Media
Media
Introduction
The MMI system includes various media drives
and provides various options for connecting
devi
ces.
For example, you can play audio/video* files
from the jukebox* or connect mobile devices to
the Audi music interface* and operate it via the
MMI.
Notes
General information
Media and format limitations: The MMI system
(including the SD card reader and the connection
for
the USB mass storage device*) has been tes
ted for use with many of the products and media
currently available on the market. However,
there may be some devices/media and audio/vid
eo*
files that are not supported or cannot be
played,
or the functionality may be limited under
certain circumstances.
Digital rights management: Please note that
copyright Law applies to audio/video* files.
The MMI media drives do not support DRM-pro-
tected files; these files are marked with the sym
bol S.
Data storage: Never store important data on SD
cards,
the jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
AUDI AC shall not accept any liability whatsoever
for
the loss of files and media.
Loading times: The more files, folders or play
lists are stored on a storage device, the longer it
will take to load the audio files/video* files. We
recommend using a storage device which
con
tains only audio/video* files. If
you
want to re
duce the time it takes to load the audio/video*
files,
you can create subfolders (e.g. for an artist
or album). The loading time will be extended ad
ditionally if
you
are importing data.
Metadata: Metadata stored on audio files (e.g.
artists, tracks, album covers) will be displayed
automatically when the files are played. If this
information is not stored on the relevant medi
um,
the MMI system will use the database of
metadata from Gracenote. Nevertheless, meta
data may not be displayed in some cases.
Restricted performance: If
you
experience re
stricted performance, reset the Media settings
to the factory defaults
^page
256.
If
you
experience restricted performance from
the Jukebox*, reset it to the factory settings

CD/DVD mode
CD/DVD and format limitations: In view of the
variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in memo
ry capacities, the functionality may be restricted
in the case of some storage devices. Under cer
tain circumstances, audio CDs/video DVDs that
are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs that do not com
ply with the standard audio format, and multi-
session CDs cannot be played at all, or the func
tionality may be limited. We recommend always
finalising the burning process when creating
multisession
CDs. Multisession is not supported
for DVDs.
Handling CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD
drive:
To ensure perfect, high-quality playback
and avoid scanning errors or damage to the me
dia drive, always store CDs/DVDs in a suitable
case and do not expose them to direct sunlight.
Do not use:
- Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs
- Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm)
- Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)
- CDs/DVDs with stickers
- Protective rings
- Cleaning discs

The head restraints must be adjusted properly to
provide maximum protection.
•
Adjust the front head restraints so that the top
of the head restraint is level with the top of
your head. If this is not possibLe, try to adjust
the head restraint as near as possibLe to this
position.
•
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats,
pull
the head restraints on the occupied seats
all the way up
^>page

For more information on how to adjust the head
restraints, see
^page

A WARNING
- Travelling with the head restraints removed
or incorrectly adjusted increases the risk of
severe injuries.
- Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also
increase the risk of injury during sudden or
unexpected braking or other manoeuvres.
Examples of incorrect seating positions
Occupants can suffer
severe
or fatal injuries if
they sit in an incorrect position while the vehicle
is moving.
Seat belts can only provide maximum protection
if the belt webbing is positioned correctly. Sitting
out of position greatly reduces the effectiveness
of the seat belts and increases the risk of injury
since the belt webbing is not worn in the position
for which it is designed. The driver is responsible
for the safety of all vehicle occupants, especially
for children.
•
Never allow anyone to sit out of position while
the vehicle is moving
•=>
A..
The following list shows just some examples of
incorrect sitting positions which can be danger
ous to all occupants. The List is not complete, but
will help to make you aware of possible dangers
which can be avoided.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
- Never stand up in the vehicle.
- Never stand on the seats.
- Never kneel on the seats.
- Never travel with the backrest reclined too far.
- Never lean against the dash panel.
- Never lie down on the rear seat.
- Never sit on the front edge of
a
seat.
- Never sit sideways.
- Never lean out of the window.
- Never put your feet out of the window.
- Never put your feet on the dash panel.
- Never put your feet on the seat cushion.
- Never ride in the footwell.
- Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat
belt.
- Never climb into the luggage compartment.
WARNING
Sitting out of position increases the risk of se
vere injuries.
- Sitting out of position exposes the occu
pants to potentially fatal injuries if, for in
stance, the airbags inflate and strike an oc
cupant who is not seated in one of the prop
er positions.
- Before starting a trip, sit in the correct
posi
tion and stay in this position as Long as the
vehicle is moving. Before every trip, make
sure all passengers are sitting in the correct
positions and remain correctly seated at all
times

