Rear parking
system
Rear acoustic park assist
Applies to: vehicles with parking system (rear)
The rear acoustic pork assist warns you of obsta-
cles or objects behind your car.
Description
The rear acous t ic par king assist system de t er -
mines the d istance of the veh icle from an obsta -
104
cle using ultrasonic sensors . There are 4 sensors
in the rear bumper.
The range at whi ch the sensors st art to measure
is about:
To the s ide
2
ft (0 .60
m)
Cente r rear
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Activation
Acoustic parking assist is act ivated automatically
whe n reverse gear is engaged. A brief tone con-
firms that the system is activated.
Warning tones
Distance warning is give n by warni ng tones wh ich
are generated by the rear signal generator . The
volume and the pitch of the warn ing tones can be
adjus t ed in the MMI* ¢ page 105.
Reversing
Distance warning when reversing starts when an
obstacle is detected in t he range of the parking
ass ist system . As the distance dec reases, the
time interva l between the audib le tones becomes
sho rter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0 .30 m), the
tone becomes cont inuo us. At th is point you
shou ld stop backing up .
Please note that low objects already s ignalled by
a war ning can d isappear from the system's detec -
tion range and will not cont inue to be s ignalled .
If the distance to an obstacle remains the same,
the volume of the d istance warning is gradually
reduced after about 4 seconds (th is does not ap -
ply in the continous to ne range) . Approaching an-
othe r obstacle will result in the distance warn ing
sounding at the normal volume aga in.
Malfunctions in the system
If a warning tone is audible for about five sec-
onds when you turn on the ignition, there is a
malfunction in the system . Have the prob lem
cor rected by you r a uthorized Audi dea le r.
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and
free from ice so that the acoustic park ass ist sys-
tem can function properly .
