function repaired.
Integrated Toll Module
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
Depending on the region, you can pay toll fees in
certain countries using the Integrated Toll Mod-
ule (ITM). It replaces a separate transponder for
detecting toll fees. The system electronics are in-
tegrated in the rearview mirror housing.
G) Tips
For an explanation on conformity with the
FCC regulations in the United States and the
Industry Canada regulations, see > page 289.
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
To use the ITM in toll zones, you must register it.
> Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Settings & Service > Integrated Toll
Module.
> Note the Integrated Toll Module ID.
> To register the ITM, go to the displayed web ad-
dress and follow the instructions.
Depending on the number of passengers and the
region, a lower toll fee may be charged. You must
either enter the number of passengers in the
MMI or deactivate the ITM based on the laws ap-
plicable in the area where you are driving.
> To enter the number of passengers, select the
respective button.
> To activate or deactivate the ITM, press CD.
@) Tips
— The driver is responsible for specifying the
correct number of passengers and activat-
ing or deactivating the ITM.
— Malfunctions can occur when detecting tolls
if both the ITM and transponder are activat-
ed. Deactivate the system not being used or
remove it as necessary.
—If a rearview mirror is replaced, you must
register the new ITM and remove the old
ITM from the account.
Display
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
The selected number of passengers is displayed
in the MMI status bar > page 19.
The i symbol in the status bar and a notifica-
tion in the MMI will indicate if there is a faulty
connection between the ITM and the MMI or if
the ITM is faulty. If the connection interference
continues or the ITM is faulty, drive immediately
to an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
Programming the system
Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
In certain areas, the ITM can be programmed to
the transponder previously used in the vehicle.
The ID number and possible discounts are trans-
ferred from the ITM.
You can find detailed information about the pro-
gramming process as well as additional informa-
tion about the ITM at www.itmsignup.com/Audi.

tance of approximately 2.4 in (6 cm) to the
Audi phone box charging plate. The thresh-
olds for prolonged exposure at this distance
comply with ICNIRP1998. Therefore, inter-
actions such as irritation of sensory organs,
malfunctions of active implants (such as
pacemakers, infusion pumps, or neurosti-
mulators) or effects on passive implants
(such as prosthetic limbs) is highly unlikely.
If you have an implant, consult a medical
specialist if you have any questions. You can
also switch the function for wireless charg-
ing in the front* Audi phone box on and off
separately. You can continue to charge your
mobile device using a cable connection.
