High safety standards
With a thoroughly optimised body design and
comprehensive safety equipment, the new
Audi A4 is able to comply with all current valid
safety standards, throughout the world.
Crash sensors for the front airbags integrated
directly into the bumper bar, improve occu-
pant protection.
Finely-tuned aerodynamics
Despite the greater frontal area and the cool-
ing air current for the air conditioner (stand-
ard), it was possible to improve the C
D
value
by 5 %, in comparison to its predecessor,
to 0.28.
A special feature is the so-called aero-floor,
which provides for optimal airflow on the
underside of the vehicle.
Communication centre on wheels
With regard to infotainment, the new
Audi A4 leaves nothing to be desired.
4 different audio systems, 2 differently config-
ured Navigation systems and a car phone
with voice operation are on offer.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)
including brake assistant
For the latest ESP generation, the hydraulic
brake assistant is an integral part of the
standard equipment.
It is intended to assist the driver by automati-
cally increasing the brake pressure during
emergency braking.

CAN data bus
The Audi A4 is equipped with a widely
extended CAN data bus system.
Due to the ever increasing number of control
units installed in the vehicle and the associ-
ated requirement for data exchange, the
importance of the CAN data bus system
increases significantly.For communication between the
installed control units and the diagnos-
tic tester, two diagnosis wires (K and L)
are available.
The newly developed adapter VAS 6017 ena-
bles communication with all control units.

Dash panel insert
There are two dash panel insert versions:
– "lowline"
– "highline"
The "highline" version is equipped with a
high-quality colour display for the driver infor-
mation system and is installed in vehicles
with navigation systems as well as telematics.The dash panel insert of the new Audi A4 is
equipped with
– the gateway for linking the three data bus
systems: drive, convenience, information
– and the immobiliser III.

In order to ensure good signal reception for
the radio clock, the receiver is installed in the
rear bumper bar. User prompt in the centre display via the con-
trol switch in the centre console, is only avail-
able in vehicles with
– navigation system ("highline" version only)
and/or
– telematics and/or
– auxiliary heater and/or
– tyre pressure monitoring.
The optional driver information system
includes the following functions:
– radio clock
– auto-check system
– on-board computer.

Radio symphony II
A 6x CD changer as well as a cassette player
are integrated in the symphony II radio.
Searching for alternative frequencies is
speeded up by the use of a second tuner. The
second tuner also allows for Traffic Message
Channel (TMC) evaluation in the background.
For further information, please refer to the
relevant operating instructions.
CAN networking in the new generation of
radios
All three radio versions are connected to the
data bus information system.

Navigation IV and Navigation Plus-D
The new Navigation System IV and Navigation
System Plus-D are equipped with the dynamic
routing system.
The following traffic hold-ups are taken into
account during route planning:
– closed roads
– tailbacks and
– slow-moving traffic.
The system’s sources of information are the
traffic information from the radio stations via
the Travel Message Channel and from the
telematics
®
(optional) via the telephone
connection.
Once it is switched on, the navigation system
takes account of the traffic messages within a
radius of approx. 50 km around the vehicle.
If the route planning is activated, any hold-
ups are taken into consideration.
New hold-ups which arise are immediately
accounted for in the routing and the driver is
re-routed.
Data transfer of the traffic data is by
– Travel Message Channel data from the
radio
– Telephone data from the telematics control
unit J526
to the navigation system via the data bus
information system.

Menu
Within the menu structure of the navigation
system, the driver is able to
– switch the dynamic routing on and off,
– select the source of traffic information,
– manually exclude route sections from the
route planning.
For further information, please refer to the
operating instructions.
Travel Message Channel (TMC)
The TMC is a component of the Radio Data
System (RDS), which is transmitted by the
radio stations.
The information in the TMC includes the loca-
tion, type and duration of traffic hold-ups
reported by the police, automobile associa-
tions and government authorities in a coded
form standard throughout Europe.
The TMC data is not currently transmitted by
all radio stations.
This requires the use of a second tuner in the
radio or in the interface of the Navigation
System Plus.
As only the symphony II radio is equipped
with a second tuner, the use of TMC data for
dynamic routing is only possible with this
version.
Dynamic routing in conjunction with the
chorus II and concert II radios is only possible
by means of the traffic messages via tele-
phone with telematics

.

The navigation system diagnostics is interro-
gated via the L-wire.
