Issue: rnUnder certain conditions, a software problem could cause a delay before the rearview camera image appears. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display within 2 seconds of shifting the transmission into reverse gear. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA rearview camera that is slow to turn on could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnAudi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the vehicle infotainment unit parameters.
