- Fig. 1 Instrument cluster: Prompt to keep driving forwards (a parking space has been detected)
Applies to Audi A3s: with park assist
The section below describes how to park parallel to the roadside. The procedure for parking perpendicular to the roadside is similar.
Important: For the best parking result, you should maintain a distance of approx. 1 metre to the row of parked cars.
Activate the turn signal for the side on which you want to park.
To park parallel to the roadside, drive forwards at not more than 30 km/h. Or:
To park perpendicular to the roadside, drive forwards at not more than 20 km/h.
The system will display a parking space when it finds one Fig. 1. Please check that the parking space is suitable for your Audi A3.
If you exceed a speed of about 50 km/h, the park assist will be switched off.
The park assist will display a parking space only if it is long and wide enough for the Audi A3.
If you operate the left turn signal, the display will show the left side of the road (and vice-versa).
Note
- The arrows
or 
in the instrument cluster display indicate the side of the road on which the park assist intends to park the Audi A3. - You can activate the park assist after you have already driven past a parking space (as long as you were driving slowly enough). To do so, press the
button and operate the turn signal. - The best parking results will be achieved if you position the Audi A3 as parallel as possible to the line of parked cars or the kerb before you start the actual parking manoeuvre.
- If there are suitable parking spaces on both sides of the road (for instance on a one-way street), you can change the direction of the turn signals to park on the other side, even if you have already activated the park assist.
