Media
Media
Introduction
The MMI system includes various media drives
and provides various options for connecting
devi
ces.
For example, you can play audio/video* files
from the jukebox* or connect mobile devices to
the Audi music interface* and operate it via the
MMI.
Notes
General information
Media and format limitations: The MMI system
(including the SD card reader and the connection
for
the USB mass storage device*) has been tes
ted for use with many of the products and media
currently available on the market. However,
there may be some devices/media and audio/vid
eo*
files that are not supported or cannot be
played,
or the functionality may be limited under
certain circumstances.
Digital rights management: Please note that
copyright Law applies to audio/video* files.
The MMI media drives do not support DRM-pro-
tected files; these files are marked with the sym
bol S.
Data storage: Never store important data on SD
cards,
the jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
AUDI AC shall not accept any liability whatsoever
for
the loss of files and media.
Loading times: The more files, folders or play
lists are stored on a storage device, the longer it
will take to load the audio files/video* files. We
recommend using a storage device which
con
tains only audio/video* files. If
you
want to re
duce the time it takes to load the audio/video*
files,
you can create subfolders (e.g. for an artist
or album). The loading time will be extended ad
ditionally if
you
are importing data.
Metadata: Metadata stored on audio files (e.g.
artists, tracks, album covers) will be displayed
automatically when the files are played. If this
information is not stored on the relevant medi
um,
the MMI system will use the database of
metadata from Gracenote. Nevertheless, meta
data may not be displayed in some cases.
Restricted performance: If
you
experience re
stricted performance, reset the Media settings
to the factory defaults
^page
256.
If
you
experience restricted performance from
the Jukebox*, reset it to the factory settings

For information on the characteristics of the sup
ported media and file formats, please refer to
opage
249 onwards.
CAUTION
Please always observe the information

Wi-Fi hotspot on page 202.
CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format limitations: In view of the
variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in memo
ry capacities, the functionality may be restricted
in the case of some storage devices. Under cer
tain circumstances, audio CDs/video DVDs that
are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs that do not com
ply with the standard audio format, and multi-
session CDs cannot be played at all, or the func
tionality may be limited. We recommend always
finalising the burning process when creating
multisession
CDs. Multisession is not supported
for DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD
drive:
To ensure perfect, high-quality playback
and avoid scanning errors or damage to the me
dia drive, always store CDs/DVDs in a suitable
case and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
- Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm)
- Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)
- CDs/DVDs with stickers
- Protective rings
- Cleaning discs
Thermal cut-out: In the case of unusually hot or
cold outside temperatures, it is possible that CD/
DVD playback will temporarily not be possible. A •

Child restraint systems are regulated by Europe
an standards ECE
R
44 or ECE-R
129x).
Both
standards apply in parallel. An orange label is
normally attached to child seats which have been
tested in accordance with these standards. Infor
mation on weight categories, ISOFIX size class
and the approval category of the child seat can
be found on this Label.
Weight categories for child seats
- Child seats: categories 0 and 0+: Rearward-
facing carry cots are most appropriate for these
categories (up to 13 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX base.
- Child seats: category 1: In this category (9 to
18 kg), rearward or forward-facing child seats
with an integrated seat belt system are most
appropriate. Rearward-facing child seats
should be used for as long as safely possible.
Our recommendation: Audi child seat with ISO-
FIX base.
- Child seats: categories 2 and 3: Child seats
with backrests used in conjunction with seat
belts are most appropriate for these categories
(15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation: Audi child
seat "youngster plus".
Approval categories for child seats
Child seats can have the approval categories
uni
versal,
semi-universal, vehicle-specific (all ac
cording to the ECE-R 44 standard) or
i-Size
(ac
cording to the ECE-R 129 standard).
- Universal: Child seats approved for the univer
sal category are suitable for installation in any
vehicle. A model list is not required. Universal
category child seats for ISOFIX anchorages
must be secured additionally by
a
top tether
strap.
- Semi-universal: Safety appliances requiring ad
ditional tests are required for securing a child
seat with semi-universal approval. Child seats
with semi-universal approval have a model list
which must include your vehicle.
-Vehicle-specific: Vehicle-specific approval re
quires that the child seat undergo a separate
1)
The ECE-R 129 standard has not yet been implemented by
the national authorities in all countries.
dynamic test for each vehicle model. Child
seats with a vehicle-specific approval also have
a model List.
- i-Size: Child seats with
i-Size
approval must
comply with the installation and safety require
ments specified in the ECE-R 129 standard.
Your child seat manufacturer can inform you
which child seats with
i-Size
approval are ap
propriate for your vehicle.
A WARNING
- Rearward-facing child seats: Never install a
rearward-facing child seat on the front pas
senger's seat unless the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated - this can result
in potentially fatal injuries to the
child.
If
you have no alternative but to let
a
child
travel on the front passenger's seat, the
front passenger's airbag must be deactiva
ted*
beforehand
^>page
288.
- Forward-facing child seats: The back of the
child seat should be flush with the backrest
of the vehicle seat. If the rear head restraint
obstructs you when installing the child seat,
adjust or remove it completely
^>page
59.
Install the head restraint again immediately
after removing the child seat. Adjust the
head restraint to the correct height for the
passenger. Travelling with the head re
straints removed or incorrectly adjusted in
creases the
risk
of severe injuries.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the
hips,
and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
- Wait for as long as possibLe before changing
up to the next child seat group.

