time of printing or may only be offered in certain countries.
Th e illustrations are designed as schematic images. Some of the
details on your vehicle may therefore look slightly different than
illustrated in this manual.Structure of the bookThe contents are systematically structured in a color-coded layout
to make it easier to locate specific topics and understand them.Chapters, Table of Contents and IndexThe contents of the book are divided into relatively small sections
that are summarized in clearly arranged chapters (e.g. “System
Operation”). To make it easier to use the book, we have identified
the individual chapters with the color codes from the Audi Naviga-
tion System. Each color code is shown in the bottom margin of the
chapter as well as in the headings and illustrations.
In front of each chapter, icons shaded with the background color
code of that specific section help to make the book more attractive
and also serve to differentiate the fonts and facilitate navigation.

Index a t t h e e n d o f t h e b o o k h e l p y o u to qu ick ly fin d t h e i n fo rm a t i o n
you need.SectionsThe information in most sections apply to all vehicles. However,
since the equipment level is not the same on all vehicles, this book
also contains sections which may not apply to your particular
vehicle. When this is the case, the section will be identified, for example: “Applies to vehicles: with Audi cd changer”. This way, you
only have to read the sections which are applicable to your vehicle.
Although the information has been grouped into the appropriate
sections, there are many possible equipment combinations which
may be described in this book, but not installed on your vehicle.

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.

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.
