Online traffic information
Applies to: vehicles with navigation system and online traffic
information
The MMI can receive real-time online traffic infor-
mation about congestion, accidents, road
construction, and other incidents.

Internet > page 192, Audi connect. Traffic infor-
mation must be switched on in the MMI

G) Tips
— Having the online traffic information func-
tion switched on provides the most accurate
reports of traffic situations and traffic fore-
casting. Your vehicle transmits and process-
es its anonymous, encrypted position infor-
mation at regular intervals to the traffic da-
ta provider. You can switch off data transfer
at any time > page 305.

not available in all countries, and the cover-
age is not nationwide.
