drive the vehicle into or out of a parking space

while the driver is outside the vehicle. You must

keep the vehicle key and the mobile device on

– If the time limit has been exceeded

– If an obstacle is detected

around the vehicle. For fault-free parking/

– Remote-controlled parking serves merely as

a driver assist function. As the driver you are

always responsible for driving the vehicle,

manoeuvring and stopping.

WARNING

Please note the safety precautions and system

limitations of the supporting systems, sen-

sors and cameras ðpage 171 to ðpage 174.

– Do not use the function if the vehicle cannot

move freely (e.g. if it is on the jack).

– Risk of accident if insufficient attention is

paid to the area around the vehicle. The sen-

sors and cameras have certain areas in

which they cannot detect the surroundings.

Objects, animals and persons in these areas

may be detected only to a limited extent or

not at all. Always monitor the road and the

area around the vehicle; do not rely on the

sensors alone. Operate the function in the

proximity of the vehicle. Make sure you have

a good view of your vehicle and its

surroundings. Do not let yourself be distrac-

ted.

– Applies to vehicles with anti-theft alarm sys-

tem: Danger of fatal injury to any persons –

especially children – locked inside the vehi-

cle. The vehicle is locked when the remote-

controlled parking function is in use. Before

and after using the remote-controlled park-

ing function, always make sure that no per-

sons are inside the vehicle and observe the

instructions for the safelock ðpage 43.

– Never run the engine in confined spaces and

always check that the engine is switched off

after using the remote-controlled parking

function. The exhaust gases are toxic – risk

of poisoning!

– When parking the vehicle in a space where

there is no kerb, maintain a distance of at

least 50 cm to walls and buildings to avoid

any damage to the vehicle.

Note

– Only use remote-controlled parking when

the country-specific regulations permit it.

The use of the system may be restricted or

prohibited in certain countries. As the driver

you are always responsible for adhering to

the locally applicable laws and regulations.

– Depending on the country, remote-control-

led parking may be deactivated due to a

comparison with a country list. Data are not

transmitted to Audi.

– Risk of accident due to problems occurring

when operating the myAudi app. Do not exit

the app during the parking manoeuvre, and

make sure that the app is not forced into the

background by answering incoming calls or

similar. Please observe the operating in-

structions provided by the manufacturer of

your mobile device.

– The person using the mobile device for re-

mote-controlled parking is considered as

the driver of the vehicle and an active road

user. As the driver you are always responsi-

ble for adhering to the locally applicable

laws and regulations for using remote-con-

trolled parking.

– There is a risk of accident if the connection

is interrupted. In certain cases, the connec-

tion between the mobile device and the ve-

hicle may be interrupted e.g. by other trans-

mitters or if the device is too far from the

vehicle. Make sure that you have an ade-

quate connection and, if in any doubt, per-

form the parking manoeuvre in the usual

way from inside the vehicle.

– Always make sure that you are not putting

any other persons at risk when using re-

mote-controlled parking. We recommend

that you try out the remote-controlled park-

ing function in a quiet location such as a car

park.

– Risk of accident if any notifications, sounds

or vibrations are disabled. The myAudi app

can only warn you of any dangers detected if

you have made sure that your mobile device

allows all notifications, sounds and vibra-

tions from the myAudi app.

– Your mobile phone should be charged suffi-

ciently; if necessary, recharge it before

starting your journey.

– Do not use the remote-controlled parking

function on devices which are damaged or

impaired in any way. Only use operating sys-

tems approved by the manufacturer of the

mobile device.

CAUTION

– While using the remote-controlled parking

function, always keep a close eye on your ve-

hicle to make sure that no persons are able

to enter the vehicle; make sure that the ve-

hicle is locked after the parking manoeuvre

is complete. Take the vehicle key with you

when leaving the vehicle.

– Do not use remote-controlled parking if you

are transporting objects which project be-

yond the vehicle or if snow chains are fitted.

– In certain situations, the remote-controlled

parking will guide the vehicle onto or across

the kerb, for instance if other vehicles are

parked on the kerb. You should always be
