The rear parking aid is an acoustic parking system.
Description
Sensors are located in the rear bumper. When the sensors detect an obstacle, you are alerted by acoustic signals (beeps).
Please ensure that the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and any other substances which could impair the function of the system. Notes on cleaning ►Link.
The measuring range of the sensors starts at about:
| Rear |
Side |
0.90 m |
| Centre |
1.60 m |
The acoustic signals sound with increasing frequency as you approach the obstacle. A warning tone will sound continuously when the Audi A3 is less than approx. 0.30 m away from the obstacle. Stop reversing immediately WARNING!, Caution!!
The volume of the warning beeps will be gradually reduced after about four seconds if the Audi A3 remains at a constant distance from a detected obstacle (it will not be reduced if the obstacle is closer than 0.30 m).
Activating
The parking aid is switched on automatically when reverse gear is engaged. You will hear a brief acknowledgement tone.
