

has been completed successfully using the assis-

ted parking system, the parking lock will be en-

gaged and the parking brake will be applied.

Further information

If the vehicle is parked parallel to the roadside,

you can use the assisted parking systems to drive

out of the parking space.

– Objects which mark the edges of the parking

space (e.g. bollards) may be misinterpreted by

the system. Take control of the vehicle and per-

form the parking manoeuvre manually
