Applies to Audi A8s: with surround view cameras
This view can be used when parking your Audi A8 at the roadside.
The section below describes how to park on the right side of the road. The procedure for parking on the left is similar.
If an obstacle (such as a wall) is located next to the parking space, please follow the instructions for parking next to obstacles Link.
Operate the turn signal.
Position your car beside a parked Audi A8 in front of the space where you want to park. The distance from the Audi A8 should be about 1 metre.
Switch on the infotainment system and select reverse gear. The parking aid will be switched on and the perpendicular parking view will be displayed.
Press control button -1- Fig. 3 on the infotainment system. The parallel parking display will appear.
Reverse and align your Audi A8 in such a way that the blue area marking -2- borders onto the Audi A8 behind or onto the parking space line marking WARNING!, Caution!. The blue marking is an extension of the Audi A8 outline and reaches about five metres to the rear of the Audi A8. The long side of the blue marking should border onto the kerb. The complete blue area marking must fit into the parking space.
When the Audi A8 is stationary turn the steering wheel to the right as far as it will go.
Reverse into the parking space until the blue curve Fig. 2 touches the kerb WARNING!, Caution!. Stop the Audi A8.
When the Audi A8 is stationary turn the steering wheel to the left as far as it will go.
Parking next to obstacles
If an obstacle (such as a wall) is located next to the parking space, the clearance at the side of the Audi A8 must be larger. Position the long side of the blue marking so that there is sufficient clearance from the obstacle. The marking must NOT touch the obstacle. You must also start turning the steering wheel much earlier. The blue curve Fig. 4 must not touch the obstacle - make sure there is sufficient clearance.
Note
The orientation lines and markings appear on the left or right side, depending on which turn signals are on.
