Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MM!. You can play, for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface*
and operate it through the MM!.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ­
ing the SD card reader and th e USB storage de­
vice
connecti on*) was tested w it h a variety of
products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video* files may not be recog­
n ized,
may play only with restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video* files are subject to copyright
protection.
The
media drives do not play files that are pro­
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol~.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi
AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files*. Audi recom­
mends using storage media that only contain au­
d io/video files*. To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex­
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi­
tional information that is stored (such as the ar­
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check
the Gracenote metadata database .
Media
However, in some cases, the additional informa­
tion may not be displayed.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media set­
tings to the factory default settings if functional­
ity is restricted r:!> page 166.
Reset the Jukebox* to the factory default set­
tings if functionality is restricted~ page 166.
For information about the properties of support­
ed media and file formats, refer tor:!> page 157.
CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format restrictions: the functionali­
ty of in dividual storage media may be limited due
to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs avai lable and
t h e various
capacities. Audio CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con ­
form to the standard and multisession CDs may
have limited playback or may not play at all. Audi
recommends finalizing the recording process
when creating multisession CDs. Multisession is
not supported for DVDs.
Using CDs /DVDs, the CD dri ve o r the DVD drive:
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er­
rors, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective
sleeve and do not expose them to direct sunlight.

-Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
-Single CDs/DVDs (3 inch/8 cm diameter)
-CD/DVDs that are not round
-CDs/DVDs with labels
- Protective rings
-
Cleaning CDs
Thermal protection switc h : CD/DVD playback
may be temporarily unavailable if outside tem­
peratures are extremely hot or cold. A thermal
protection switch is installed to protect the CD/
DVD and the laser.
Laser
devices: laser devices are divided into safe­
ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76
(CO) 6/VDE 0837. The optical readers that are in­
stalled conform to safety class 1. Lasers in this
class are very weak and well shielded, so there is
no
danger if used correctly.

Safe driving
Basics
Safe driving habits
Please remember -safety first!
This chapter contains important information,
tips, instructions and warnings that you need to
read and observe for your own safety, the safety
of your passengers and others. We have summar­
ized here what you need to know about safety
belts, airbags, child restraints as well as child
safety. Your safety is for us priority number 1. Al­
ways observe the information and warnings in
this section -for your own safety as well as that
of your passengers.
The information in this section applies to all
model versions of your vehicle. Some of the fea­
tures described in this sections may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be optional
equipment on others. If you are not sure, ask
your authorized Audi dealer.
A WARNING
---Always make sure that you follow the in-
structions and heed the WARNINGS in this
Manual. It is in your interest and in the in­
terest of your passengers.
-Always keep the complete Owner's Litera­
ture in your Audi when you lend or sell your
vehicle so that this important information
will always be available to the driver and
passengers.
-Always keep the Owner's literature handy so
that you can find it easily if you have ques­
tions.
Safety equipment
The safety features are part of the occupant re­
straint
system and work together to help reduce
the risk
of injury in a wide variety of accident sit­
uations.
Your safety and the safety of your passengers
should not be left to chance. Advances in tech­
nology have made a variety of features available
to help reduce the risk of injury in an accident .
Safe driving
The following is a list of just a few of the safety
features in your Audi:
-
sophisticated safety belts for driver and all pas-
senger seating positions,
-
safety belt pretensioners,
-safety belt force limiters for the front seats,
-front airbags,
- knee airbags for the front seats*
-side airbags in the front seats,
-side curtain airbags with ejection mitigation
features,
-special LATCH anchorages for child restraints,
-adjustable steering column.
These indiv idual safety features, can work to­
gether as a system to he lp protect you and your
passengers in a wide range of accidents. These
features cannot work as a system if they are not
always correctly adjusted and correctly used.
Safety is everybody's responsibility!
Important things to do before driving
Safety is everybody's job! Vehicle and occupant
safety always depends on the informed and care­
ful driver.
For your safety and the safety of your passen­
gers, before driving always:
... Make sure that all lights and signals are operat­
ing correctly .
... Make sure that the tire pressure is correct.
... Make sure that all windows are clean and afford
good vis ibility to the outside.
... Secure all luggage and other items carefu lly
c::> page 176, c::> page 48.
... Make sure that nothing can interfere with the
pedals .
... Adjust front seat and mirrors correctly for your
height.
... Make sure to use the right child restraint cor­
rectly
to protect chi Id ren Q page 212, Child

... Fasten your safety belt and wear it properly . Al­
so instruct your passengers to fasten their
safety belts properly ¢ page 180.
What impairs driving safety?
Safe driving is directly related to the condition of
the vehicle, the driver as well as the driver 's abili­
ty to concentrate on the road without being dis­
tracted .
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve­
h icle
and all of its occupants. If your ability to
drive is impaired, safety risks for everybody in the
veh icle increase and you also become a hazard to
everyone else on the road ¢.&,.Therefore :
... Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a cellular telephone .
... NEVER drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medications, alcohol,
drugs, etc.).
... Observe all traffic laws, rules of the road and
speed limits and plain common sense.
... ALWAYS ad just you r speed to road, traffic and
weather cond itions.
... Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for
more than two ho urs at a stretch.
... Do NOT drive when you are tired, under pres­
sure or when you are stressed.
A WARNING
Impaired dr iv ing safety increases the risk of
serious personal injury and death whenever a
vehicle is
being used.

