A3 Cabriolet Driver Aids

Intuitive parking system
Acoustic rear parking system

When you reverse, the optional Audi Acoustic Parking System is activated. It sounds a clear tone if there are obstacles behind the car. The nearer you get, the more frequent the tones. The sound becomes continuous at just 30cm from the obstacle.

Front and rear parking assist

As above, but sensors are installed in the front bumper as well. The sensors are covered sympathetically so they don't have any effect on the design appeal of the car - they're virtually invisible.

Park perfectly everytime
Astonishing level of parking assistance

Why should only large cars have parking assistance systems available as an option when it's just as difficult to get a compact car into a tight space? Introducing Audi Parallel Park Assist.

Available in conjunction with the Audi Driver's Information System, the Parallel Park Assist system is a phenomenal piece of mechanical and electronic design engineering.

As you drive along the road, the system uses ultrasonic sensors to scan the side of the road for spaces large enough to accommodate the A3 Cabriolet and alerts you when it finds one. You then pull up alongside the space and select reverse the steering wheel is controlled automatically to establish the correct parking line while you simply control the speed until the car is parked. Everything else is done for you. The system also features Audi Hill Hold Assist so parallel parking on hills presents no problems either.

It's a luxury option that you won't want to be without.

Cruise Control

Providing your Audi A3 Cabriolet has the Driver's Information System, it's possible to opt for cruise control. At speeds of over 25mph, just a simple, swift operation of the cruise control stalk will hold your speed until you brake or cancel. Cruise control brings significantly more comfort and relaxation to long motorway and dual carriageway driving; one of those things that it becomes difficult to live without.

Adaptive lights
Adaptive lights show you the way

Optional adaptive lights include Xenon Plus bulbs that swivel in the headlamp cluster. They provide significantly better visibility than ordinary halogen bulbs. When turning, they follow the steering direction and cast a wider angle of illumination so you can see round the bend more clearly at night.

Included with the adaptive lights option are LED daytime running lights - a series of bright LEDs under each headlamp assembly that not only increase visibility of your car but also make an unmistakable style statement.
