ZA\ WARNING 
— To reduce the risk of an accident, only use 
Audi connect services when road and traffic 
conditions permit. Always read and follow 
the notes in > page 18, Traffic safety infor- 
mation. 
— It is only safe to use tablets, laptops, mobile 
devices and other similar devices when the 
vehicle is stationary because, like all loose 
objects, they could be thrown around the in- 
side of the vehicle in a crash and cause seri- 
ous injuries. Store these types of devices se- 
curely while driving. 
— 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. 
— Do not use any wireless devices on the front 
seats within range of the airbags while driv- 
ing. Also read the warnings in the chapter 
=> page 61, Airbag system. 
—To reduce the risk of an accident, use  the Au- 
di connect Infotainment services with a Wi- 
Fi hotspot only in the rear seat when the ve- 
hicle is in motion, or only when the vehicle is 
stationary.

ample, this applies to Internet radio/

chased for these services > page 157. For 
additional information, see my.audi.com. 
— In certain situations, the Wi-Fi hotspot data 
connection may be established as a replace- 
ment for the SIM card on your Wi-Fi device.

rate data plan is strongly recommended. For 
more information, contact your cell phone 
service provider or refer to the owner's man- 
ual for your Wi-Fi device.
