Exit warning

Brightness

Description

Applies to: vehicles with exit warning system

Change the brightness only when side assist is

turned on, so that the selected setting can be

checked in the exterior mirror displays. Adjust

the brightness to a level where the display in the

information stage will not disrupt your view

ahead. Because the display brightness automati-

cally adapts to the ambient light, it may have al-

ready been adjusted to the highest or lowest set-

ting during the automatic adaptation.

Tips

Fig. 130 Approaching traffic detected

– If the system is turned on, the displays on

the exterior mirrors will turn on briefly each

time the ignition is turned on.

– If you turn side assist on or off, the exit

warning will also turn on or off.

– Certain settings are automatically stored

and assigned to the remote control key be-

ing used.

Messages

Applies to: vehicles with side assist

Fig. 131 Front door: exit warning

General information

If  or  is displayed when there is a malfunc-

tion, the side assist and exit warning system

functions may be unavailable or may be limited.

Within the limitations of the system, the exit

warning system can detect traffic approaching

from behind such as vehicles, and provide assis-

tance based on this information when you are ex-

iting the vehicle ðfig. 130. The system uses the

data from the radar sensors at the rear corners of

the vehicle.

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 sensor area at the

rear corners of the vehicle ðpage 141, fig. 110

and try to turn the systems on again later.

Displays and warnings

If the malfunction remains, drive to an author-

ized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facili-

ty immediately to have the malfunction correct-

ed.

If a door is opened while the vehicle is stationary,

the door handle frame 1 on that door and the

display 2 on that side of the vehicle will blink if

another road user is detected in a critical situa-

tion. If another road user that is classified as crit-

ical is approaching while a door is already open,

the displays on that door will turn on.

The same messages apply for the exit warning

system and side assist ðpage 173.

WARNING

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

– Always pay attention to traffic and to the

area around your vehicle. The exit warning

system does not replace the attention of the

vehicle occupants. The vehicle occupants are

always responsible for opening the doors

and exiting the vehicle.

– The exit warning system does not respond

to people and cannot warn you about every

type of approaching object, such as cyclists.

Always monitor the traffic situation as well

as the vehicle's surroundings with direct eye

contact.

– The display may not appear in time when

vehicles are approaching very quickly.

– The exit warning system does not respond

to stationary objects or pedestrians.

– The exit warning system will not provide

alerts if your vehicle is pulled too far into

the parking space so that it is hidden by ad-

jacent vehicles.

Tips

– The exit warning is turned on or off by the

side assist warning ðpage 172.

– The exit warning system can be available for

up to approximately three minutes after un-

locking the vehicle and opening the door as

well as after turning off the ignition. Then

the displays flash briefly and the system

turns off.

– The system is not available when towing a

trailer. There is no guarantee the system

will turn off when using a retrofitted trailer

hitch. Do not use these functions when tow-

ing a trailer.

– The display brightness for the exit warning

system cannot be adjusted.

Introduction

Depending on the vehicle equipment, various

parking aids will help you when parking and ma-

neuvering.

Tips

Audi recommends practicing parking in a traf-

fic-free location or parking lot to become fa-

miliar with the systems. Practice parking in

good lighting and weather conditions.

Parking aid

The parking aid plus assists you while parking

using audio and visual signals to warn you about

objects detected in front of, behind, and next to*

the vehicle ðpage 175.

Parking aid plus

Activating and deactivating

Applies to: vehicles with parking aid plus

The rearview camera shows the area behind the

vehicle in the center display. The lines in the rear-

view camera image help you to park and maneu-

ver ðpage 177.

The peripheral cameras are an addition to the

rearview camera and help you to see various

areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-

neuvering ðpage 177.

The rear cross-traffic assist can warn you of ap-

proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or

exiting a parking space ðpage 181.

Fig. 132 Center console: parking aid button

Assisted parking

General information

Park assist helps you to locate suitable parking

spaces and to park in them and exit them. Park

assist controls the steering movements when

parking in free parking spaces. The driver is still

responsible for accelerating, braking, and shift-

ing gears. You must always monitor the area

around the vehicle and supervise the process of

parking or exiting a parking space ðpage 185.

The parking aid assists when parking and maneu-

vering by providing warnings about obstacles. If

the ultrasonic sensors on the vehicle ðpage 140,

fig. 107 detect an obstacle, the system will pro-

vide audio and visual warnings.

Activating and deactivating

Requirement: the vehicle speed must be under

approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

Possible settings

Visual warnings

If Automatic activation is turned on ðpage 142

in the Parking aid menu and if the vehicle ap-

proaches an obstacle when driving forward at

speeds below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h),

the parking aid will activate automatically. Audio

signals will sound once the obstacle is within the

sensor detection area.

