Easy parking
The Acoustic Parking System which is fitted as standard on the A8 L, with its eight ultrasonic sensors, provides all-round assistance when parking the A8 L. As soon as the distance to an obstacle at the front, rear or side is down to a preset minimum, you are warned of the fact by a tone signal, as well as a graphical indication on the MMI Screen. The closer you get to an obstacle, the faster the tones sound until you’re less than 25cm away, when the tone becomes continuous. The system is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged, or manually turned on using a button on the dashboard.
The sensors - four at the front and four at the back - are barely visible. They’ve been flush mounted into the bumpers so they don’t interfere with the Audi A8 L’s immaculate lines.
The Parking System Advanced adds to this a small camera in the boot lid, providing a 130° view to the rear, displayed on the Multi Media Interface screen. The image is overlaid with coloured graphics and shows the path the vehicle will take based on the position of the steering wheel. With blind spots minimised, the driver is able to park effortlessly in even the tightest of parking spots.
Parking System Advanced comes standard on SE Executive models.