Child seats
Safety notes for using child seats
To
reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an
ac
cident, children must always use child restraint
systems when travelling in the car.
Please note the information in this Owner's
Man
ual when installing and using child seats. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions and observe any
statutory requirements.
For safety reasons, we recommend that child
seats be installed on the rear seats. You should
only use a child seat on the front passenger seat
in exceptional circumstances. •
267

Safe driving
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children trav
elling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.50 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicLe if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal injuries to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position
^>page
277. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the front passenger's
seat and the airbag system is triggered in an
accident. This incorrect sitting position can
result in serious or even fatal injury.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance in
front of the child sitting in the child seat. If
necessary, adjust the seat position and
backrest angle of the seat in front of the
child seat.
- If
you
are using a child seat on the front
passenger seat in which the child faces the
direction of
travel,
you should move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de
ployed.
- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac
tive.
If
you
have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no Longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Always replace the child seat with a new one
after an accident as damage not externally
visible may have occurred.
Child seat categories
Only
use
child restraint systems that are official
ly approved and suitable for the child.

Child restraint systems are regulated by Europe
an standards ECE
R
44 or ECE-R
129x).
Both
standards apply in parallel. An orange label is
normally attached to child seats which have been
tested in accordance with these standards. Infor
mation on weight categories, ISOFIX size class
and the approval category of the child seat can
be found on this Label.
Weight categories for child seats
- Child seats: categories 0 and 0+: Rearward-
facing carry cots are most appropriate for these
categories (up to 13 kg). Our recommendation:
Audi carry cot with optional ISOFIX base.
- Child seats: category 1: In this category (9 to
18 kg), rearward or forward-facing child seats
with an integrated seat belt system are most
appropriate. Rearward-facing child seats
should be used for as long as safely possible.
Our recommendation: Audi child seat with ISO-
FIX base.
- Child seats: categories 2 and 3: Child seats
with backrests used in conjunction with seat
belts are most appropriate for these categories
(15 to 36 kg). Our recommendation: Audi child
seat "youngster plus".
Approval categories for child seats
Child seats can have the approval categories
uni
versal,
semi-universal, vehicle-specific (all ac
cording to the ECE-R 44 standard) or
i-Size
(ac
cording to the ECE-R 129 standard).
- Universal: Child seats approved for the univer
sal category are suitable for installation in any
vehicle. A model list is not required. Universal
category child seats for ISOFIX anchorages
must be secured additionally by
a
top tether
strap.
- Semi-universal: Safety appliances requiring ad
ditional tests are required for securing a child
seat with semi-universal approval. Child seats
with semi-universal approval have a model list
which must include your vehicle.
-Vehicle-specific: Vehicle-specific approval re
quires that the child seat undergo a separate

The ECE-R 129 standard has not yet been implemented by
the national authorities in all countries.
dynamic test for each vehicle model. Child
seats with a vehicle-specific approval also have
a model List.
- i-Size: Child seats with
i-Size
approval must
comply with the installation and safety require
ments specified in the ECE-R 129 standard.
Your child seat manufacturer can inform you
which child seats with
i-Size
approval are ap
propriate for your vehicle.
A WARNING
- Rearward-facing child seats: Never install a
rearward-facing child seat on the front pas
senger's seat unless the front passenger's
airbag has been deactivated - this can result
in potentially fatal injuries to the
child.
If
you have no alternative but to let
a
child
travel on the front passenger's seat, the
front passenger's airbag must be deactiva
ted*
beforehand
^>page
288.
- Forward-facing child seats: The back of the
child seat should be flush with the backrest
of the vehicle seat. If the rear head restraint
obstructs you when installing the child seat,
adjust or remove it completely
^>page
59.
Install the head restraint again immediately
after removing the child seat. Adjust the
head restraint to the correct height for the
passenger. Travelling with the head re
straints removed or incorrectly adjusted in
creases the
risk
of severe injuries.
- Categories 2 and 3: The shoulder section of
the belt must be fitted across the centre of
the child's collar bone close to the torso. It
must never run against or across the neck.
The lap belt must be worn tightly across the
hips,
and not over the stomach or abdomen.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
- Wait for as long as possibLe before changing
up to the next child seat group.
