Applies to vehicles: with park assist
The park assist helps the driver to manoeuvre the vehicle into and
out of parking spaces.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking spaces, to manoeuvre
the vehicle into spaces parallel or perpendicular to the roadside
and to drive out of spaces parallel to the kerb. The parking space
can be located between two vehicles or behind one vehicle. The park
assist takes over the steering while the driver is parking the vehicle
in the usual way. The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers.
The parking system plus
Link
or parking system plus with reversing camera
Link is an integral component of the park assist and helps you
during the parking manoeuvre.
We recommend that you practise manoeuvring in and out of parking
spaces with the park assist in a quiet location (car park or low
traffic area) in order to become familiar with the system. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
The park assist has inherent limitations in some situations. It
cannot replace the driver, so it is the driver's responsibility
to exercise full care when parking and manoeuvring.
- The sensors have blind spots in which obstacles are not registered. It is particularly important to ensure that there are no small children or animals near the vehicle when manoeuvring, as the sensors may not always be able to detect them – risk of accident.
- Please note that the system may not always be able to detect the surface of certain objects or people's clothing. Always watch the road and surroundings with this in mind.
- Please note that external noises, heavy rain, smoke, etc. can interfere with the park assist and the parking aid, and that objects or persons cannot be detected by the parking system in unfavourable conditions.
- During the parking manoeuvre and when leaving the space, the front of the vehicle swings out towards the oncoming traffic. Please take all necessary measures to ensure that other road users are not endangered.
- It is the driver's responsibility to decide whether a parking space shown in the display is suitable for the vehicle.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own when parking the vehicle and leaving the space. Injury may result if a person reaches between the spokes on the steering wheel when it is turning.
- In short parking spaces, the warning tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is 20 cm away from the obstacle. Stop moving immediately!
- The sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin rails, fences, posts, waste bins and trees, etc. This could result in damage to your car.
- Please note that the system may not always be able to detect the surface of certain objects or substances, such as wire fences or powder snow, etc. You should therefore check that there is sufficient clearance around the vehicle before parking or leaving a parking space.
- Please note that low obstacles detected by the system may no longer be registered by the sensors as the car moves closer, so the system will not give any further warning. Failure to respond to a parking system warning can result in damage to your vehicle and other objects. Please bear this in mind, for example, when using the park assist to park behind a truck. Always keep a close watch on the area in front of and behind the vehicle while parking, and intervene promptly if necessary.
- Notes on cleaning the sensors Link.
- In certain situations, the park assist will guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb, for instance if other vehicles are parked on the kerb. Please keep a close watch on your vehicle and its surroundings, and always be ready to intervene in order to prevent damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
Note
- The electronic stabilisation program (ESP) must remain switched on throughout the parking manoeuvre Link.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the vehicle on tight bends.
- To ensure that the parking aid/park assist works properly, the sensors must be kept clean and free of snow and ice Link.
- If you achieve different results with the park assist after a tyre change, have the system adjusted by an Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the vehicle if a trailer is attached and the electrical connector for the trailer socket is plugged in.
