age of 120 V/240 V. If your socket has a dif-
ferent voltage, contact and authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
— If your Audi e-tron compact charging sys-
tem has a fixed connection, meaning can be
connected directly to the power supply
without a power cable, contact a qualified
electrician or an authorized Audi dealer or

High-voltage system


— Only change cables in a dry environment.
— The Audi charging system may only be used
as a complete unit consisting of the power
cables, the control unit, and the vehicle ca-
ble. Depending on the country, the total
length of the power cable, control panel and
vehicle cable may be restricted, for example
to 24.6 feet (7.5 m) in the USA. Audi recom-
mends using only cables approved by Audi.
@) Tips
The power cable with the power connector for
industrial sockets and the Audi charging sys-
tem control unit are designed to work togeth-
er. Changing the power cable to another con-
nector type may reduce the available charging
power of the entire system. Limitations on
the ability to transfer power (current capacity)
depending on the phase and the number of
available phases may affect the available
charging power.
Wall mo clip

row toward the rear > fig. 89 and let it lock into
place.
> Wrap the excess length of cable around the
charging connector mount @ when you are not
charging the high-voltage battery.
> Plug the power cable into the socket (2).
> After charging, you can hook the vehicle charg-
ing connector to the charging connector mount
©.
Locking and unlocking the Audi charging
system
> You can lock or unlock the Audi charging sys-
tem using the key provided by turning it to the
lock position @) or the unlock position 6).

ZA WARNING
— Always follow the information found in > AA
in General information on page 186.
— Driver messages, text messages, and illumi-
nated warning and indicator lights in the ve-
hicle always take priority over information
from the Audi connect services. The infor-
mation displayed by the Audi connect serv-
ices should not cause you to take safety
risks. This can result in the vehicle breaking
down in traffic and to serious injuries or ac-
cidents.
— Applies to: vehicles with electric drive: Only
perform the Audi connect climate control
functions if your vehicle was shut off cor-
rectly and the ignition is switched off.
— Applies to: vehicles with electric drive: Only
perform charging functions on the high-
voltage battery if the vehicle is shut off cor-
rectly, is connected to a suitable socket ,and
if the ignition is switched off.
@) Tips
— Accessing specific data or controlling func-
tions remotely depends on the charge level
of the vehicle battery. Therefore, these
functions only have limited availability after
switching off the ignition.
— An eSIM card establishes the Internet con-
nection for Audi connect vehicle control
services. The costs for this are included in
the price of Audi connect vehicle control
services. The cell phone network, for exam-
ple, must be available to use these services.
Applies to: vehicles with Audi connect vehicle control

Some services require you to enter a 4-digit
PIN that you set up during registration.
Settings
Applies to: vehicles with Wi-Fi hotspot
Requirement: the ignition must be switched on.
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
SETTINGS > Connection settings > Wi-Fi
Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following functions may be available:
Wi-Fi
When the function is switched on, the MMI&#39;s Wi-
Fi hotspot is active and Wi-Fi devices can be con-
nected to the hotspot.
Wi-Fi hotspot settings
The Wi-Fi connection between the MMI and your
Wi-Fi device is encrypted. You can change the fol-
lowing information if needed.
— Access point (SSID): name of the Wi-Fi hot-
spot.
— Password: an initial password was set at the
factory in the MMI. Audi recommends changing
the initial password. Only use secure passwords
that conform to the general guidelines for se-
cure passwords. For more information, refer to
reputable and current sources on password se-
curity.
Allow data connection through Wi-Fi
When the function is switched on, mobile devices
can use the Internet connection through the Wi-
Fi hotspot. A data plan is needed to do this.

the suggested charging duration s= and the dis-
tance from the current location.
Gi) Tips
— The calculated arrival time at the destina-
tion incorporates the suggested time for
charging at the stopovers.
— The e-tron route planner continuously calcu-
lates the fastest route while taking into ac-
count the charging times at various charg-
ing stations. Therefore, a route with multi-
ple charging stops could be faster than a
route with fewer charging stops.
