Media
Solution
For many ce ll phones or mobile devices, playback is not possible
when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its capacity).
The mobile de-vice will only be recognized as a source in the MMI
after connecting if the battery charge is sufficient.
The
Bluetooth audio player f unction is switched on. Switch this
function off
c:> page 231 when you a re not using the Bluetooth
audio player.
Reset the Media settings to the facto ry defau lt settings
c:>page 230.
When connecting a nd disconnecting, the External audio player
source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnecting the
mobile device, either mute the device (refer to
c:> page 233) or
sw itch to a different audio source (for example
c:> page 204, Open-
ing the radio function).
Only one interface should be act ively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback.
When importing playlists, a ll of the fi les themselves must be im-
ported.
If yo u cannot find impor ted tracks in the media center, they may
not be supported. Only copy supported files
c:> page 223 to the
Jukebox.
Close the
Audi MMI connect app on the connected dev ices (for ex-
ample, smartphones) that are not being used as the Wi-Fi audio
p laye r*. Likewise, close the UPnP server apps or the media pe rm is-
sions on the integrated UPnP/DLNA server. Connect the desired
device as a Wi-Fi audio pla yer*
c:> page 213.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection switch
must be switched on in the
Audi MMI connect app status screen.
Malfunctions can occur during audio playback if the
Hotspot and
client a)
c:> page 177 Wi-Fi mode setting was selected. For p layback
without interference, Audi recommends the
Hotspot setting for
Wi-Fi mode.

Repair , care and disposal of the airbags
Parts of the a irbag system are installed at many
different places on your Audi. Installing, remov­ ing, servic ing or repa iring a part in an area of the
ve hicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly
i n a collision .
There are some important things you have to
know to make sure that the effectiveness of the
system w ill not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
env ironment.
A WARNING
Improper care, serv icing and repai r proce­
dures can increase the r is k of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de­
ploying when needed or dep loying an airbag
unexpectedly:
-
- Never cover, obstruct, or change the stee r­
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in­
strument pane l or modify them in any way.
268
- Never attach any objects s uch as c upholders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov­
ering the a irbag un its.
- For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois­
tened w ith plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the st iffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag canno t deploy and p rotect
properly.
- Never repair, adjust , or change any parts of
the airbag system.
- All work on the steering wheel, inst rument
panel, front seats or e lectr ica l system ( in­
cluding the installation of a udio eq uipment,
cellular telephones and C B radios, etc.)
m ust be perfo rmed by a qualified techn ician
who has the training and specia l equipment
necessary.
- For any work on the airbag system, we strong ly recommend that you see your au­
thorized A udi dealer or qualified workshop.
- Never modify the front b umper or parts of
the vehicle body.
- Always make sure that the side a irbag can
inflate w ithout interference:
- Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by
A udi.
- Never use additional seat c ushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in­
flate.
- Damage to the orig inal seat cove rs or to
the seam in the area of the s ide airbag
module mus t always be repaired immedi­
ate ly by an autho riz ed Au di dealer.
- The a irbag system can deploy on ly once. Af­
ter an airbag h as been deployed, i t m ust be
repla ced with new replacement parts de­
signed and approved espec ia lly for your
Audi model version . Replacement of com­
plete airbag systems or airbag components
must be perfo rmed by qua lified workshops
only. Make su re that any airbag service ac­
tion is entered in your A udi Warranty

& WARNING
Charging a battery can be dangerous.
- Always follow the operat ing instruct ions
provided by the battery charger manufactur­
er when charging your battery .
- Never charge a frozen ba ttery . It may ex­
plode because of gas trapped in the ice. A l­
low a frozen battery to thaw out first .
- Do not reuse batteries wh ich were frozen.
The battery housing may have cracked and
weakened when the battery froze .
- Charge the battery in a we ll ventilated area.
Keep away from open flame or electrical
spark. Do not smoke . Hydrogen gas generat­
ed by the battery is exp losive.
- To reduce the danger of explosion, never
connect or disconnect charger cables whi le
the charger is operat ing.
- Fast charging a battery is dangerous and
should only be attempted by a competent
technician with the proper equipment.
- Battery acid that may spill during charging
should be washed off with a solution of
warm water and baking soda to neutralize
the acid .
(D Note
Never use a fast charger as a booster to start
the engine. This will serious ly damage sensi­
tive electronic components, such as control
units, relays, radio, etc ., as well as the battery
charger .
Replacing the battery
Your veh icle is equipped with an inte llige nt ene r­
gy management system for d istr ibut ing elect rici ­
ty ¢
page 138. The battery cha rges better in
vehicles with the en ergy management system
than in vehicles without the system. To ensure
that th e additional pow er is availabl e after re ­
p lac ing the battery, rep lacing w ith the same type
of b attery from the s ame manufac turer ( like the
battery that was delivered with the veh icle) is
recommended . Yo ur authorized deale r must code
the battery in the energy management system to
Ch eck ing and Filling
enable you to use the energy management func­
tions corr ectly aft er replacing the batt ery .
If it is no t possib le to use a battery of this type,
the new battery mus t have the same capacity,
vo ltage ( 12-volts), amperage, construction and
plug sealing.
When install ing the battery, make sure the ig ni­
t ion and all electr ica l cons umers are tu rned off.
Q) Note
- Vehicles, fo r example with a Start-Stop sys­
t em*, a re equipped with a specia l cycle­
proof bat tery (such as an AGM battery). In­
sta lling a different type of battery can cause
prob lems in the veh icle elect rical system .
When replacing the vehicle battery, always
install one w ith the same specifications as
the origina l battery.
- Make sure that the gas venting hose is al­
ways connected to the original opening on the battery s ide . Otherw ise gasses or bat­
tery acid could leak out .
- Battery mounts and clamps must always be
secured correct ly .
- Read and follow the warn ings under
¢
page 313, Working on the battery before
performing any work on the battery.
® For the sake of the environment
Because of the problem of proper d isposa l of
a battery, we recommend your authori zed
Audi dealer change the battery for you. Bat ­
teries contain sulfur ic acid and lead and must
always be disposed of properly in compliance
wi th a ll envi ronmenta l reg ulat ions. Dispos ing
of veh icle bat teries improperly is very da nger­
ous to the environment.
