Important Safety Instructions and Warnings

Audi connect®

• Only use Audi connect® services when road and trac

conditions permit. Using these services could increase the

risk of an accident. Some Audi connect® services are only

available when the vehicle is stationary to reduce the risk of

distracting the driver.

• To reduce the risk of a collision, use the Audi connect®

services with a Wi-Fi hotspot in the rear seat only if the

vehicle is in motion or only when the vehicle is stationary.

• As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-Fi hotspots to

distract you from driving, as it could increase the risk of an

accident.

• It is only safe to use laptops and similar mobile devices

when the vehicle is stationary because, like all loose objects,

they could be thrown around the inside of the vehicle in a

crash and cause serious injuries. Store these types of devices

securely while driving.

• Do not use any Wi-Fi devices in the front seats within

range of the airbags. Read and follow the safety precautions

in the separate vehicle owner’s manual in the “Airbag

System” chapter under “Important information about the

front airbag system”.

Automatic Climate Control

• Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause accidents.

• For safe driving it is very important that all windows be

free of ice, snow and condensation.

• Completely familiarize yourself with the proper use

and function of the heating and ventilation system and

especially how to defog and defrost the windows.

• Never use the windshield wiper/washer system in freezing

weather until you have warmed the windshield ﬁrst, using

the heating and ventilation system. The washer solution

may freeze on the windshield and reduce visibility.

• Do not use the recirculation for extended periods of time.

The windows could fog up since no fresh air can enter the

vehicle. If the windows fog up, press the air recirculation

button again immediately to switch o the air recirculation

function or select defrost.

BLUETOOTH® Pairing

• Collisions and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.

Speaking on or using a phone while driving can distract the

driver from trac.

• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals

from the outside are still audible (e.g., the sirens of

emergency rescue vehicles.) Observe legal regulations.

• In areas with no or poor mobile network coverage

and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways, phone

conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible

to make phone calls, even emergency calls!

• In some countries, emergency calls may only be supported

when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone

package which has a SIM card that is “not blocked” and/or

has sucient credit on it.

• Unmounted or improperly mounted mobile phones can ﬂy

around in the event of a sudden driving or braking maneuver

or a collision. This may cause injury.

• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, on

the windshield or on or near the area on the steering

wheel marked “AIRBAG,” the instrument panel, the seat

backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/

passengers. Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in

cases of collisions, especially when the airbags are inﬂated.

• Always switch o your mobile telephone at gas

stations or wherever there is a ﬁre or explosion hazard.

Electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks which can start

ﬁres.

• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the

mobile network when the Bluetooth connection to the

mobile phone package is disconnected.

• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection

to an external antenna might exceed electromagnetic

radiation thresholds. This also applies if the external

antenna is not installed properly.

• Keep a distance of at least eight inches between the

antennas of the mobile phone and a pacemaker, since

mobile phones can aect the functionality of a pacemaker.

• Do not carry a mobile phone on standby mode in the

breast pocket directly on top of a pacemaker.

• If interference is suspected, immediately switch o the

mobile phone.

• Always keep the armrest closed while driving. The center

armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and

thus cause collisions and severe injuries.

Cruise Control

• Always pay attention to the trac around you when the

cruise control is in operation. You are always responsible for

your speed and the distance between your vehicle and other

vehicles.

• For reasons of safety, cruise control should not be used in

the city, in stop-and-go trac, on twisting roads and when

road conditions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain

and hydroplaning) - risk of accident.

• Turn o the cruise control temporarily when entering turn

lanes, highway exit lanes or in construction zones.

• Please note that inadvertently “resting” your foot on the

accelerator pedal causes the cruise control not to brake. This

is because the cruise control is overridden by the driver’s

acceleration.

• If a brake system malfunction such as overheating occurs

when the cruise control system is switched on, the braking

function in the system may be switched o. The other cruise

control functions remain active as long as the indicator light

is on.

• You should only return to the saved speed if it is not too fast

for the current trac conditions - risk of an accident!

Memory Seats

• Never adjust the driver’s or front passenger’s seat while the

vehicle is moving. If you do this while the vehicle is moving,

you will be out of position. Always adjust the driver’s or front

passenger’s seat when the vehicle is not moving.

• Be careful when adjusting the seat height. Check to see that

no one is in the way, or serious injury could result!

• Because the seats can be electrically adjusted with the

ignition o or with the ignition key removed, never leave

children unattended in the vehicle. Unsupervised use of the

electric seat adjustments may cause serious injury.

• To reduce the risk of injury in the case of sudden braking or

accident, front passengers must never ride in a moving vehicle

with the backrest reclined. Safety belts and the airbag system

only oer maximum protection when the backrest is upright

and the safety belts are properly positioned on the body. The

more the backrest is reclined, the greater the risk of personal

injury from an incorrect seating position and improperly

positioned safety belts.

• Occupants in the front and rear seats must always be properly

restrained.

• Do not let anyone ride in the vehicle without the head

restraints provided.Head restraints help to reduce injuries.

• Loose items inside the passenger compartment,can ﬂy

forward in a crash or sudden maneuver and injure occupants.

Always store articles in the luggage compartment and use the

fastening eyes, especially when the rear seat backs have been

folded down.

• For safety reasons, the seat must only be adjusted when the

vehicle is stationary - danger of accident! – Exercise caution

when adjusting the seat. Adjusting the seat without checking

or paying attention can pinch ﬁngers or limbs - danger of

injury!

• For safety reasons, the seat setting can only be recalled when

the vehicle is stationary - otherwise you risk having an accident.

• In an emergency the recall procedure can be cancelled by

pressing the OFF switch or by tapping of the memory buttons.
