Navigation System plus and its components. You can find addi-
tional information on vehicle operation in your Owner's Manual.

Important NotesNotes on Traffic Safety
To ensure driving safety, settings in the Navigation
System must only be performed when the vehicle is
parked.The broad range of equipment in the Audio Navigation System
provides a wealth of potential entertainment and a wide variety of
information in addition to navigation.
Carry out your settings in the Navigation System only when the
vehicle is stationary. Avoid using the Navigation System while you
are driving so that you can devote your full attention to traffic. Use
the controls on the multi-function steering wheel*
page 21 while
you are driving.
WARNING


Pay attention first and foremost to your driving! As the driver
of the vehicle, you have total responsibility for operating the
vehicle safely. Therefore, when using the Navigation System func-
t io n s , m ak e c er t ai n t h at y o u a l w ay s h av e c o m p l et e c o n t ro l o f y o u r

cloth.Display
The Display can be cleaned with a professionally available “LCD
cleaner”. The cloth should be slightly dampened with the cleaning
fluid to clean the display.

trapped between the buttons and the housing. We recommend
giving the controls a final wipe with a cloth moistened with water
and dish washing detergent.

Treat the display with care. Pushing on it with your finger or
touching it with sharp objects can cause dents or scratches.Switching on and offAutomatic switching on and offThe Navigation System switches on automatically after you turn on

Tips
You can find information about the different drives starting on page 34.Anti-theft codingGeneral
Effective safety measures in conjunction with the PIN
prevent misuse of the equipment by unauthorized
parties.The electronic lock-up is operational, if:

the Navigation System is removed from the vehicle,


the Navigation System is disconnected from the vehicle current
supply,


the battery is disconnected or


the electric fuse for the Navigation System is blown.
I f t h e a n t i - t h e ft c o d i n g h as l o cke d up t h e N a v i g a t i o n S ys t e m fo r o n e
of the reasons given, the speller display for entering the PIN
page 14, fig.6 appears after the Navigation System is switched
on.
After that, the Navigation System can only be operated again only
by entering the correct PIN.
This PIN is attached to the equipment card along with the equip-
ment number.
The PIN can be used for your equipment alone and cannot be
changed.
Note
The “equipment card” should be removed and kept in a safe place -
under no circumstances should it be kept in the vehicle. This makes
the Audi Navigation System unusable by thieves.Applies to vehicles: with convenience codingUser-friendly radio codingAft e r t he P I N i s e n t e re d t h e fir s t t im e , t h e N a v i g a t i o n S ys t e m g e t s to
know its vehicle.
If the power supply was interrupted, the Navigation System checks
to see whether it is still its vehicle. If it is, the Navigation System is
ready for use again after a few seconds.
It is no longer necessary to manually disable the electronic lock!
However, if the Navigation System is installed in another vehicle,
the electronic lock must be cancelled by entering the PIN page 14.
