Data privacy 
Image recording 
Surrounding area monitoring 
Applies to: vehicles with surrounding area observation system 
Some vehicle functions require the vehicle’s path 
to be detected and evaluated. This is done by 
cameras installed permanently on the vehicle 
that detect objects in the vehicle's surroundings 
(such as obstacles or guard rails). The live images 
from the cameras are transmitted to the applica- 
ble control module. 
The camera images are transmitted to the appli- 
cable control module and stored for processing. 
The control module analyzes the current camera 
image using image evaluation software. This im- 
age evaluation software detects anonymized 
technical measurements, such as distances to ob- 
jects. The control module evaluates these techni- 
cal measurements and makes it possible for the 
assist systems to control the vehicle, if necessary.

Fig. 170 Driver side footwell: connection port for the On 
Board Diagnostic System (OBD) 
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic control 
modules for various vehicle systems such as the 
airbags. These vehicle control modules store data 
while driving normally that is required by  an au- 
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service 
Facility for diagnosis and repair purposes. Only 
certain types of data are recorded for a very short 
period of time if a control module has detected a 
system event. No noises, conversations, or im- 
ages will be recorded in the vehicle. 
The data may include information such as the ve- 
hicle speed, the direction of travel, and informa- 
tion about the brake system, or also the behavior 
of the restraint system in the event of an  acci- 
dent. The stored data can be exported and down- 
loaded with special devices, which must be con- 
nected directly to the vehicle. 
On Board Diagnostic System (OBD) 
There is a diagnostic connector socket in the driv- 
er's side footwell to read out the various control 
modules and the event data recorder. Data re- 
garding the function and condition of the elec- 
tronic control modules is stored in the event 
memory. Only have an authorized Audi dealer or 
authorized Audi Service Facility read out and de- 
lete the event memory. 
  
ZX WARNING 
— Incorrect use of the connection port for the 
On-Board Diagnostic System can cause mal- 
functions, which can then result in accidents 
and serious injuries. 
— Only allow an authorized Audi dealer or au- 
thorized Audi Service Facility to read out  the 
engine data.

Event Data Recorder 
      
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Re- 
corder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to 
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa- 
tions, 
such as an airbag deployment or hitting a 
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand- 
ing how a vehicle's system performed. The EDR is 
designed to record data related to vehicle dynam- 
ics and safety systems for a short period of time, 
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehi- 
cle is designed to record such data as: 
— How various systems in your vehicle were oper- 
ating; 
— Whether or not  the driver and passenger safety 
belts were buckled/fastened; 
— How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the 
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, 
— How fast the vehicle was traveling.

Service information is available as soon as possi- 
ble after a model is introduced and can be or- 
dered in the Audi Literature Shop: http://

Driving in other 
countries 
Government regulations in the United States and 
Canada require motor vehicles to comply with 
emissions regulations and safety standards. 
Therefore, vehicles that were produced for the 
U.S. and Canadian markets are different from ve- 
hicles produced for other countries. 
If you plan to use your vehicle outside of the 
United States or Canada, it is possible that: 
— Fuel may have a significantly lower octane rat- 
ing. Unsuitable fuels can cause engine damage. 
— Proper maintenance and repair work may not 
be possible because special service equipment, 
tools, or measuring devices needed for your ve- 
hicle may not be available. 
258 
— Replacement parts may not always be availa- 
ble. 
— Navigation systems for vehicles built for the 
U.S.A. and Canada will not necessarily work in 
Europe, and may not work in other countries. 
() Note 
Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle re- 
sulting from these country-specific differen- 
ces. 
Maintenance, repairs, 
and technical modifi- 
cations 
Note the safety precautions > page 203, General 
information and > page 243, Raising the vehicle. 
General information 
Due to the increasing complexity of technology in 
these vehicles, as well as the safety and environ- 
mental standards that apply, you can only per- 
form a very limited amount of repairs and modifi- 
cations to the vehicle yourself. 
Proof of maintenance work may be required to 
submit a claim within the warranty period. 
We recommend that  you have your vehicle serv- 
iced by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized 
Audi Service Facility and that Audi Genuine Parts 
and Audi Genuine Accessories are used. This 
helps to ensure that your vehicle's functionality, 
performance, and safety are not impaired. 
Maintenance and repairs 
Your vehicle was designed to help keep mainte- 
nance requirements to a minimum. Some regular 
maintenance is required to help ensure that your 
vehicle runs in a safe, economical, and reliable 
manner. Please refer to your Warranty & Mainte- 
nance Booklet for more detailed information 
about vehicle maintenance. 
When operating the vehicle under more extreme 
operating conditions, for example when outside 
temperatures are very low or in very dusty envi- 
ronments, certain maintenance should be per- 
formed between the specified intervals.  