Fuel
Petrol grade
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The
correct grade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
and must only be run on unleaded petrol. Petrol
must be sulphur-free and must comply with the
EN 228 standard. You can fuel your vehicle with
fuels containing a maximum of 10%
ethanol
(E10). The petrol grades have different octane
ratings (RON).
The following headings relate to the sticker on
the inside of your vehicle's tank flap:
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ
95
Super,
Premium or
min.
RON/ROZ 91 Normal
The use of premium petrol (95 RON) is recom
mended.
If
that
type of fuel is not available,
reg
ular petrol (RON 91) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
Unleaded fuel only, min. RON/ROZ
95
Super, Premium
Premium petrol (at least 95 RON) must be used.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
be run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an
emer
gency measure. In this case only use moderate
engine speeds and a light throttle. Fill up with
premium or Super Plus petrol as soon as possi
ble.
Unleaded fuel only RON/ROZ 98 Super Plus
or min. RON/ROZ 95 Super, Premium
The use of Super Plus petrol (98 RON) is recom
mended.
If
that
type of fuel is not available, pre
mium petrol (RON 95) can be used with a slight
loss of power.
If premium petrol is not available, the engine can
be run on regular petrol with 91 RON as an
emer
gency measure. In this case only use moderate
engine speeds and a light throttle. Fill up with
premium or Super Plus petrol as soon as possi
ble.
© CAUTION
- Do
NOT fuel
your vehicle with
high-ethanol
fuel blends (e.g. E50 or E85). This will dam
age the fuel system.
- just one tank of leaded fuel or fuel with
metallic additives will permanently impair
the efficiency of the catalytic converter.
- You should use only petrol additives which
have been approved by Audi. Additives with
so-called octane boosters or antiknock
addi
tives can contain metallic additives that
cause significant damage to the engine and
the catalytic converter. Do not use such ad
ditives.
- Metal-based fuels, which can be identified
from the marking on the fuel dispenser,
must not be used. LRP fuel (lead replace
ment petrol) also contains high concentra
tions of metallic additive. Risk of engine
damage!
- High engine speed and full throttle can
damage the engine when using petrol with
an octane rating lower than the correct
grade for the engine.
- You can use higher octane fuel than your en
gine requires.
- In countries where sulphur-free fuel is not
available, you may use low-sulphur fuel in
stead.
Diesel fuel
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
Please note the information on the inside of the
fuel tank flap.
The use of sulphur-free diesel complying with
the EN 590 standard is recommended.
Diesel can thicken at very low temperatures,
which can result in problems starting the engine
or prevent the engine from running smoothly.
For this reason, filling stations in some countries
offer winter-grade diesel fuel during the cold

CAUTION
- Please note that summer and winter tyres
are optimised for the prevailing road condi
tions at different times of
year.
We recom
mend that you use winter tyres during the
winter months. At low temperatures, sum
mer tyres lose their elasticity and grip, and
braking performance also suffers as a re
sult. Cracks can form in the tread block on
summer tyres if they are used at very cold
temperatures, and this can cause perma
nent damage to the tyres. An increase in
rolling noise and tyre imbalance may result
from this damage.
- Machined, polished or chrome-plated rims
must not be used in winter conditions. The
process used to manufacture these types of
wheel rim does not provide adequate sur
face protection against corrosion, and the
rims can be permanently damaged by road
salt or similar.
New wheels or tyres
It is best to have all servicing of wheels and tyres
performed by a qualified workshop, since they
have the necessary special tools and replacement
parts in addition to trained personnel.
•
New tyres do not yet give maximum grip. When
driving with new tyres, drive at moderate
speeds and be especially careful during the first
500 km.
•
All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of the
same type, size (rolling circumference) and
preferably the same tread pattern.
• Tyres should be replaced in pairs and not
indi
vidually (i.e. both front tyres or both rear tyres
together).
•
We recommend the use of Audi Genuine Tyres.
If
you
wish to use other tyres, please note that
the actual size can differ from the nominal size
marked on the tyre

If
you
wish to purchase a different combination
of rims and tyres than the ones fitted on the ve
hicle during production, it is advisable to
con
sult
a
qualified workshop beforehand

The sizes of the rims and tyres approved
for
your
vehicle are listed in the vehicle's documents (e.g.
EC
Certificate of Conformity or COC
document1)).
The vehicle documents vary depending on the
country in which the vehicle is registered.
If the spare wheel* is
not
the same type as the
tyres fitted on the car (for example if the car has
winter tyres or wide-section tyres) you should on
ly use the spare wheel* if
a
puncture occurs, and
then
only
for
a
short period of time. In this case,
please drive with extra care. Refit
a
normal road
wheel as soon as possible.
Applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive: All four
wheels must always be fitted with tyres of the
same type, make and tread pattern, as the drive-
line could otherwise be damaged by variations in
the wheel speeds. For the same reason, only use
a spare wheel* which has the same rolling cir
cumference as the normal road wheels.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre
sidewall (possibly only on the inner side of the
wheel): •