The visual warnings in the center display help you

to detect the critical vehicle area and to estimate

the distance to an obstacle.

Red segments 1 show detected obstacles that

are in your vehicle's path. The red lines 2 mark

the expected direction of travel based on the

steering angle. A white segment 3 indicates a

detected obstacle that is outside of the vehicle's

path. The closer your vehicle comes to the obsta-

cle, the closer the segments will move to the ve-

hicle. The collision area has been reached when

the next to last segment is displayed. Obstacles

in the collision area, including those outside of

the vehicle's path, are shown in red. Do not con-

tinue driving forward or in reverse.

Automatic deactivation

The distance indicator for the parking aid will de-

activate automatically when driving forward fast-

er than approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

WARNING

Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and

cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

Audio warnings

Note

The closer your vehicle gets to a detected obsta-

cle, the shorter the time between the audio sig-

nals. A continuous tone sounds when an obstacle

is less than approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) away

from the front or rear of the vehicle. A continu-

ous tone sounds when an obstacle is less than

approximately 0.7 feet (0.20 m) away from the

sides* of the vehicle. Do not continue driving for-

Assisted parking

General information

Applies to: vehicles with park assist

WARNING

If your vehicle is equipped with park assist, this

system helps you find suitable parking spaces.

Parking spaces are measured using ultrasonic

sensors on the sides of the vehicle.

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide

alerts about people and cannot warn you

about every type of approaching object,

such as bicycles. Always monitor the traffic

situation as well as the vehicle's surround-

ings with direct eye contact.

The system helps with the process of parking or

exiting a parking space while you monitor the ve-

hicle's surroundings with the parking aids, cam-

eras*, and direct eye contact. The vehicle moves

the steering wheel autonomously.

– The system may not respond at all or it may

not respond at the right time when objects

are approaching very quickly.

WARNING

Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors, and

cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

– The rear cross-traffic assist will not provide

alerts if your vehicle is parallel or diagonally

parked or if your vehicle is pulled too far in-

to the parking space so that it is hidden by

adjacent vehicles.

Tips

– Once an automatic brake activation occurs,

the system cannot initiate another activa-

tion for several seconds.

– System functions may not be available if the

ESC is limited or turned off, or if there is a

malfunction.

– If there is an audio warning signal from the

rear cross-traffic assist, then the parking aid

may not be able to provide audio warnings

about detected obstacles under certain cir-

cumstances.

Applies to: vehicles with park assist

Park assist

General information

Applies to: vehicles with park assist

Requirement: a suitable parking space must be

found and selected ðpage 183. The vehicle must

initially be stationary.

The park assist helps you when parking and exit-

ing parking spaces after the parking space

search. The park assist takes over the steering of

the vehicle while you accelerate, brake, and mon-

itor the vehicle's surroundings. Park assist can be

interrupted at any time.

In the center display, arrows and symbols on the

vehicle roof 2 ðpage 183, fig. 143 indicate

what action is needed, such as applying the

brakes or changing the direction. Park assist au-

tomatically steers the vehicle into the parking

space while the driver presses the pedals.

WARNING

►

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

– The driver is always responsible when enter-

ing or exiting a parking space and during

similar maneuvers.

After stopping the vehicle briefly, make sure

the actual direction the vehicle is traveling

matches the direction indicated by the park as-

sist.

Remove your hands from the steering wheel.

Pay attention to the path of the vehicle. If the

►

traffic situation permits, accelerate carefully

– Do not use this function if the vehicle cannot

move freely, for example when on a vehicle

jack.

ð

. The maximum parking speed is approxi-

mately 4 mph (7 km/h).

►

Follow the visual instructions in the center dis-

play and the warning tones until the parking

process has ended.

– Sensors and cameras have spots in which

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-

uation and the vehicle's surroundings direct-

ly and do not become distracted.

WARNING

– Observe the safety precautions and note the

limitations of the assist systems, sensors,

and cameras ðpage 139 to ðpage 142.

– Park assist is an assist system. The driver is

still responsible for monitoring the vehicle's

surroundings and preventing collisions

when using the system.

Note

– Do not use the park assist systems when

transporting cargo that extends out of the

vehicle, when snow chains are mounted, or

when the parking space is on a hill or in-

cline.

– When using park assist to drive into or out

of a parking space, the steering wheel turns

quickly on its own. Reaching into the steer-

ing wheel spokes while this is happening can

result in injury.

– Park assist guides 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 vehicle in time or

stop the process of parking or exiting the

parking space.

Tips

You can also cancel the driving direction set

by the system by shifting between a forward

gear and reverse gear. Based on the position

of the vehicle, the system then calculates the

additional steering and driving directions for

maneuvering.

Tips

Follow the legal regulations in the country

where you are located when using Park assist.
