Note
•Please note that only the MMI and its components are described
in this operating manual. For more information about your vehicle's
equipment and features, please refer to your Owner's Manual.
•The arrangement of the MMI switches and controls on right-
hand drive models* may be slightly different from the layout shown
in
page 8, fig. 1. However, the symbols used to identify the
controls are the same.
MMI: Multi Media Interface
The Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) combines different
communication and entertainment systems in your Audi.
With your MMI you can listen to the radio or CDs, watch television*
and even connect portable players*1). The navigation system*
guides you directly to your destination. You can also follow your
individual route plan with up to three stopovers. Information about traffic conditions is taken into account when calculating your route.
Of course, you can use many your mobile phone's* functions in
conjunction with the MMI. Alternatively, a handset is available for
the integrated Bluetooth car telephone kit*. In addition, the MMI
combines various driver assistance systems of your vehicle.
You can access the comprehensive infotainment system in several
ways. On the one hand, you can reach all functions via the MMI
control console with its intuitive and standardised operation
concept. On the other hand, you can access frequently used MMI
functions via the multi-function steering wheel or the speech
dialogue system.
Notes on traffic safety
You should only perform important functions, e.g. enter a naviga-
tion destination, while the vehicle is stationary. Please always bear
in mind: Be prepared to stop operating the system in the interest of
your safety and that of other road users.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, only operate the MMI when the
traffic conditions allow you to do so safely and when you can
maintain proper control of your vehicle - risk of injury.
•The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD player, etc.) should
only be set at a level which enables you to hear distant police and
emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so could result in an acci-
dent.
•Please heed laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.

Navigation 104
Navigation
Applies to vehicles: with navigation system
Introduction
Let the “Global Positioning System” (GPS) guide you to
your destination.
Wasting time studying confusing maps and tediously planning
routes are things of the past! Now you can simply enter your desired
destination into the navigation system, and the route guidance will
guide you directly to it. You can also set up to three stopovers on the
way to your destination.
The route guidance will be transmitted in the form of spoken cues
that will inform you in good time of any necessary turns, stops etc.
In which language would you like to hear the route guidance? You
can select any of the following languages: German, English, French,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish or Dutch. You can have the last route
guidance cue repeated by pressing the right-side thumbwheel on
the multi-function steering wheel
page 137.
A detailed route map is displayed on the MMI screen
page 110.
You can also receive information on your route via the driver infor-
mation system
page 111.
If you do not want to follow a certain route guidance cue, no
problem! The navigation system will re-calculate the route from the
current location of the vehicle. In addition, if the dynamic navigation
function is activated, the navigation system will even take into
account traffic reports so that you can reach your destination even
faster.
If the vehicle is located in a place that cannot be identified by the
software (e.g. car park), a speech cue will inform you of this.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers.
Please see
page 9, “Notes on traffic safety”.
•Pay attention to traffic rules when driving.
•The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommen-
dation of how best to reach a destination. Pay attention to traffic
lights, no stopping signs, lane change restrictions, one-way
streets, etc.
Caution
•Should the navigation directions contradict the current traffic
regulations, you must always follow the traffic regulations.
•The volume should only be set at a level which enables you to
hear distant police and emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so
could result in an accident.
Note
•Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aerial or interference
caused by trees or large buildings could affect the reception of the
satellite signals and make positioning difficult. GPS reception and
vehicle positioning can also be adversely affected by deactivation or
a malfunction of several satellites.
•Street and town names can change, therefore the names stored
on the DVD can in some cases be different from the names that have
since been changed.
•The navigation DVDs can only be purchased from Audi dealers.
They can also provide you with information on the most recently
updated navigation DVDs.










Navigation 112
After you have entered a destination or a route and have started the
route guidance, the navigation information is displayed in the driver
information system. If you select another function (e.g. radio) using
the multi-function steering wheel, the navigation will briefly be
replaced by the function selected
page 128.

The fewer bars are displayed, the shorter the distance to the
turn-off point.
WARNING
The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommenda-
tion of how best to reach a destination. Pay attention to traffic
lights, no stopping signs, lane change restrictions, one-way
streets, etc.
Note
An exclamation mark “!” in front of the street name indicates that
the navigation DVD does not contain all the information on this
street or street section. Pay attention to traffic rules such as one-way
streets or pedestrian zones.

Telephone speech control system 160
Telephone speech control system
Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
You can use speech commands to operate various func-
tions of the telephone.
Functions
The speech control and hands-free system together enable you to
operate the on-board phone system very conveniently. The speech
control system recognises commands and digits spoken by
different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:
•Store name tags
page 164
•Enter and dial a telephone number
page 163
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The
dialogue will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is
received.
Unrecognised speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with a tone signal. If the
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with
and request you to repeat the command. After a third
failed attempt the system will answer with and the
dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you
•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving
fast.
•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.
•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.

Should the system say , please check
the status of the speech control system:
•Is the MMI active and the ignition on?
•Does a Bluetooth connection exist between the mobile phone
and the on-board phone system (car telephone kit* or phone pre-
installation*)?
•Is the mobile phone inserted in the mobile phone adapter*25)?
•Is the mobile phone switched on and the PIN entered?
•Are the phone book entries being loaded from the mobile phone
into the on-board phone system (car telephone kit*
page 29 or
phone pre-installation*
page 23)?
WARNING
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech control system must not be used in cases of emer-
gency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could
result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial
emergency numbers manually!