83A012721BA 
Accessories and technical changes 
  
Usually maintenance and repair work requires 
special tools, measuring devices, and other 
equipment that is available to trained vehicle 
technicians in order to help ensure that your vehi- 
cle and all of its systems operate correctly, relia- 
bly, and safely. Performing work on the vehicle 
incorrectly can impair the operation and reliabili- 
ty of your vehicle and may void one or more of 
your vehicle's warranties. 
Technical Modifications 
Interference with electronic components, their 
software, the wiring, and data transfer may cause 
malfunctions. Because of the way electronic com- 
ponents are interconnected, such malfunctions 
can also impair systems that are not directly in- 
volved. This means that you risk both a substan- 
tial reduction in the operational safety of your ve- 
hicle and increased wear of vehicle components. 
Some convenience functions, such as the conven- 
ience turn  signal function, individual door open- 
ing function, and displays, can be reprogrammed 
using special workshop equipment. If functions 
are reprogrammed, the information and descrip- 
tions about these functions in this Owner's Man- 
ual may no longer apply to the changed func- 
tions. Audi recommends that an authorized Audi 
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility perform 
and verify any reprogramming procedures. 
  
  
carry out the job and have the correct tech- 
nical information and the correct tools. 
— If you are uncertain about what to do, have 
the work performed by  an authorized Audi 
dealer, an authorized Audi Service Facility, 
or another qualified workshop. Serious per- 
sonal injury may result from improperly per- 
formed work. 
    
  
ZA WARNING 
Maintenance procedures, repairs, or technical 
modifications that are performed incorrectly 
increase the risk  of an accident and can lead 
to serious injuries. 
  
  
ZA WARNING 
The engine compartment in any motor vehicle 
is a potentially dangerous area and can cause 
serious personal injury. 
— Always use extreme caution when doing any 
work in the engine compartment. Always 
follow commonly accepted safety practices 
and use common sense. Never risk personal 
injury. 
— Never perform any work in the engine com- 
partment unless you know exactly how to 
      
@) Note 
— Maintenance procedures, repairs or techni- 
cal modifications that are performed incor- 
rectly can cause damage to the vehicle, such 
as corrosion. 
— If emergency repairs must be performed, 
take your vehicle to an authorized Audi deal- 
er  or authorized Audi Service Facility as soon 
as possible. 
— Audi is not liable for damage to the vehicle 
resulting from failure to comply with these 
guidelines. 
@) For the sake of the environment 
— Regular maintenance can help protect the 
environment. 
— Technical modifications to the vehicle can 
have a negative impact on fuel consumption 
and vehicle emissions. 
(@) For the sake of the environment 
Undeployed airbag modules and pretension- 
ers  are classified as Perchlorate Material - 
special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca. 
gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. When the 
vehicle or parts of the restraint system includ- 
ing airbag modules and safety belts with pre- 
tensioners are scrapped, all applicable laws 
and regulations must be observed. Your au- 
thorized Audi dealer is familiar with these re- 
quirements and we recommend that you have 
your dealer perform this service for you. 
G) Tips 
Because of your vehicle's aluminum body de- 
sign, all service and repair procedures affect- 
ing the body should be performed by an  au- 
thorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
