Driving information
The Sl symbol will appear when pedestrian and
wild animal detection is not available.
Marking light*
To direct the driver's attention to a pedestrian,
the headlights can flash on the pedestrian when
there is a pedestrian warning.
This occurs at speeds above approximately
35 mph (60 km/h) if you are outside of illuminat-
ed areas and no detected vehicles are shown. The
marking light is not used for wild animals. The
high beam assistant* controls the marking
light*> page 49.
Adjusting the contrast
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Requirement: the night vision assist must be
switched on and the 1 tab must be displayed.
> Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-

The system is not functioning correctly at the
time, so it has been switched off. If the malfunc-
tion persists, drive immediately to an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility to
have the malfunction repaired.
Integrated Toll Module
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
Depending on the region, you can pay toll fees in
certain countries using the Integrated Toll Mod-
ule (ITM). It replaces a separate transponder for
detecting toll fees. The system electronics are in-
tegrated in the rearview mirror housing.
To use the ITM in toll zones, you must register
and activate it.
Registration
> Applies to MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Vehicle informa-
tion Toll module.
> Note the Integrated Toll Module ID.
> To register the ITM, go to the displayed web ad-
dress and follow the instructions.
Activation
> To activate the ITM, press CD in the MMI.
Entering the number of passengers
Depending on the number of passengers and the
region, a lower toll fee may be charged. You must
either enter the number of passengers or deacti-
vate the ITM based on the laws applicable in the
area where you are driving.
> To enter the number of passengers, select the
appropriate button in the MMI.
> To deactivate the ITM, press C in the MMI.
@) Tips
— The driver is responsible for specifying the
correct number of passengers and activat-
ing or deactivating the ITM.
— Malfunctions can occur when detecting tolls
if both the ITM and transponder are activat-
ed. Deactivate the system not being used or
remove it as necessary.
—Ifa rearview mirror is replaced, you must
register the new ITM and remove the old
ITM from the account.
—The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
> page 288.
Display
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
The selected number of passengers is displayed
in the MMI status bar > page 20.
The ii symbol in the status bar and a notifica-
tion in the MMI will indicate if there is a faulty
connection between the ITM and the MMI or if
the ITM is faulty. If the connection interference
continues or the ITM is faulty, drive immediately >
