Graphic display
You can estimate the distance to an obstacle by referring to the segments in front of and behind the Audi A8 (Audi A8s with parking system plus) or the segments surrounding the Audi A8 (Audi A8s with park assist with 360° display) Fig. 2. The red lines indicate the anticipated path of the Audi A8, depending on the steering wheel angle. A white segment indicates an obstacle that has been detected beyond the path of travel. Red segments represent objects detected within the path of travel. The closer the Audi A8 gets to the obstacle the closer the segments move towards the Audi A8 in the graphic. At the latest when the penultimate segment is highlighted the Audi A8 has reached the danger (collision) zone. Obstacles within the danger (collision) zone are shown in red, even if they are beyond the path of travel. Stop moving immediately WARNING!, Caution!!
