parking or maneuvering, depending on the
vehicle's features.
Parking system (rear)*:
For the parking system (rear), the acoustic
park assist system is installed in the rear of
the vehicle

The rear parking assist system uses ultrason ic
sensors to determine the distance of the vehi-
cle from a detected obstacle . There are a total
of four sensors located on the rear bumper
(two in the middle and two on the sides).
Parking system (rear, with rear view
camera)*:
For the parking system (rear, with rear view
camera), the rear acoustic park assist system
is integrated in the rear of the vehicle and the
rear view camera is integrated in the rear lid

The parking system (rear, with rear view cam-
era) uses ultrasonic sensors to determine the
distance of the vehicle from a detected obsta-

Rear acoustic park assist
Applies to vehicles: with parking system (rear)
The rear acoustic park assist warns you of ob-
stacles or objects behind your car.
Description
The rear acoustic park ing assist system deter-
mines the distance of the vehicle from an ob-
stacle using ultrasonic sensors. There are 4
sensors in the rear bumper.
The range at which the sensors start to meas-
ure is about :
To the side
2 ft (0.60
m)
Center rear
5.2
ft (1.60 m)
Activation
Acoustic parking assist is activated automati-
cally when reverse gear is engaged. A brief
tone confirms that the system is activated.
Warning tones
Distance warn ing is given by warn ing tones
which are generated by the rear signal genera-
tor. The volume and the pitch of the warning
tones can be adjusted in the MMI*
¢ page 117.
Reversing
Distance warn ing when reversing starts when
an obstacle is detected in the range of the
parking assist system . As the distance de-
creases, the time interval between the audible
tones becomes shorter.
When the distance is less than 1ft (0.30 m),
the tone becomes continuous. At this point
you should stop backing up.
Please note that low objects already signalled
by a warning can disappear from the system's
detection range and will not continue to be
signalled .
If
the distance to an obstacle remains the
same, the volume of the distance warning is
gradua lly reduced after about 4 seconds (this
does not apply in the continous tone range).
Approaching another obstacle will result in
the distance warning sounding at the normal
volume again.
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 problem
corrected by your authorized Audi dealer.
Keep the sensors in the rear bumper clean and
free from ice so that the acoustic park assist
system can function properly.
