Please note the safety precautions and system

limitations of the supporting systems, sen-

sors and cameras ðpage 171 to ðpage 174.

The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you about

traffic approaching from either side while you are

reversing or leaving a parking space ðpage 227.

Note

The manoeuvre assist helps you to manoeuvre

the vehicle ðpage 241.

To familiarise yourself with the systems, Audi

recommends that you practise parking in a

quiet location or a car park. The weather and

light conditions should be good.

Assisted parking

The following systems help you to find suitable

parking spaces and to manoeuvre the vehicle into

and out of them. The driver must always keep an

eye on the area around the vehicle and monitor

the parking/unparking manoeuvre.

Rear parking aid

Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid

How it works

The park assist helps the driver to manoeuvre

the vehicle into and out of parking spaces. The

rounding the vehicle when driving off.

– A distance warning will NOT be given if the

system detects that a trailer is being towed.

If the towing bracket is not factory-fitted

the functions may not be deactivated auto-

matically.

Acoustic warnings

The acoustic signals sound with increasing fre-

quency as you approach an obstacle which has

been detected in the vehicle’s path. A warning

tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is

less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle.

How it works

– Sensors have certain areas in which they

cannot detect the surroundings. Objects, an-

imals and persons in these areas may be de-

tected only to a limited extent or not at all.

Always monitor the road and the area

around the vehicle; do not rely on the sen-

sors alone, and do not allow yourself to be-

come distracted.

The parking aid plus will help you when parking

and manoeuvring the vehicle by providing warn-

ings about any obstacles detected. If an obstacle

is detected by the ultrasonic sensors on the vehi-

cle ðpage 172, Fig. 116, you are informed of

this by acoustic and visual warnings.

Activating/deactivating

Important: The vehicle must be travelling at un-

der approx. 10 km/h.

CAUTION

Remember to maintain sufficient clearance

from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel

rims.

The parking aid is activated automatically if the

vehicle approaches an obstacle when driving for-

wards at under approximately 10 km/h and Auto-

matic activation is switched on in the Parking

aid menu ðpage 175. The acoustic signals are

not emitted until the obstacle is well within

range of the sensors.

When the sensors detect an obstacle, you will be

alerted by acoustic signals (beeps) and a visual

display.

Visual warnings

The visual warnings on the upper display help you

to see the critical area around the vehicle and to

estimate the distance to an obstacle.

Automatic deactivation

Red segments 1 represent objects detected

within the path of travel. The red lines 2 indi-

cate the anticipated path of travel, depending on

the steering wheel angle. A white segment 3 in-

dicates an obstacle that has been detected out-

side the path of travel. The closer the vehicle gets

to the obstacle, the closer the segments move

towards the vehicle in the graphic. At the latest

when the penultimate segment is highlighted

the vehicle has reached the danger (collision)

zone. Obstacles within the danger (collision)

zone are shown in red, even if they are beyond

the path of travel. Stop moving immediately.

The system is deactivated automatically when

you are travelling forwards at speeds of approxi-

mately 10 km/h and above.

Fig. 159 Upper display: Display for rear cross-traffic assist

How it works

The rear cross-traffic assist uses the radar sen-

sors at the rear corners of the vehicle to monitor

the area behind and to the side of the vehicle.

The system can detect moving objects, such as

cars, as they approach the vehicle ðFig. 158.

When driving out of a parking space, you are as-

sisted by an MMI display 1 and various warn-

ings.

– Corner view (front) is displayed the first

time you activate the system while in a for-

ward gear.

Requirements for the use of the rear cross-

traffic assist:

– The parking aid must be activated ðpage 220.



227

Parking and manoeuvring

– The vehicle must not be reversing faster than

approx. 10 km/h.

– The system may not react in time or may not

react at all if other objects are approaching

very quickly.

Displays, warnings and braking

– The rear cross-traffic assist does not react if

the vehicle is parked parallel to the roadside

or is so far into a parking space that it is hid-

den by the surrounding vehicles.

– Display: The arrows 1 only appear when the

parking aid is activated. On vehicles with sur-

round view cameras, the arrows only appear for

camera views Rear view and Corner view (rear).

