Multi Media Interface

Introduction

Information about traffic safety

You can display and operate Infotainment system

and vehicle functions using the touch display in

the Multi Media Interface, abbreviated MMI.

Audi recommends only using certain Infotain-

ment system functions, such as entering a desti-

nation or pairing a mobile device, while the vehi-

cle is stationary. Be prepared to stop operating

the Infotainment system at any time in the inter-

est of your safety and the safety of other road

users.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you may be

able to download other apps in addition to the

ones that are preinstalled ðpage 203.

Configuration wizard

After starting for the first time, the configuration

wizard helps you to set up the vehicle, for exam-

ple to set the desired system language and con-

nect a phone.

WARNING

– Only use the Infotainment system when

road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-

tions permit and always in a way that allows

you to maintain complete control over your

vehicle.

►

Follow the instructions in the center display.

►

Applies to: MMI: To access the configuration

wizard at a later time, select on the home

screen: HELP > Configuration wizard.

– This also applies to operating your mobile

device via the MMI. Do not allow the visual

or audio signals from a mobile device to dis-

tract you from traffic, because this increases

the risk of an accident.

Tool tips

You can have tool tips displayed if necessary.

They introduce various MMI functions to you.

Tips

►

Applies to: MMI: To open the tool tips, select on

the home screen: HELP > Tool tips > Basic in-
