WARNING

How it works

Please note the safety precautions and system

limitations of the supporting systems, sen-

sors and cameras ðpage 171 to ðpage 174.

The manoeuvre assist helps the driver when park-

ing and manoeuvring by using sensors to monitor

the area at the front, rear and side of the vehicle.

In the event of an impending collision with an-

other object, the system intervenes, within cer-

tain system limits, and attempts to prevent a col-

lision by braking the vehicle. The system can de-

tect objects higher than approx. 20 cm.

Note

– The system is only partially available if tow-

ing mode is detected. The white frame is

not displayed in the areas which are inac-

tive. If the towing bracket is not factory-fit-

ted the functions may not be deactivated

automatically.

Display overview

The symbols and indicators 1 – 4 show the sta-

tus and availability of the manoeuvre assist.

– If the indicator lamp  flashes while the

vehicle is in motion, the ESC is intervening

and the manoeuvre assist is cancelled.

Introduction

Applies to: vehicles with telephone

You can use a wide range of telephone functions

in your vehicle conveniently via the MMI.

Note

The following options may be available depend-

ing on your country and the vehicle’s equipment:

– The maximum range of the Bluetooth con-

nection is limited to the interior of the vehi-

cle.

– Connecting a mobile phone via Bluetooth

– Using two telephones

– You can find a selection of supported Blue-

tooth devices in the database for tested mo-

bile devices at www.audi.com/bluetooth.

– Using the Audi phone box

WARNING

– According to health organisations, mobile

phones may interfere with the function of

pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm

between the mobile phone aerial and the

pacemaker should therefore be maintained.

Setting up

Connecting a mobile phone via Bluetooth

Applies to: vehicles with telephone

Important: The vehicle must be stationary, and

the ignition must be switched on. The Bluetooth

settings must be open on your mobile phone dur-

ing the connection procedure. The mobile phone

you would like to connect must not be connected

actively to any other Bluetooth device. The MMI

must not be connected to more than one mobile

phone.

– Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast

pocket directly over the pacemaker when

the phone is switched on.

– If you suspect interference, switch the mo-

bile phone off immediately.

– The speech dialogue system* ðpage 34

must not be used in cases of emergency,

since the voice changes in stressful situa-

tions. This could result in a failed or delayed

telephone connection. Always dial emergen-

cy numbers manually!

►

Switch on the Bluetooth function and discover-

ability on both the MMI system ðpage 307 and

the mobile phone.

– Switch off your mobile phones in all areas

where there may be a risk of explosion. Re-

member that these areas may not always be

adequately marked. Such places are filling

stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities

or transport vehicles and other places where

fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane

or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or

large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from

flour, wood or metal) could accumulate in

the air. This warning also applies to all other

places where you would normally switch off

the drive system.

►

Applies to MMI: On the home screen, select

TELEPHONE.

Follow the instructions given by the system.

The available Bluetooth devices will be shown

after a few seconds.

►

Press on the desired mobile phone in the list of

Bluetooth devices shown.

A PIN for a secure Bluetooth connection will be

created.

►

Confirm the PIN on your mobile phone.

Follow the instructions given by the system.

Please note any system queries on the MMI and

your mobile phone.

►

– Driving on the road requires the full atten-

tion of the driver. Please always note the in-

formation in the chapter ðpage 26, Notes

on traffic safety.

After connecting successfully

The contacts on the mobile phone are automati-

cally loaded into the MMI. This may take several

minutes, depending on how many contacts are

stored on the mobile phone.

Using two telephones

Applies to: vehicles with telephone

Depending on the mobile phone and the type of

connection, you can use the following functions:

You can connect two mobile phones simultane-

ously via Bluetooth HFP to the MMI system (e.g.

your business and personal mobiles). You can

then be reached inside the vehicle on both mo-

bile phones.

Using the handsfree system

Important: Your mobile phone must be connec-

ted to the MMI via the Bluetooth Hands Free Pro-

file (HFP).

Applies to mobile phones with Bluetooth Mes-

sage Access Profile: You can send and receive

messages with both mobile phones ðpage 251.

The handsfree system is available for use. Your

phone calls will be made via the aerial of your

mobile phone.

Connecting a second mobile phone

Important: A mobile phone must be connected to

the MMI. The vehicle must be stationary, and the

ignition must be switched on. The Bluetooth set-

tings must be open on your mobile phone during

the connection procedure. The mobile phone you

tively to any other Bluetooth device.

Sending and receiving text messages

Refer to ðpage 251.

Note

– Please note any system queries on your mo-
