Assistance systems
Night vision assistant with highlighting of detected
pedestrians
with integrated thermal imaging camera; when driving
at night, this system extends the driver’s range of
visibility beyond the light provided by the dipped
beam; records thermal images; an image processing
algorithm then evaluates the camera’s data and
highlights any persons it has detected in yellow in the
optional driver information system’s colour display;
the highlighting changes to red and a warning tone is
emitted if the system, by analysing the movement and
position of the person it has detected, considers that
there is a possible risk. In addition, the person is
illuminated with 3 successive brief flashes of the
headlights (marking light). Additional warning symbol
in the head-up display (can be ordered as an option).
Image quality is affected by poor ambient conditions
Hold assist
holds the vehicle stationary for unlimited periods after
stopping, on almost every uphill and downhill
gradient. The system is activated by push-button and
allows the driver to drive away easily and comfortably
without having to operate the electromechanical
parking brake
Camera-based speed limit display
camera-based recognition and display of speed limits,
including temporary speed limit displays (e.g. above
motorways). Additionally, working within system limits,
there is an evaluation of the particular situation in wet
conditions, for speed limits that vary depending on the
time of day, for road works and when using a trailer. If a
sign has not been recognised by the camera, thanks to
Audi connect, the speed limit displayed can be taken
from the navigation data of MMI navigation plus (where
available). Additional display in the head-up display
(can be ordered as an option)
Tilt angle display
shows the roll and pitch of the vehicle regardless of
the acceleration in the MMI display. Uses visual signals
to inform the driver of a tipping risk when the vehicle
tilt exceeds 25 ° or 35 ° in 2 levels and automatically
starts with the hill descent control
Hill descent control
maintains selected speed on downhill drives
The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 130 onwards.
Parking system plus
acoustic and visual parking system for the front
and rear with MMI display; measurement is by
ultrasonic sensors integrated discreetly in the
bumpers; can also be ordered with optional
reversing camera or 360 degree camera
360 degree cameras
reversing camera integrated discreetly in the handle
strip of the luggage compartment lid, display modes
for front side left/right and rear side left/right for
safe pulling out of narrow parking spaces, courtyard
entrances or in the parking garage, additional display
mode for the surroundings as virtual overhead view
of the vehicle (bird’s eye perspective), wide-angled
cameras cover the entire area around the vehicle.
The driver can select between the different image
views in the MMI display, based on the data from the
camera. Reversing image with switchable help lines
for cross- and kerb-side parking, and for attaching
trailers, front camera image, from across and behind,
surrounding image
Park assist with display of surroundings
searches for suitable parking space along the road #
by means of ultrasonic sensors, calculates the ideal
parking path for cross parking spaces and for kerb-side
parking spaces the ideal path for parking and leaving
and performs the steering action almost
automatically. Parking is now even possible in smaller
parking spaces and curve areas, parking in several
moves is supported. Steering is done by the vehicle,
while the driver only needs to accelerate and apply the
brakes. The display of surroundings warns of obstacles
at the side depending on the steering angle and
supports safe and scratch-free parking and leaving a
parking space by providing the correct steering angle;
can optionally be ordered in addition with reversing
camera or 360 degree cameras
Reversing camera
Image of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI
display, with dynamic display modes showing the
calculated path (steer-angle dependent); includes
auxiliary lines and guidelines and identification of the
point at which to apply opposite lock when parallel
parking, reversing camera integrated discreetly in the
luggage compartment lid handle strip
