Audi Multimedia Interface (MMI)® Overview

The Audi MMI is an integral operating concept for the logically simple and intuitive operation of fitted vehicle and infotainment components. The MMI consists essentially of two elements: the MMI terminal in the center console and the MMI display, a monochrome or color monitor in the dashboard. The central element of the MMI terminal is a control button that can be turned and pressed, with four control keys grouped around it. On either side of the terminal there are a total of eight function keys with which the main menus can be called up directly.

The main functions of the system - entertainment, communication, information and control of vehicle systems - are accessed using the eight permanently assigned function keys. Within the individual menus, the driver activates the required functions by turning/pressing the control button. It is intentional that not all settings can be altered in the MMI. Due to the importance of temperature settings for the passengers, for example, a separate control panel has been retained for the automatic air conditioning.

Adaptive Cruise Control

The adaptive cruise control (ACC) option monitors the distance between your vehicle and vehicles in front of you via radar sensors. When engaged, the feature automatically reduces and increases speed to maintain the safe preset distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. If there is no traffic ahead of you, the adaptive cruise control maintains your set speed.

Seating Environment

Drivers naturally connect with their Audi by the steering wheel and pedals, but the most personal contact comes from our technologically advanced seats. It's less a simple place to sit, and more a personalized connection to the vehicle. Nearly infinite adjustments can be made, from adjustability of the upper third of the backrest for better back support to variable lumbar support including a massage function. With safety in mind, you'll find electrically adjustable head restraints, electric belt height adjusters and crash-activated head restraints to prevent injuries to the neck. Intuitive controls are easily within reach and a unique memory system automatically changes every seat, wheel and mirror adjustment based on which key the driver is using. Different drivers can share the same car, and never have to make a single adjustment. Your connection to your vehicle has never been more natural.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is designed to continuously monitor your tire pressure to detect underinflated tires and by that avoiding hazards that may be encountered with underinflated tires. Properly inflated tires insure best fuel economy, best handling/ stopping capability and will also provide superior ride comfort for your Audi.

Parking System Advanced
with Rearview Camera

The parking system advanced with rearview camera makes parking and reversing easier by providing a real-time view of the rear parking area through the Multi-Media Interface® screen. As you turn the steering wheel, two orange lines will show you the predicted path of your vehicle. The system utilizes sensors to detect obstacles and uses intermittent audible tones to convey the distance to the driver.

Apple iPhone

Seamlessly synch up your Apple iPhone to your Audi via Bluetooth® connection or the optional Audi Music Interface. Use your iPhone as a telephone, including contacts and much more. Also set up your iPhone as an iPod to navigate through songs, playlists and more via the entertainment function.

Audi Side Assist

Audi side assist system monitors the blind spot areas to identify other vehicles located to the rear and sides.  If another vehicle is identified, Audi side assist informs the driver via LED lights in the exterior mirror.

Side assist is an optional feature on your vehicle. See us for details.
