the vehicle set-up to
suit
your personal driving

style.
For example, you might choose to combine
a more dynamic engine set-up with a lighter
steering response.
Description

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!

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

free system and the telephone functions conven­
iently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made
via the antenna of your mobile phone.
