@ Tips
— The device runs a self test after power has
been restored to the control unit. If a self
test is successful, all indicator lights will il-
luminate green for two seconds.
— If a household socket is used for the charg-
ing process, the charging power level is au-
tomatically set to 100%. If multiple electri-
cal consumers are connected to a circuit,
the charging power may be limited to 50%
when charging with a household socket in
order to relieve the load on the electrical in-
stallation.
— If an industrial socket is used for the charg-
ing process, the charging power level is au-
tomatically set to 50%. To receive the maxi-
mum charging power, the value must be set
to 100%.
— The Audi e-tron compact charging system is
designed for charging at sockets with a volt-
age of 120 V/240 V. If your socket has a dif-
ferent voltage, contact and authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
— If your Audi e-tron compact charging sys-
tem has a fixed connection, meaning can be
connected directly to the power supply
without a power cable, contact a qualified
electrician or an authorized Audi dealer or
authorized Audi Service Facility.

ZA\ WARNING
— Note the warnings for charging > A in
Charging on page 109.
— Before switching the power cable, always
unplug the power cable from the socket.
— Only change cables in a dry environment.

as a complete unit consisting of the power
cables, the control unit, and the vehicle ca-
ble. We recommend using only cables ap-
proved by Audi.

i) Tips
The power cable with the power connector for
industrial sockets and the Audi charging sys-
tem control unit are designed to work togeth-
er. Changing the power cable to another con-
nector type may reduce the available charging
power of the entire system.

Driver assistance

Situation symbols
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
symbols may be shown. The symbols indicate the
situation to which the efficiency assist is respond-
ing.
Some symbols only appear if Predictive messag-
es are switched on, and some symbols only ap-
pear if Predictive control is switched on and
adaptive cruise assist* is active.

Description
Slow down
(predictive messages only)
Speed limit
(example)
Speed limit

Curve or Exit ahead
Intersection ahead
Traffic circle ahead
Steep grade
(predictive messages only)
Vehicle driving ahead
(predictive messages only)
(predictive control only) If the indica-
tor light turns on in green and red, it
is indicating that there is a difference
between the speed limit and the set
speed.


ZA\ WARNING
— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 123.
—Incertain situations, the recuperation may
brake proactively. However, the recuperation
braking effect is limited. Always be ready to
brake to reduce the risk of an accident.

G) Tips
— The functions depend on the navigation da-
ta* being up-to-date and correct identifica-
tion by the traffic sign recognition*.
— The system only detects traffic signs that
specify a speed limit.
— Except for the road network, which is re-
corded in the navigation system’s map infor-
mation, certain functions may not be availa-
ble.
— The display in the instrument cluster is
based on the units of measurement used for
speed in the country where the vehicle is be-
ing operated. As a result, a display of 50 in
the instrument cluster can mean either
km/h or mph, depending on the country.
— Specific settings are stored automatically in
the active personal profile.
Predictive messages
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist
Requirements
— The cruise control system* or the adaptive
cruise assist* controls must not be active.
— The vehicle speed must be at least 20 mph
(30 km/h).
— The remaining distance until the situation is
reached must be large enough to allow the sys-
tem to react to the situation.
Display
The symbol SS appears in the instrument cluster
display if efficiency assist recommends removing
your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Additional symbols that indicate the situation to
which the efficiency assist is reacting are shown
in the Driver assistance display > page 136, Sit-
uation symbols.
Settings
You can switch functions off or adjust them indi-
vidually. The settings depend on the vehicle
equipment.
Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Charging & Efficiency > Efficiency assist

you will be notified that your mobile device is still
in the Audi phone box when you leave the vehicle.
Requirement:
—A Qi-capable?) mobile device must be in the Au-
di phone box, or
— Your mobile device must be connected to the
Audi music interface by a USB adapter, and the
Audi smartphone interface must be active, or
— Your iPhone® must be connected to the MMI
via Bluetooth® > page 170 and must be charg-
ing through the Audi music interface using a
USB adapter.
Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: SET-
TINGS > General > Mobile device reminder sig-
nal.

mobile device wirelessly in the Audi phone box.

ZA WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
— The mobile device may become hot during
wireless charging. Pay attention to the tem-
perature of your mobile device and be care-
ful when removing it from the Audi phone
box.
— An alternating magnetic field is used for
wireless charging. Maintain a minimum dis-
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.
