Navigation (NAV) 108Navigation (NAV)General safety precautionsThe driver is completely responsible for traffic safety
even when driving with the Navigation System active.Fig. 111 Display: WarningWhen you set your vehicle in motion and you press the
button, a warning message is shown in the display.
Lesen Sie die Warnmeldung aufmerksam und beachten Sie
die wichtigen Hinweise.
– Select Accept by pressing the control knob when you
have finished reading the warning message.
Be sure that you always have complete control of your vehicle in all
traffic situations when using navigation.
WARNING


Always obey traffic laws, signs and signals, they take prece-
dence over navigation system recommendations.


Always concentrate on driving and pay attention to the road,
listen to the voice prompts and never let yourself be distracted by
the map display on the screen
page 9.


Always remember that data on the Navigation DVD can differ
from the actual situation because of insufficient data or because
the road or traffic routing has changed since the area was
mapped. Do a “reality check” and ignore the navigation system
recommendation if necessary.


Always remember that even if one-way streets, pedestrian
zones, etc. are stored on the Navigation DVD, traffic routing is
subject to constant change. Traffic signals, turning lanes or prohi-
bitions, stop and yield signs, no parking and similar zones as well
as narrow lanes are not covered by the navigation system.


Always adjust your speed to road, traffic and weather condi-
tions and visibility. Never let information about the road ahead
cause you to drive too fast for conditions, for example in fog.


The volume setting should be selected to ensure that outside
signals, such as police and fire truck sirens, are always audible -
danger of accident!

Tips


The Navigation System is designed to provide you with
suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other
points of interest.


Changes in street names, construction zones, traffic flow, points
of interest or other road system changes are beyond the control of
Audi of America, Inc.


Complete, detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads,
highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter
discrepancies between the mapping and your actual location.
IntroductionGeneralFig. 112 Display: Example of navigation mapThe Audi Navigation System can help you to reach your destination
without spending a lot of time studying maps.
During the trip you will receive information on vehicle location,
in structions for turning (directio n and dis tance to turn-off), p resen t
distance to destination and estimated time of arrival at destination
in the Navigation System display
fig.112 and in the instrument
cluster display
page 111, fig.114. In addition you will receive
navigation prompts in the form of a spoken announcement
page 112.
There are two possibilities for guide destination:

Route without stopover (Single destination mode)

Navigation (NAV) 110

Route with stopover (Route plan)
Route without stopover (Single destination mode)
In single destination mode you can drive directly to a destination
page 119.
If you enter a direct destination and start guidance, you are given
the option of up to three different routes
page 130.
Route with stopover (Route plan)
In this mode, you can choose up to three stopovers and one final
destination
page 139.
For example, while on your way to your final destination, you could
have three stopovers, such as: the nearest gasoline station, then a
restaurant and after that a point of interest to visit
page 121.
WARNING
Follow the traffic laws for the area in which you are driving. If
driving instructions run contrary to traffic laws, the traffic laws
always take precedent.
Tips
However, the system will not provide you with any information
about the meaning of traffic signs and signals!
How does the Navigation System work?
The Navigation System works with the help of satel-
lites (GPS).To determine current vehicle position, distance sensors, gyroscopes
and satellite signals are analyzed. The signals are transmitted by
GPS satellites. The acronym GPS stands for “Global Positioning
System”.
The recorded information is transferred to the navigation system
a n d t h e n c o m p a re d w i t h t h e m a p m a t e r i a l s to re d o n t h e N a v i g a t io n
DVD. In this way, guidance to your destination can be calculated
precisely.
To c a l c u l a t e g u i d a n c e t o y o u r d e s t i n a t i o n , t h e n a v i g a t i o n D V D h a s t o
be inserted into the navigation drive. The drive for the Navigation
System is located behind the system display
page 35.
When the navigation DVD is inserted, the system starts automati-
cally and navigation destinations can be entered page 117.
Five differe nt languages (German, E nglish, French, Spanish, Italian)
are availabe on the navigation DVD for the audible navigation
prompts. You can change the language for the audible navigation
voice messages using the Menu language function in Setup
page 170.Tips


Snow and other objects on the GPS antenna or screening by
trees and large buildings can interfere with satellite reception and
m a ke i t m o re d i ffe re n t to d e t e rm i n e v e h i c l e l o c a t i o n . I f s e v e ra l s a t e l -
lites are turned off or disabled, this may result in interference with
GPS reception and make it more difficult to determine vehicle loca-
tion.

Your map data DVD includes the continental United States
(excluding Alaska), Hawaii and parts of Canada on a single media
allowing for seamless routing across coverage areas.


Street and city names can be changed. For this reason, there may
be exceptions where the names stored on the DVD do not match the
names that have been changed.


Navigation DVDs can be purchased from an Audi dealer. The
dealer can also provide you with information about navigation DVD
updates.


GPS positioning works in only one direction, i.e. the navigation
system receives data to determine vehicle location, but does not
broadcast data.
Navigation route guidanceFig. 113 Navigation: Example of screen in the Navigation System display
Guidance for your route navigation is provided both visually and
acoustically:

with voice messages
page 112


through a screen in the Navigation System display

(
page 112)


through a display in the instrument cluster
fig.114
(
page 113)Tips


If the recommended route is not followed, the system will calcu-
late a new route from the current location.


It is also possible to start the navigation in demo mode
page 161 for simulation purposes.
