(Audi tablet)
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with Audi tablet
You can control available sources in the vehicle
(such as the radio) using the Audi tablet and lis-
ten to them through the vehicle speakers or
headphones. You can also display vehicle infor-
mation (such as the next oil change service). The
Audi tablet also has applications and functions
that are not related to the vehicle.

ZA WARNING
— As the driver, do not allow usage of the Audi
tablet to distract you from driving, as this
could increase the risk of an accident. For
example, do not reach behind you while
driving to operate the Audi tablet.
— Children in rear-facing child safety seats in
the rear: remove the Audi tablet from the
backrest on the front seat to reduce the risk
of
injury. Read the instructions in the chap-
ter > page 91.
— The Audi tablet can only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary or when it is secure-
ly positioned in the designated holder in the
vehicle. Like all loose objects, it could be
thrown through the vehicle and cause seri-
ous injuries in a collision. If the Audi tablet
is not in the designated holder, it must al-
ways be securely stowed while driving.
— 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 86.
— The back of the Audi tablet can become hot
while charging. Pay attention to the housing
temperature, and be careful when removing
the Audi tablet from the holder.


@) Note
— Always follow the information found in >®
in General information on page 216.
— Protect the Audi tablet against prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight.
— Extremely high or low temperatures that
can occur inside vehicles may damage the
Audi tablet or impair its performance. Never
leave your Audi tablet in the vehicle in ex-
tremely high or low temperatures.
— Protect the Audi tablet from coming into
contact with any fluids.
G) Tips
— If the Audi tablet is used when the ignition
is switched off or outside of the range of the
MMI, then only the non-vehicle applications
and functions will be available.
— Vehicle settings are only possible through
the MMI.
— Please note that a Wi-Fi connection does
not automatically make it possible to use
the
Internet. For additional information,
see the chapter > page 216.
— The Audi tablet makes it possible to access
services from external providers. Permanent
availability cannot be guaranteed, because
that depends on the service provider.
— When playing online media sources, there
may be longer loading times or restrictions
on media playback, depending on the Inter-
net connection or the Wi-Fi usage (for ex-
ample, if there is intensive usage by multi-
ple devices on the hotspot, such as tablets
or laptops).
— The Audi tablet has an anti-theft protection
feature: it can only connect to the MMI of
the associated vehicle. Also, the Audi tablet
will be disabled if it has not been connected
to the MMI for longer than 30 days. To ena-
ble it again, connect the Audi tablet to the

than one person, including children, with a
single safety belt.
— Never allow children or infants to ride on an-
other person's lap and be belted into the
safety belt with them.
— Insert the belt buckle only in the belt latch
belonging to the corresponding seat, so that
the protective function is not impaired.
— To ensure the maximum protective function
of the safety belts, all vehicle passengers
must sit in the correct seating position
=> page 72.
— Check the condition of your vehicle’s safety
belts regularly. If you find damage to the
belt webbing, the belt connections, the re-
tractor, or the buckle, have the damaged
safety belt replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
— The safety belts must not be removed or
modified in any way. Do not attempt to re-
pair the safety belts yourself.
— Safety belts that are strained during an acci-
dent, and thus stretched, must be replaced
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized

Fig. 74 Safety belt positioning for pregnant women
Fastened safety belts only offer optimal protec-
tion during an accident and reduce the risk of se-
rious injury or death when they are positioned
correctly. Furthermore, the correct safety belt
position holds the vehicle occupant in place so
that a deployed airbag can provide maximum
protection. Therefore, always fasten the safety
belt and make sure it is positioned correctly
> fig. 73.
To ensure the safety belt is positioned correctly,
make sure of the following points:
— The lap portion of the safety belt must be locat-
ed across the lap.
— The shoulder portion of the safety belt must
rest over the center of the shoulder.
— The safety belt must always rest flat and se-
curely on the body.
For pregnant women, the safety belt must rest
evenly across the chest and as low and flat as
possible on the lap, so that no pressure is applied
to the lower abdomen. This should be done
throughout the entire pregnancy > fig. 74.

Z\ WARNING
Incorrect safety belt positioning can cause se-
rious injury in the event of an accident or dur-
ing sudden braking or driving maneuvers.
— Never drive with the backrest reclined ex-
tremely far. The more the backrest is tilted
back, the greater the risk of injury due to the
safety belt being routed incorrectly.
—The safety belt itself or a loose safety belt
can cause serious injuries if it shifts onto
soft areas of the body, such as the stomach.
—The shoulder portion of the safety belt must
lie over the center of the shoulder and
chest, and never under the arm, behind the
back, or across the neck or face.
—The lap portion of the safety belt must lie
across the lap and never over the stomach.
— The safety belt must lie flat and securely on
the upper part of the body and the lap.
—The belt webbing must not be pinched or
twisted, or rub against sharp edges.
— If the safety belt height is set incorrectly
and/or the safety belt is routed incorrectly,

Sitting correctly and safely


then the safety belt's protective function
will be impaired in the event of an accident.
Make sure the safety belt is at the right
height and is routed correctly for the pas-
senger using it.
—A safety belt that is too loose may lead to in-
juries during an accident, because your body
will move farther forward due to kinetic en-
ergy and will be stopped abruptly by the
belt.
— Heavily bulky, loose clothing (for example, a
coat over a sports jacket) may prevent the
seat and safety belts from functioning cor-
rectly.
— Do not position the safety belt over hard or
breakable objects (such as glasses, pens,
etc.).
— The lap belt portion of the safety belt must
sit as low as possible on the lap of pregnant
women and lie flat under the belly.
@) Note
Make sure that there are no hook-and-loop
fasteners or sharp objects such as zippers or
rivets on clothing in the area where the safety
belt is worn. Otherwise, the safety belt could
be damaged.

Additional safety belt functions
Belt retractor lock
The safety belts on the rear seats and on the
front passenger seat are equipped with a belt re-
tractor lock.
> If you secure a child safety seat with a safety
belt, the belt retractor lock on the safety belt
may need to be activated. Follow the instruc-
tions from the child safety seat manufacturer.
> When a vehicle passenger has fastened a safety
belt, the belt retractor lock should not be acti-
vated. If the belt retractor lock has been acti-
vated unexpectedly, deactivate it.
Deactivating or activating the belt retractor lock
=> page 94.
Safety belt retractor
The safety belts are equipped with an automatic
belt retractor. This automatic retractor allows the
safety belt to be pulled all the way out when the
belt is pulled slowly. However, the automatic re-
tractor locks during sudden braking maneuvers.
It also locks the belts when accelerating, driving
uphill, and driving around curves.
Belt force limiter
Safety belts with belt force limiters reduce the
force placed on the body by the safety belts dur-
ing a collision.
Safety belt pretensioners
Safety belts may be tightened with reversible
belt tensioners when you start driving and in cer-
tain driving situations. If the safety belt is too
loose, it will be tightened so that the belt will
rest closer to the body.
In some collisions, pyrotechnic belt tensioners
may secure the safety belts so that they cannot
loosen. This reduces forward movement by the
vehicle passengers.

ZA WARNING
The pyrotechnic system can only provide pro-
tection during one collision. If the pyrotechnic
belt tensioners deploy, the pretensioning sys-
tem must be replaced by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
G) Tips
Smoke may be released when pyrotechnic belt
tensioners deploy. This is not a sign of a vehi-
cle fire.
