(Audi tablet)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi tablet
You can control available sources in the vehicle
(such as the radio) using the Audi tablet and lis-
ten to them through the vehicle speakers or
headphones. You can also display vehicle infor-
mation (such as the next oil change service). The
Audi tablet also has applications and functions
that are not related to the vehicle.
ZA WARNING
— As the driver, do not allow usage of the Audi
tablet to distract you from driving, as this
could increase the risk of an accident. For
example, do not reach behind you while
driving to operate the Audi tablet.
— Children in rear-facing child safety seats in
the rear: remove the Audi tablet from the
backrest on the front seat to reduce the risk
of
injury. Read the instructions in the chap-
ter > page 91.
— The Audi tablet can only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary or when it is secure-
ly positioned in the designated holder in the
vehicle. Like all loose objects, it could be
thrown through the vehicle and cause seri-
ous injuries in a collision. If the Audi tablet
is not in the designated holder, it must al-
ways be securely stowed while driving.
— Do not use any wireless devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv-
ing. Also read the warnings in the chapter
=> page 86.
— The back of the Audi tablet can become hot
while charging. Pay attention to the housing
temperature, and be careful when removing
the Audi tablet from the holder.
@) Note
— Always follow the information found in >®
in General information on page 216.
— Protect the Audi tablet against prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight.
— Extremely high or low temperatures that
can occur inside vehicles may damage the
Audi tablet or impair its performance. Never
leave your Audi tablet in the vehicle in ex-
tremely high or low temperatures.
— Protect the Audi tablet from coming into
contact with any fluids.
G) Tips
— If the Audi tablet is used when the ignition
is switched off or outside of the range of the
MMI, then only the non-vehicle applications
and functions will be available.
— Vehicle settings are only possible through
the MMI.
— Please note that a Wi-Fi connection does
not automatically make it possible to use
the
Internet. For additional information,
see the chapter > page 216.
— The Audi tablet makes it possible to access
services from external providers. Permanent
availability cannot be guaranteed, because
that depends on the service provider.
— When playing online media sources, there
may be longer loading times or restrictions
on media playback, depending on the Inter-
net connection or the Wi-Fi usage (for ex-
ample, if there is intensive usage by multi-
ple devices on the hotspot, such as tablets
or laptops).
— The Audi tablet has an anti-theft protection
feature: it can only connect to the MMI of
the associated vehicle. Also, the Audi tablet
will be disabled if it has not been connected
to the MMI for longer than 30 days. To ena-
ble it again, connect the Audi tablet to the

Stowing and using
Stowing and using
Power sources
When the ignition is switched on, you may be
able to use multiple power sources for external
devices, depending on the vehicle equipment.
12 volt sockets
You can connect electrical accessories to the 12
volt sockets. The power usage must not exceed
120 watts.
The 12 volt sockets are labeled with the 12V
symbol. They are located in the front center con-
sole, in the rear* and on the side trim panel in the
luggage compartment*.
USB ports
Applies to: vehicles with USB port
You can charge mobile devices using the USB
ports. The USB ports are labeled with the «<> or
(4 symbol or CHARGE ONLY.
115 volt socket
Applies to: vehicles with 115 volt socket
The socket is located in the center console in the
rear and can be used for electrical devices > A\.
The power usage must not exceed 150 watts.
When you push the device connector all the way
into the socket, the child safety mechanism re-
leases and there is electric current.
—If the LED on the socket is green or flashes
slowly, then the socket is ready for use.
—If the LED is red and flashes quickly, there is a
malfunction in the connected device or the
socket is too hot. The socket will switch off for
safety reasons. To reactivate the socket, remove
the device connector. Connect the device after
correcting the malfunction or reconnect after a
brief cool-down period.
— Incorrect usage can lead to serious injuries
or burns. To reduce the risk of injuries, never
leave children unattended in the vehicle
with the key.
Z\ WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with 115 volt socket
—To reduce the risk of fatal injury, do not in-
sert any conductive objects, such as knitting
needles, into the contacts on the socket.
—To reduce the risk of fatal injury, do not spill
any fluids on the socket. Should any mois-
ture enter the socket, make sure that it has
dried out completely before using the socket
again.
— If devices or connectors that are heavy (such
as a power supply unit) are attached directly
to the socket, the holder can become dam-
aged, which increases the risk of injury.
— Using adapters and extension cables in-
creases the risk of injury because they over-
ride the safety devices for the socket.
—To reduce the risk of injury, remove the con-
nector of the connected device if the socket
has switched off due to a malfunction.
Z\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of fatal injury, store all
connected devices securely when driving so
that they do not move around inside the ve-
hicle when braking or in the event of an acci-
dent.
@) Note
— Read the operating manuals for the con-
nected devices.
—To reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle
electrical system, never attempt to charge
the vehicle battery by connecting accesso-
ries that provide power to the power sour-
ces.
— Do not connect any device whose network
class (voltage) does not match the network
class designed for the socket.
— Disconnect the connectors from the power
sources carefully to reduce the risk of dam-
aging them.
(i) Tips
Applies to: vehicles with 115 volt socket
— Devices that are not shielded or devices near
the rear window antenna can cause mal-
functions in the radio, TV, or vehicle electri-
cal system.
