Users
(ee emul ela)
Applies to: vehicles with personalized user settings
Your vehicle can manage various users in the
MMI. Each user will be assigned the settings that
they last used.
Before you begin driving, you can select a user in
the MMI and load personalized Infotainment and
vehicle
settings.
Possible users in the MMI:
— myAudi user: as a myAudi user, you can use
Audi connect services that require a myAudi ac-
count. Certain settings are transferred online to
your myAudi account. If you log into your
myAudi account in another vehicle, you can
load your settings in the other vehicle.
— Local user: as a local user, you can only store
settings in the current vehicle. Your settings
cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Audi
connect services that can only be used with a
myAudi account will not be available.
— Guest: as a guest, you can store settings in the
vehicle without changing the settings for other
users. Audi recommends only using the guest
user temporarily, because settings can be over-
written by other users.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
options may be used to detect the active user so
that the user settings can be loaded automatical-
ly before you start driving.
— Vehicle key
Requirement: the driver's door has been opened.
The detected user must be shown in the MMI.
Confirm the user shown, select another user
= page 27, or add another user > page 27.

to reduce the risk of an accident.

(such as mirrors, last radio stations) may be
stored, depending on vehicle equipment.
You can find additional information in the

— Applies to: myAudi users: The stored set-
tings can only be transferred to vehicles
that are capable of receiving the transmit-
ted information. There may be restrictions
that prevent this, particularly in other coun-
tries.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The settings can
only be transferred and loaded when there
is coverage from the applicable mobile
phone service provider.

tion switched on: If the MMI displays a de-
tected user but you simply start driving or
wait without entering the 4-digit PIN, then
the guest user will be selected. Some set-
tings for the detected myAudi user will be
transferred to the guest user.

ZA WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, only use

and follow the guidelines provided in
=> page 18, Traffic safety information.
— It is only safe to use tablets, laptops, mobile

ous injuries. Store these types of devices se-
curely while driving. Also read the warnings
in the chapter > page 67.

©) Note
— The connection costs of Audi connect Info-
tainment services are included in the price

Please note that there may be additional
charges when using some services. For ex-
ample, this applies to online radio/

= page 173. 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.
This feature depends on the configuration
of your Wi-Fi device and operating system.
This could result in fees depending on your
mobile phone service provider, especially if
you are using this feature while abroad. A
flat rate data plan is strongly recommend-
ed. For more information, contact your mo-
bile phone service provider or refer to the
owner's manual for your Wi-Fi device.

for data protection, anti-virus protection,
and protection against loss of data on mo-
bile devices that are used, for example, to

spot.
