Rear view camer a coverage area
The rearview camera shows you the area be-
hind your vehicle in the navigation system dis-
play. This area roughly corresponds to the
area in¢
fig .
90 and (!) ¢
fig.
91 . Orientation
lines and colored surfaces are projected in the
area shown, which can help you with parking
and maneuvering. Objects that are located in
an area that is not captured by the camera @
¢
fig.
91 and that are closer to the bumper
will not appear on the navigation system dis-
play.
We recommend that you practice park ing with
the rearview camera in a traffic-free location
or parking lot to become familiar w ith the sys-
tem, the orientation lines, and their function.
There should be sufficient light and good
weather conditions when doing so.
In the navigat ion system disp lay, objects or
vehicles appear closer or fu rther away if:
Objects or vehicles appear closer or farther
away in the navigation system if:
- you are driving in reverse gear from a level
surface onto an incline, or a downward
slope,
- you are driving in reverse gear toward pro-
truding objects.
The accuracy of the orientation lines and blue
surfaces dimin ishes if:
- the rearview camera does not provide a reli-
able image, for examp le, in poor visibility
conditions or if the lens is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflect ion .
Caring for the rearview cam era lens
The rearview camera is located in the center
of the vehicle above the rear license plate
bracket. In order for the rearview camera to
f unction properly, the camera lens must be
kept clean and free of snow and ice.

WARNING
- The parking system cannot replace the
driver's attention. The driver alone is re-
sponsib le for parking and similar driving
maneuvers.
- Sensors have blind spots in wh ich objects
cannot be detected. Pay special attent ion
to small children and animals because
the sensors cannot always detect them.
- Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's
sur roundings, using the rearv iew mirro r
as well.
- Do not allow yourself to be distracted
from traffic by the rearview camera pic-
tures in the navigat ion system display.
- If the position and the installation angle
of the camera has changed, for example,
after a rear end collision, do not conti nue
to use the system for safety reasons.
Have it checked by an aut hori zed Audi
dealer or other qualified workshop .

Note
- Low obstacles already signaled by a
wa rni ng can disappear from the system's
detect ion range as they are approached
and wi ll not continue to be signaled. Ob-
jects such as barrier chains, trailer draw
bars, narrow painted vertica l poles or
fences may not be detected by the sys-
tem, posing risk of damage.
- Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow or ice from the rearview camera
lens because the lens could crack.
- Never use products that are abrasive
when clean ing the lens.
