Audi parking system
Activating
Mute function
An acoustic proximity warning is cancelled when you apply the
parking brake or move the selector lever of the automatic gearbox
to position P. However, the system remains active. The warning
beeps will start again as soon as you release the parking brake or
move the selector lever out of position P if the system has detected
an obstacle.
– Engage reverse gear to automatically activate the
parking system plus, or
– Press the switch ⇒ page 129, fig. 141 in the centre
console to activate the parking system plus manually.
You will hear a short beep to confirm that the parking
system has been activated. The indicator lamp in the
switch will light up.
Reversing/driving forwards
When the vehicle is reversing/driving forwards, the system starts to
beep if it registers an obstacle within its detection range (see
above). The warnings will beep increasingly rapidly as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
Deactivating
– Drive forwards faster than approx. 10 km/h, or
When the vehicle is less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle
the warning tone will sound continuously. From here at the latest,
the driver should then not reverse/drive forwards any further.
– Switch off the ignition to automatically deactivate the
complete parking system, or
– Press the switch ⇒ page 129, fig. 141 to deactivate the
parking system plus manually. The indicator lamp in the
switch will go out.
The volume of the warning beeps will be gradually reduced after
about 4 seconds if the vehicle remains at a constant distance from
a detected obstacle (it will not be reduced if the obstacle is closer
than 0.30 m). The warnings will then return to the normal volume if
the vehicle approaches the detected obstacle again.
Activate the system manually if you are driving forwards and would
like the system to give a warning as you approach potential obsta-
cles, for instance when parking.
Parking
If the parking manoeuvre involves shunting backwards and
forwards, the warning sound will be switched off temporarily while
you change gear. The proximity graphic will, however, still be
displayed on the MMI screen. The warnings will then return to the
normal volume if the vehicle approaches the detected obstacle
again.
The measuring range of the sensors in the front and rear bumpers
starts at approximately:

1.20 m

1.60 m

The segments in the MMI display indicate the distance between the
vehicle and a detected obstacle. The number of segments shown
depends on the obstacle in front of or behind the vehicle. The closer
the vehicle gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move
towards the vehicle in the graphic ⇒ page 129, fig. 142. At the latest
when the penultimate segment is highlighted the vehicle has
Warning beeps
The warning beeps are produced by sound boxes. The volume and
pitch of the beeps can be adjusted in the MMI ⇒ page 139.
