WARNING
The rear -view camera has blind spots , in whi ch objects cannot
be detected. Be especially careful to check for small children and
an imals before ba cking up . Small children and animals will not
always be detected by the sensors.
The Audi parking system is not a substitute
for being careful
and alert when backing up. Be especially careful during parking
and similar maneu vers. Always watch where you are driving and
make sure that nothing is in the way .
Remember that low obsta cles which have already been
signaled may pass below the system's sensing zone when the
vehicle is backing up. The fact that the signal stops does not mean
that you have cleared the obstacle . When the signal stops, impact
is imminent . Objects such as trailer hit ches, chains, narrow posts
or fences covered by a thin layer of paint may not always be
detected by the system. They can still damage your vehicle
without warning .
Always make sure that the volume and frequency of the chimes
is adjusted so that you can easily hear the acoustic distance signal
even if the radio is playing, the air-conditioner blower is on High or
there is a high level of outside noise.
- Check the settings whenever someone else has driven the
vehicle before you.
Improper reliance on the Audi parking system can cause colli-
sions and serious personal injury.
- Never rely only on parking assist when changing backing up.
- Always check rear view mirrors to make sure it is safe to back
up.
