Note
•Please note that only the MMI and its components are described
in this operating manual. For more information about your vehicle's
equipment and features, please refer to your Owner's Manual.
•The arrangement of the MMI switches and controls on right-
hand drive models* may be slightly different from the layout shown
in
page 8, fig. 1. However, the symbols used to identify the
controls are the same.
MMI: Multi Media Interface
The Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) combines different
communication and entertainment systems in your Audi.
With your MMI you can listen to the radio or CDs, watch television*
and even connect portable players*1). The navigation system*
guides you directly to your destination. You can also follow your
individual route plan with up to three stopovers. Information about traffic conditions is taken into account when calculating your route.
Of course, you can use many your mobile phone's* functions in
conjunction with the MMI. Alternatively, a handset is available for
the integrated Bluetooth car telephone kit*. In addition, the MMI
combines various driver assistance systems of your vehicle.
You can access the comprehensive infotainment system in several
ways. On the one hand, you can reach all functions via the MMI
control console with its intuitive and standardised operation
concept. On the other hand, you can access frequently used MMI
functions via the multi-function steering wheel or the speech
dialogue system.
Notes on traffic safety
You should only perform important functions, e.g. enter a naviga-
tion destination, while the vehicle is stationary. Please always bear
in mind: Be prepared to stop operating the system in the interest of
your safety and that of other road users.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, only operate the MMI when the
traffic conditions allow you to do so safely and when you can
maintain proper control of your vehicle - risk of injury.
•The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD player, etc.) 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 acci-
dent.
•Please heed laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.
