Audi A6 Typ 4G: General information
Applies to: vehicles with parking system plus/rearview camera/ peripheral camera
Depending on your vehicle's equipment, various parking aids will help you when parking and maneuvering.
The parking system plus assists you when parking by audibly and visually indicating objects detected in front of and behind the vehicle.
The rearview camera shows the area behind the vehicle in the Infotainment system display. This display assists you when you are cross or parallel parking. The parking system plus functions are also available.
The peripheral cameras assist you with parking and maneuvering. You are aided by various cameras depending on the vehicle equipment level. The parking system plus functions are also available.
WARNING
- Always look for traffic and check the area around your vehicle by looking at it directly as well. The parking system cannot replace the driver's attention. The driver is always responsible when entering or leaving a parking space and during similar maneuvers.
- Please note that some surfaces, such as clothing, are not detected by the system.
- Sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which people and objects cannot be detected.
Be especially cautious of small children and animals.
- The sensors can be displaced by impacts or
damage to the radiator grille, bumper,
wheel housing and the underbody. The parking
system may be impaired as a result.
Have an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility check their function.
- Make sure the sensors are not obstructed by stickers, deposits or other materials. If they are, the sensor function could be impaired.
Note
- Some objects are not detected or displayed
by the system under certain circumstances:
- Objects such as barrier chains, trailer draw bars, vertical poles or fences
- Objects above the sensors such as wall extensions
- Objects with certain surfaces or structures such as chain link fences or powder snow
- If you continue driving closer to a low object, it may disappear from the sensor range. Note that you will no longer be warned about this obstacle.
- Keep enough distance from the curb to reduce the risk of damage to the rims.
Tips
- The system may provide a warning even
though there are no obstacles in the coverage
area in some situations, such as:
- certain road surfaces or when there is tall grass.
- external ultrasonic sources such as from cleaning vehicles.
- in heavy rain, snow, or thick vehicle exhaust.
- We recommend that you practice parking in a traffic-free location or parking lot to become familiar with the system. When doing this, there should be good light and weather conditions.
- You can change the volume and pitch of the signals as well as the display.
- Please refer to the instructions for towing a trailer located.
- What appears in the infotainment display is somewhat time-delayed.
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of snow and ice for park aid to operate.
