ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, only use

and follow the guidelines provided in
= page 20, Traffic safety information.
— It is only safe to use tablets, laptops, mobile
devices and other similar devices when the

objects, they could be thrown around the in-
side of the vehicle in a crash and cause seri-
ous injuries. Store these types of devices se-
curely while driving. Also read the warnings
in the chapter > page 68, General informa-
tion.

@) Note
— Applies to: embedded SIM card usage: The
connection costs for Audi connect Infotain-
ment services are included in the price of

charges when using some services. For ex-
ample, this applies to online radio/
podcasts, additional online data, or for In-
ternet connections and services that use the
Wi-Fi hotspot, such as online media sour-
ces. Depending on the country, data plans
may need to be purchased for these services
= page 179. For additional information, see
my.audi.com.
— In certain situations, the Wi-Fi hotspot data
connection may be established as a replace-
ment for the SIM card on your Wi-Fi device.
This feature depends on the configuration
174
of your Wi-Fi device and operating system.
This could result in fees depending on your
cell phone service provider, especially if you
are using this feature while abroad. A flat
rate data plan is strongly recommended. For
more information, contact your cell phone
service provider or refer to the owner's man-
ual for your Wi-Fi device.

standard is not available in every country.
Contact an authorized Audi dealer or au-
thorized Audi Service Facility or your cell
