General information

Applies to: vehicles with peripheral cameras

Fig. 126 Location of peripheral cameras

The peripheral cameras are located in the radiator grille, in the luggage compartment lid and on both exterior mirrors fig. 126.

Make sure that the lenses are not covered by deposits or any other obstructions as it may impair the system. For information on cleaning.

In the Surrounding mode, black corners are shown in the vehicle silhouette. Objects in these areas are outside of the camera's field of view and are not detected.

The accuracy of the orientation lines and the blue surfaces is reduced if the adaptive air suspension is faulty, if the vehicle is lifted or if the Dynamic mode is activated.

WARNING

• Always read and follow the applicable warnings in General information.
• If the position or the installation angle of a camera was changed, for example after a collision, do not continue to use the system for safety reasons. Have it checked by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
• Keep in mind that the image in the display is distorted if the exterior mirror housing has been moved out of place.
• Use the Rear mode and the Corner view (rear) mode only when the luggage compartment lid is fully closed. Otherwise the image in the display will be incorrect.
• The vehicle surroundings are shown using the camera images. The vehicle image is shown by the system. Objects and obstacles above the camera are not displayed.
• Camera lenses enlarge and distort the field of vision. The objects appear both altered and inaccurate on the screen.

Note

• Always read and follow the applicable warnings in General information.
• The Infotainment display shows the direction in which the rear of the vehicle is traveling based on the steering wheel angle. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle. Maintain plenty of distance so that an exterior mirror or a corner of the vehicle does not collide with any obstacles.

Tips

If the symbol appears in the display and the respective display area is grayed out, then the power exterior mirrors were folded in or the driver's door/front passenger's door/luggage compartment lid was opened.
