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) 
Page 115 of 194
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

DVD. In this way, guidance to your destination can be calculated 
precisely.

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

lites are turned off or disabled, this may result in interference with 
GPS reception and make it more difficult to determine vehicle loca-
tion.
