Wi-Fi Hotspot
Applies to: vehicles with Wi-Fi hotspot
You con use the MMI as a Wi-Fi hotspot to con
nect up to eight Wi-Fi devices to the Internet.
While driving, restricted use
of non-secured,
light, small wireless devices is only possible from
the rear of the vehicle.
Requirement: the ignition must be switched on.
.,. Select: I MENU I button >Telephone > right con
trol button > Wi-Fi settings.
The
following settings can be modified in the Wi·
Fi settings menu:
Wi-Fi mode
The MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is deactivated at the fac
tory. Switch the Wi-Fi hotspot to Hotspot before
establishing a connection between your vehicle
and your Wi
-Fi device.
-
Hotspot: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is active and
visible
to other devices. A connection can be es
tablished with new wireless devices.
-
Hotspot and client: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is
active. An internet connection to a personal Wi
Fi hotspot (such as a smartphone) can be estab
lished. Using Network searc h c:? page 126, you
can search for your personal hotspot and con
nect to the MMI.
-
Off: the MMI Wi-Fi hotspot is deactivated. An
Internet connection is not possible.
Hotspot settings
The Wi-Fi connection between your vehicle and
your Wi-
Fi device (laptop, cell phone) is e ncr ypt
ed. To establish a connection, you must enter the
following values when setting up your wireless
device.
You can change them if necessary.
- Access
point (SSID): name of the Wi-Fi net
work.
-
Passwo rd: a random password was set at the
factory for the MMI. The password can be
changed. The WPA2 encryption method
re
quires a password to be at least 8 characters
long. Select a secure password.

A list of available Wi-Fi networks in your area is
displayed.
A WARNING
~ --As the driver, do not allow usage of the Wi-
Fi hotspot to distract you from driving, as
this could increase the risk of an accident.
-
It is only safe to use laptops and similar mo
bile 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
t ypes
of devices securely while driving.
-
Do not use any wireless devices on the front
seats within range of the airbags while driv
ing. Also note the warnings in the "Airbag
System" chapter under "Important Informa
tion on the Front Airbag System"
c:? page 192, Front airbags.
@Note
You are responsible for all precautions taken
for data protection, anti-virus protection and
protection against loss
of data on mobile de
vices that are used to access the Internet
through the Wi-Fi hotspot.
(D Tips
-A separate, paid mobile subscription may be
needed
to use the Wi-Fi hotspot. You can
obtain more information from your cell
phone servi
ce provider.
- Being able
to receive the data packet from
th e internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot, may re
sult in add itiona l costs, especially when op
erating in foreign countries, depending on
your cellular phone plan: the use
of a flat
rate data plan is highly recommended! You
can obtain more information from your cell
phone service provider.

-If liquid soaks into the front passenger seat,
this can keep the airbag system from work
ing properly
and may, for instance,
deactivate
the passenger frontal airbag . If
this happens, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
light will come on and stay on together with
the airbag indicator light fl in the instru
ment cluster.
-
If liquid is pooled on the seat, but has not
soaked in, this may also keep the airbag sys
tem from working properly and cause the
passenger frontal airbag to be enabled
(turned on), even though there is a properly
installed child
restraint system on the seat.
Wet towels or other wet things on the seat
cushion can have the same effect. If the
front passenger frontal airbag is turned on,
the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light light
will go
out.
How the Advanced Airbag System
components work together
The front Advanced Airbag System and the side
airbags supplement the protection offered by the
front three-point safety belts with pretensioners
and load limiters to help reduce the risk of injury
in a wide range of accident and crash situations.
Be sure to read the important information about
safety and heed the WARNINGS in this chapter.
Deployment
of the Advanced Airbag System and
the activation of the safety belt pretensioners de
pend on the deceleration measured by the crash
sensors and registered by the electronic control
unit. Crash severity depends on speed and decel
eration as well as the mass and stiffness of the
vehicle or object involved in the crash.
On the passenger side, regardless of safety belt
use, the front passenger frontal airbag will be
turned off ifthe electrical capacitance measured
by the capacitive passenger detection system on
the front passenger seat is less than the amount
programmed in the electronic control unit. The
front passenger frontal airbag will also be turned
off if the capacitance measured by the system for
the front passenger seat equals that of an infant
of about one year of age in one of the child seats
that was used to certify the Advanced Airbag Sys-
Airbag system
tern under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
208. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes
on and stays on to tell you when the front Ad
vanced Airbag System on
the passenger side has
been turned off c::;, page 200.
A WARNING
f-=
To reduce the risk of injury when an airbag in-
flates, always wear safety belts properly.
-
If you are unrestrained, leaning forward, sit
ting sideways
or out of position in any way,
your risk
of injury is much higher .
-
You will also receive serious injuries and
could even be killed if you are up against the
airbag or too close to it when it inflates -
even with an Advanced Airbag ¢page 188.
More important things to know about front
airbags
Fig. 157 Inflated front airbags
Safety belts are important to help keep front
seat occupants in the proper seated position so
that airbags can unfold properly and provide sup
plemental protection in a frontal collision.
The
front airbags are designed to provide addi
tional protection for the chest and face of the
driver and the front seat passenger when:
-
safety belts are worn properly,
-
the seats have been positioned so that the oc-
cupant is properly seated as far as possible
from the airbag .
Because
airbags inflate in the blink of an eye with
great force, things you have on your lap or have
placed on
the seat could become dangerous pro
jectiles, and
be pushed into you ifthe airbag in-
flates. .,..
