Assistance systems<br />

Parking system, rear<br />

makes reverse parking easier within system limits by<br />

indicating acoustically how far away the vehicle is from<br />

an object detected behind the vehicle; measurement<br />

is by ultrasonic sensors integrated discreetly in the<br />

bumper<br />

Parking system plus with selective display<br />

acoustic and visual parking aid for front and rear.<br />

Working within system limits, a white segment indicates<br />

a detected obstacle outside the vehicle. Red segments<br />

represent obstacles in the driving path. This<br />

provides the driver with a selective optical view in the<br />

MMI display of all the objects recognised, depending<br />

on the current bend radius and direction of travel. The<br />

virtual lane display in conjunction with MMI navigation<br />

plus with MMI touch additionally provides guidelines<br />

at the sides which are calculated at in advance depending<br />

on the current angle of turn, thus supporting safe<br />

and scratch-free parking and leaving of parking spaces<br />

by specifying the right steering angle; measurement is<br />

by ultrasonic sensors integrated discreetly in the<br />

bumpers, can optionally be ordered with rearview<br />

camera<br />

Park assist with selective display<br />

as parking system plus with selective display; in addition ultrasonic sensors are used to search for parking spaces<br />

by the roadside, calculate the ideal parking path for cross parking spaces and the ideal path for parking and leaving<br />

kerb-side parking spaces; the steering action is performed entirely by the system. Assisted parking is now even<br />

possible in smaller parking spaces and bend areas; parking in several moves is supported. Steering is done by the<br />

vehicle, while the driver only needs to accelerate and apply the brakes. The display of surroundings has 4 additional<br />

sensors which, depending on the steering angle, indicate obstacles detected all around and at the side of the<br />

vehicle and warn the driver, thus supporting safe and scratch-free parking and leaving of parking spaces by<br />

showing the lane; can optionally be ordered with rearview camera<br />

Rearview camera<br />

Camera image of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI display, with dynamic display modes showing the<br />

calculated path (steer-angle dependent); includes auxiliary lines and guidelines in the camera image and for<br />

identification of the point at which to apply opposite lock when parallel parking; rearview camera integrated<br />

discreetly in the handle strip of the luggage compartment lid<br />

Suspensions/brakes<br />

Dynamic suspension<br />

McPherson spring strut type axle at the front with<br />

aluminium lower wishbones, aluminium subframe and<br />

tubular stabiliser. 4-link rear axle with separate<br />

spring/damper arrangement, subframe and tubular<br />

stabiliser; the 1.6 TDI (77 kW) entry-level engine has a<br />

lightweight compound link rear suspension.<br />

Sport suspension<br />

body lowered by approx. 15 mm, with stiffer set<br />

suspension and damping for more direct contact with<br />

the road and sporty handling<br />

S sport suspension<br />

more dynamic spring/damper setting and vehicle<br />

lowered by 25 mm<br />

S line sport suspension<br />

more dynamic spring/damper setting and vehicle<br />

lowered by 10 mm compared with the sport suspension<br />

or by 25 mm compared with the dynamic suspension
