where there may be a risk of explosion. Re­
member that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling
stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities
or transport vehicles and other places where
fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking
pro­

pane or fuel vapours in vehicles or build­
ings) or large quantities of dust particles

(e.g.
from flour, wood or metal) could accu­
mulate in the air. This warning also applies
to all other places where you would normal­
ly switch off your engine.

Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
You have different options for making calls in
your vehicle via the MMI; this depends on your
vehicle's equipment and the features of your mo­
bile phone.
Handsfree operation
After connecting your mobile phone to the MMI
system via Bluetooth, you can operate the hands-
free system and the telephone functions conven­
iently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made
via the antenna of your mobile phone.
With the Audi phone box*, you can use the
vehi­

cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality

As part of Audi connect (infotainment)*, the Audi
phone box* includes a car telephone function
which can be used via a separate mini SIM card in
the SIM card reader* or an
rSAP-enabled
mobile

phone.
With the car telephone function, you can
use the vehicle's external aerial to make calls.
The use of the external aerial reduces radiation in
the vehicle and also ensures better reception
quality