Correct passenger
seating positions
Proper seating position for the driver
The proper driver seating position is important
for safe, relaxed driving.
Fig. 142 Correct seating pos it ion
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury
in the event of an acc ident, we recommend
that you adjust the driver's seat to the following
position:
... Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily
push the pedals all the way to the floor while
keeping
your knee(s) slightly bent¢.&,.
... Adjust the angle of the seatback so that it is in
an
upright position so that your back comes in
full contact with it when you drive.
... Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a d is­
tance of at least 10 in (25 cm) between the
steering wheel and your breast bone ¢fig. 142.
If not possible, see your authorized Audi deal­
ership about adaptive equipment .
... Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering
wheel and airbag cover points at your chest and
not at your face .
... Grasp the top of the steering wheel with your
elbow(s) slightly bent .
... Fasten and wear safety belts correctly
¢ page 184 .
... Always keep both feet in the footwell so that
you are in control of the vehicle at all times.

Safety belts
General notes
Always wear safety belts!
Wearing safety belts correctly saves lives!
This chapter explains why safety belts are neces­
sary, how
they work and how to adjust and wear
them correctly.
... Read all the information that follows and heed
all of the instructions and WARNINGS.
A WARNING
Not wearing safety belts or wearing them im­
properly
increases the risk of serious personal
injury and death.
-Safety belts are the s ingle most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile acc idents.
For your protection and that of your passen­
gers, always co rre ctly wea r safety belts
when the vehicle is moving.
-
Pregnant women , inju red, or physically im­
paired
persons must also use safety belts.
L
ike all vehicle occupants, they are more
likely to
be serio us ly injured if they do not
wea r safety belts. The best way to protect a
fetus is to protect the mother -throughout
the entire pregnancy.
Number of seats
Your Audi TI Coupe has two seating positions in
the front and two height-limited seating posi­
tions in the rear . Each seating position has a safe­
ty
belt. T he rear seat area in your Audi TT Coupe
does not have enough room fo r passengers of all
sizes. For
reasons of safety, no person taller than
4 ft 9 in (S 7 i n/1.45 m) should ever ride in the
rear seat area.
A WARNING
t--=
Not wear ing safety belts or wearing them im-
properly
increases the risk of serio us personal
injury and death.
180
- Never strap more than one person, includ­
ing
small children, into any belt. It is espe­
cially dangerous to place a safety be lt over a
child
sitting on your lap.
- Never
let more people ride in the vehicle
than there are safety belts available.
-
Be sure everyone riding in the vehicle is
properl y restrained with a separate safety
belt o r child restraint.
-
Persons taller than 4 ft 9 in (57 in/1.45 m)
as well as children in booster seats who are
too close to the rear window and roof ca n
suffer severe head and nec k injuries when
the rea r lid is closed or in a crash.
- The
minimum clearance between the pas­
senger's heads and the rear window must
never -un de r any circumstances -be less
that lin (2.5 cm) when th e passengers sit
fu lly upright.
-Always make sure that rear seat passengers
cannot be stru c k when the rear lid is closed.
4 Safety belt warning light
Your vehicle has a warning system for the driver
and front seat passenger to remind you about
the importance of buckling up.
Fig. 145 Safety belt warning lig ht in the instrument cl us­
ter - e nla rged
Before driving off, always:
... Fasten your safety belt and make sure you wear
it properly.
... Mak e sure that you r passengers also bu ck le up
and properly wear th e ir safety belts.
... Protect chi ld ren with a ch ild restraint system
appropriate for the size and age.

The warning light. in the instrument cluster
lights up when the ignition is switched on as a re­
minder to fasten the safety belts. In addition,
you will
hear a warning tone for a certain period
of time.
Fasten you r safet y belt and make su re that you r
pas sengers also prop erly put on
their safety
b elts .
A WARNING
-Safety belts are the single most effective
means available to reduce the risk of serious
injury and death in automobile accidents .
For your
protection and that of your passen­
gers, always correct ly wear safety be lts
when the veh icle is moving .
- Failure
to pay attention to th e warning ligh t
t
hat comes on could lead to persona l injury.
Why safety belts?
Frontal collisions and the law of physics
Frontal crashes create very
strong forces for peo­
ple riding in vehicles.
Fig. 146 U nbelted occupants in a veh icle headin g for a wall
Ci: Fig. 14 7 The vehicle crashes into the wall CX)

Safety belt s
The physical principles are simple. Both the vehi­
cle and
the passengers possess energy which var­
ies with vehicle
speed and body weight. Engi­
neers call this energy "kinetic energy."
The higher the speed of the vehicle and the
greater the vehicle's weight, the more energy
that has to be "absorbed" in the crash.
Vehicle speed is the most significan t factor. If
the speed doubles from 15 to 30 mph (25 to 50
km/h), the energy increases 4 times!
B ecau
se the passengers of t his vehicle are not us­
ing
saf e ty belts~ fig. 146, they will keep moving
at the same speed the vehicle was moving just
before the crash, until something stops them -
here, the wall~ fig. 147.
The same principles apply to people sitting in a
vehicle
that is invo lved in a frontal co llision. Even
at city speeds of 20 to 30 mph (30 to 50 km/h),
the forces acting on the body can reach one ton
(2,000 lbs, or 1,000 kg) or more. At higher
speeds, these forces are even greater.
People who do not use safety belts are also not