The arrows indicate the direction from which

the intersecting traffic is approaching.

Note

– After an automatic brake jolt, no further

brake jolt will occur for the next few sec-

onds.

– Acoustic warnings: A tone may sound continu-

ously as an additional acoustic signal when you

are reversing.

– The system’s functions may not be available

if the ESC is restricted or deactivated or if a

fault has occurred.

– Automatic brake jolt: If the driver does not re-

act to a warning, a short sharp application of

the brakes may also warn against a potential

collision with an approaching object.

– If the rear cross-traffic assist gives an acous-

tic warning signal, the parking aid may no

longer be able to warn you audibly of obsta-

cles it has detected.

The warning tone and the automatic brake jolt

only occur while you are reversing.

– The system is not available if towing mode

is detected. If the towing bracket is not fac-

tory-fitted the functions may not be switch-

ed off automatically. The functions must

not be used when towing a trailer.

– The area covered by the sensors ðFig. 158

is an example and does not represent the

range of the sensors to scale.

Switching the rear cross-traffic assist on/off

You can switch the rear cross-traffic assist on/off

in the Parking aid menu ðpage 175.

Driver messages

If  ,  or  is displayed in the event of a

fault, the rear cross-traffic assist functions are

unavailable or restricted.

Assisted parking

A driver message indicating the cause and possi-

ble remedy may appear for some of the displays.

The weather conditions may not be good enough,

or a sensor may be obstructed. Clean the sensors

on the rear corners of the vehicle and attempt to

switch the system on again later.

How it works

Applies to: vehicles with assisted parking

If your vehicle is equipped with the park assist,

the park assist plus or the remote park assist

plus, these systems will help you to find suitable

parking spaces. To do this, parking spaces are

measured using ultrasonic sensors fitted on the

sides of the vehicle. Depending on the vehicle

equipment, the laser scanner may improve the

and a parking option selected, e.g. a parallel

parking space 1 .

The vehicle must be stationary to begin with.

The ESC must not be restricted or switched off.

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, the parking

lock is engaged, the parking brake is applied and

the engine is switched off. Additionally, the vehi-

cle is locked.

your mobile device to park the vehicle if you

are certain that there are no obstacles in the

path of travel or underneath the vehicle, and

that no obstacles are about to move into the

path of travel.

►

Get out of the vehicle with the engine running;

take the vehicle key with you. Always carry both

the vehicle key and the mobile device on your

person throughout the entire remote-control-

led parking manoeuvre.

►

Make sure that all doors and the boot lid are

closed.

Note

– The parking manoeuvre can only be started

if the vehicle key is outside the vehicle after

the vehicle has been prepared. Always carry

both the vehicle key and the mobile device

on your person throughout the entire re-

mote-controlled parking manoeuvre.

– The remote-controlled parking function may

be restricted or unavailable in situations

such as the following:

Starting the parking manoeuvre

►

function will be cancelled.

►

Watch the road. If the traffic situation permits,

park your vehicle in the parking space using

your mobile device ð

. The vehicle key and

the mobile device must be within a range of

about 6 m from the vehicle.

►

Use the mobile device to stop the parking ma-

noeuvre if the situation is unclear. For example,

you should do so if an obstacle appears or if the

vehicle is getting very close to an obstacle.

To resume the parking manoeuvre, start the

parking manoeuvre again using the mobile de-

vice. The rest of the parking manoeuvre is then

re-calculated based on the vehicle’s position.

– If the ESC is restricted or deactivated or if

a malfunction has occurred.

– If another vehicle key is located in the ve-

hicle or nearby.

– Applies to vehicles with air suspension: If

the suspension is set to the highest level,

such as if Audi drive select is set to off-

road* mode.

Manoeuvre interrupted unexpectedly

– Objects which mark the edges of the park-

ing space (e.g. bollards) may be misinter-

preted by the system. Take control of the

vehicle and perform the parking manoeuvre

manually ðpage 240 if the vehicle is not

fully inside the parking space or if the vehi-

cle attempts to drive beyond the edge of

the parking space.

If the manoeuvre is interrupted unexpectedly

due to the vehicle key, move to a different loca-

tion with the mobile device and vehicle key and

continue the manoeuvre.
