General information: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Audi S8, 2003 Audi A8, 2002 Audi S8, 2002 Audi A8, and 2001 Audi S8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Acoustic Parking System monitors the vehicle's environment via four ultrasound sensors in the front bumper and four ultrasound sensors in the rear bumper. The acoustic gap notification is given via one chime in the front and one in the rear of the vehicle interior.

There are four ultrasound sensors built into each of the bumpers, front and rear. The sensors can be controlled in either the combined send/receive mode or in receive mode alone.

The rear sensors are switched off if a trailer hitch is attached and the trailer plug is connected. The front sensors remain active.

The gap warning starts during reverse or forward driving (acoustic parking system active) at:

less than approx. 60 cm on all side sensors
less than approx. 120 cm for front-center sensors
less than approx. 150 cm for rear-center sensors
