extremely high or low temperatures. 
@ Tips 
— Always follow the information found in 
=> page 72. 
— When you switch the ignition off, the USB 
ports are still supplied with power until the 
energy management intervenes. 
— Do not use an additional adapter cable or 
USB extension cable to connect mobile devi- 
ces to the Audi music interface that already 
have a cable or that must be connected with 
a USB adapter cable (> page 184, fig. 134). 
Using an additional adapter or US extension 
cable may impair functionality. 
— Functionality is not guaranteed for mobile 
devices that do not conform to the USB 2.0 
specification. 
— USB hubs are not supported. 
— Video playback through the Audi music in- 
terface is not supported on Apple and MTP 
devices (such as smartphones). 
— iPod or iPhone malfunctions also affect the

vice in these situations. 
— Audi recommends updating the iPod or 
iPhone software to the latest version. Refer 
to your mobile device owner's manual for 
more information. 
— The USB adapter on the Audi music inter- 
face will support iPod touch or iPhone devi- 
ces from the 5th generation or newer with

and Tires 
General information 
> Check your tires regularly for 
damage (punctures, cuts, cracks 
and  bulges). Remove foreign ob- 
jects from the tire tread. 
>If driving over curbs or similar 
obstacles, drive slowly and ap- 
proach the curb at an angle. 
>Have faulty tires or rims re- 
placed immediately. 
>Protect your tires from oil, 
grease and fuel. 
>Mark tires before removing 
them so that the same running 
direction can be maintained if 
they are reinstalled. 
>Lay tires flat when storing  and 
store them in a cool, dry location 
with as little exposure to light as 
possible. 
  
AN WARNING 
—Never drive faster than the 
maximum permitted speed for 
your tires. This could cause the 
tires to heat up too much. This 
increases the risk of an  acci- 
dent because it can cause the 
tire to burst. 
      
216 
  
  
—Always adapt your driving to 
the road and traffic condi- 
tions. Drive carefully and re- 
duce your speed on icy or slip- 
pery roads. Even winter tires 
can lose traction on black ice. 
  
() Note 
—Please note that summer and 
winter tires are designed for 
the conditions that are typical 
in those seasons. Audi recom- 
mends using winter tires dur- 
ing the winter months. Low 
temperatures significantly de- 
crease the elasticity of summ- 
er tires, which affects traction 
and braking ability. If summer 
tires are used in very cold tem- 
peratures, cracks can form on 
the tread bars, resulting in 
permanent tire damage that 
can cause loud driving noise 
and unbalanced tires. 
—Burnished, polished or 
chromed rims must not be 
used in winter driving condi- 
tions. The surface of the rims 
does not have sufficient corro- 
sion protection for this and 
could be permanently dam- 
aged by road salt or similar 
substances.
