Voice recognition system

Voice recognition system
General information
Applies to: vehicles with voice recognition system
You can operate many functions in the vehicle
easily using voice commands.
Using the voice recognition system optimally
> Speak clearly and distinctly at a normal volume.
Speak louder when driving faster.
» Emphasize the words in the commands evenly
and do not leave long pauses.
> Close the doors, the windows, and the sunroof*
to reduce background noise. Make sure that
passengers are not speaking when you are giv-
ing a voice command.
> Do not direct the vents toward the hands-free
microphone, which is in the roof headliner near
the front interior lights.
> Only the driver should speak to the system, be-
cause the handsfree microphone is aimed to-
ward this seating position.

ZA\ WARNING

driver, you have complete responsibility for
safety in traffic. Only use the functions in
such a way that you always maintain com-
plete control over your vehicle in all traffic
situations.
— Do not use the voice recognition system in
emergencies because your voice may change
in stressful situations. The system may take
longer to dial the number or may not be
able to dial it at all. Dial the emergency

number manually.

There are no voice guidance* prompts when a
dialog is active.

Switching the lights on and off


Fig. 35 Instrument panel: light button module
@ Light switch &
Press and hold @ until the desired light function
is selected. The selected function is displayed
briefly in the instrument cluster. When switching
on the ignition, the AUTO light function is auto-
matically selected.
— AUTO - The automatic headlights adapt to the
surrounding brightness automatically. The day-
time running lights* will automatically turn on.
In vehicles for certain markets, you can switch
the automatic daytime running lights* on and
off in the MMI.
— 20 - You can switch the low beam headlights on
manually once the ignition is switched on.
— 3 - You can switch the parking lights on at
speeds below 20 mph (32 km/h).
— USA models: OFF - You can switch off all light
functions at speeds under 6 mph (10 km/h).
— Canada models: OFF - You can switch off all
light functions when the ignition is switched off
while the vehicle is stationary.
When the low beam headlights or parking lights
are switched on, the respective Ba or EB indica-
tor light appears in the instrument cluster.
@ All-weather lights 2
The headlights automatically adjust so that there
will be less glare, for example when the road sur-
face is wet.
52
@ Rear fog lights %
To reduce glare for traffic behind your vehicle, the
rear fog lights should only be turned on in ac-
cordance with the legal regulations in the coun-
try where you are operating the vehicle.
Automatic headlight range control
Your vehicle is equipped with automatic head-
light range control. It reduces glare for oncoming
traffic if the vehicle load changes. The headlight
range adjusts automatically.
Audi adaptive light
Applies to: vehicles with Audi adaptive light
Audi adaptive light provides better visibility when
driving in the dark. The lights are adapted to the
road conditions based on speed, such as when
driving on expressways, rural roads, at intersec-
tions, and around curves. The adaptive light only
functions when the automatic headlights are ac-
tivated.

ZA WARNING
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 138.
— Automatic headlights are only intended to
assist the driver. The driver is still responsi-
ble for controlling the headlights and may
need to switch them on and off manually
depending on light and visibility conditions.
For example, fog cannot be detected by the
light sensors. So always switch on the low
beams ZO under these weather conditions

and when driving in the dark.

@ Tips
— If the vehicle battery has been discharging
for a while, the parking light may switch off
automatically. Avoid using the parking
lights for several hours.
— When using lighting equipment, the driver
is responsible for adhering to any local ap-
plicable regulations while driving and when
parking the vehicle.
— Only the front headlights turn on when the
daytime running lights are switched on*. In >

vehicles in certain markets, the tail lights
will also turn on.
—In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals, and tail lights can
fog
over due to the temperature difference
between the inside and outside. They will
clear shortly after switching them on. This
does not affect the service life of the light-
ing.
— When the parking lights are switched on
and the ignition is switched off, the 200} sym-
bol appears in the light switch module.

High beam assistant
Applies to: vehicles with high beam assistant

The high beam assistant automatically turns the
high beams on or off depending on the surround-
ing conditions.
A camera on the rearview mirror mount can de-
tect light sources from other road users. The high

coming vehicles, the vehicle speed as well as oth-
er environmental factors and traffic conditions.
