event of faults or anomalies in the vehicLe data,
only these data are saved. As a rule, faults are
shown by the warning lamps in the instrument
cluster.
Data saved in the control units can only be read
and analysed with special equipment.
A qualified workshop is only able to recognise
and deal with faults by using the relevant saved
data.
Among other things, the saved data may
contain the following information:
- Data relating to the engine and the gearbox
-Speed
- Direction of travel
- Braking force
- Seat belt warning system data
The control units installed will not under any cir
cumstances record conversations in the vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicLe is not equipped with an event data
recorder.
In an event data recorder, information about the
vehicle is temporarily saved. In the event of an
accident, you can therefore obtain detaiLed infor
mation about the course of events. On vehicles
with an airbag system, accident-related data
such as impact speed, seat belt status, seat
posi
tions and trigger times can be saved. The exact
information saved depends on the manufacturer.
The installation of an event data recorder is sub
ject to the agreement of the vehicle's owner. This
process is governed by legislation in some coun
tries.
Reprogramming control units
All data for controlling components are saved in
the control units. Some convenience features,
such as one-touch signalling, single door unlock
ing and display messages can be reprogrammed
using special workshop equipment. If any
con
venience features are reprogrammed, the infor
mation in this Owner's Manual will no longer be
accurate for the features that have been
changed.
We recommend having the reprogram
ming approved.
Your Audi dealer will be able to provide you with
information about possibLe reprogramming op
tions.
Event memory
There is a diagnostic connection for reading out
the event memory Located in the
footweLL
on the
driver's side of the vehicle. Information regard
ing the operation and status of the vehicle's elec
tronic control units is stored in the event memo
ry. The event memory should only be read out
and erased by
a
qualified workshop.
A WARNING
The diagnostic connection must not be used
for other purposes. Incorrect use can cause
malfunctions - risk of accident!
