Using the telephone87
MMI componentsMMI control consoleMulti-function steering wheelTelephone handsetVoice control
Using the telephone
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit or phone pre-installation
Introduction
You can operate a mobile phone* or the handset conveniently via
the MMI system. It does not matter whether the mobile phone is
connected to the Bluetooth car telephone kit or the phone pre-
installation. The basic operation via the MMI control console is
always the same.
Many telephone functions that you are familiar with from your land
line or your mobile phone are available in your vehicle: You can
answer and end calls, place calls on hold and go back and forth
between two separate calls (switching calls). In addition, you can
access the MMI directory, the phone book on your SIM card and the
phone book on your mobile phone.
When you place or receive telephone calls the audio source is
muted automatically and the current media drive is paused. A
crossed-out loudspeaker will appear in the display when the system
is muted. After the call the audio source will return to its previous
volume.
You can set the system so that it will switch off the navigation* voice
guidance during phone calls if desired
page 119.
Caution
•You must switch off the telephone system via the MMI menu
(Setup Telephone) in areas where the use of mobile telephones is
prohibited. Please observe all relevant caution notices and regula-
tions.
•Switch off the car telephone kit, the handset*
page 140 and
any other mobile phones in all areas where there may be a risk of
explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling stations, fuel and chem-
ical storage facilities or transport vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or fuel vapours in vehi-
cles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from
flour, wood or metal) could accumulate in the air. This warning also
applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your
engine.
Note
The telephone functions will depend on the mobile network service
provider and the mobile phone used. For more information, contact
your service provider.
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit or phone pre-installation
Requirements for using the
telephone
If you want to use the telephone function of your MMI system, one
of the following requirements must be met:
•A mobile phone must be connected to the Bluetooth car tele-
phone kit
page 24, or
•A handset* must be connected to the Bluetooth car telephone kit

page 27, or
•A mobile phone must be connected to the phone pre-installation

page 19.
In vehicles fitted with a Bluetooth car telephone kit, the car tele-
phone must be switched on
page 26.










Navigation 104
Navigation
Applies to vehicles: with navigation system
Introduction
Let the “Global Positioning System” (GPS) guide you to
your destination.
Wasting time studying confusing maps and tediously planning
routes are things of the past! Now you can simply enter your desired
destination into the navigation system, and the route guidance will
guide you directly to it. You can also set up to three stopovers on the
way to your destination.
The route guidance will be transmitted in the form of spoken cues
that will inform you in good time of any necessary turns, stops etc.
In which language would you like to hear the route guidance? You
can select any of the following languages: German, English, French,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish or Dutch. You can have the last route
guidance cue repeated by pressing the right-side thumbwheel on
the multi-function steering wheel
page 137.
A detailed route map is displayed on the MMI screen
page 110.
You can also receive information on your route via the driver infor-
mation system
page 111.
If you do not want to follow a certain route guidance cue, no
problem! The navigation system will re-calculate the route from the
current location of the vehicle. In addition, if the dynamic navigation
function is activated, the navigation system will even take into
account traffic reports so that you can reach your destination even
faster.
If the vehicle is located in a place that cannot be identified by the
software (e.g. car park), a speech cue will inform you of this.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers.
Please see
page 9, “Notes on traffic safety”.
•Pay attention to traffic rules when driving.
•The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommen-
dation of how best to reach a destination. Pay attention to traffic
lights, no stopping signs, lane change restrictions, one-way
streets, etc.
Caution
•Should the navigation directions contradict the current traffic
regulations, you must always follow the traffic regulations.
•The volume should only be set at a level which enables you to
hear distant police and emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so
could result in an accident.
Note
•Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aerial or interference
caused by trees or large buildings could affect the reception of the
satellite signals and make positioning difficult. GPS reception and
vehicle positioning can also be adversely affected by deactivation or
a malfunction of several satellites.
•Street and town names can change, therefore the names stored
on the DVD can in some cases be different from the names that have
since been changed.
•The navigation DVDs can only be purchased from Audi dealers.
They can also provide you with information on the most recently
updated navigation DVDs.

Telephone speech control system 160
Telephone speech control system
Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
You can use speech commands to operate various func-
tions of the telephone.
Functions
The speech control and hands-free system together enable you to
operate the on-board phone system very conveniently. The speech
control system recognises commands and digits spoken by
different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:
•Store name tags
page 164
•Enter and dial a telephone number
page 163
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The
dialogue will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is
received.
Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with a tone signal. If the
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
<Pardon?> and request you to repeat the command. After a third
failed attempt the system will answer with <Cancel> and the
dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you
•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.
<The function is not possible>
Should the system say <The function is not possible>, please check
the status of the speech control system:
•Is the MMI active and the ignition on?
•Does a Bluetooth connection exist between the mobile phone
and the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*)?
•Is the mobile phone inserted in the mobile phone adapter*25)?
•Is the mobile phone switched on and the PIN entered?
•Are the phone book entries being loaded from the mobile phone
into the on-board phone system (car telephone kit*
page 29 or
phone pre-installation*
page 23)?
WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emer-
gency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could
result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial
emergency numbers manually!
25)Applies to phone pre-installation.
