Driver assistance

Possible settings:

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

– If the system is turned on, the displays on

and assigned to the remote control key be-

ing used.

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.

regulations and ISED regulations

ðpage 322.

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.

– The coverage areas of the sensors ðfig. 130

are schematic representations and do not

represent a true-to-scale image of the sen-

sor ranges.

areas around the vehicle while parking and ma-

neuvering ðpage 177.

proaching cross traffic when driving in reverse or

exiting a parking space ðpage 181.

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).
