ZA WARNING
— Always follow the information found in > AA
in General information on page 194.
— Driver messages, text messages, and illumi-
nated warning and indicator lights in the ve-
hicle always take priority over information
from the Audi connect services. The infor-
mation displayed by the Audi connect serv-
ices should not cause you to take safety
risks. This can result in the vehicle breaking
down in traffic and to serious injuries or ac-
cidents.
@) Tips
— Accessing specific data or controlling func-
tions remotely depends on the charge level
of the vehicle battery. Therefore, these
functions only have limited availability after
switching off the ignition.
— An eSIM card establishes the Internet con-
nection for Audi connect vehicle control
services. The costs for this are included in
the price of Audi connect vehicle control
services. The cell phone network, for exam-
ple, must be available to use these services.

tions before you allow data to be trans-
mitted again.
