transmitted. In accidents where the control units
register that airbags have been triggered, a sig
nal can automatically be sent by the system. This
depends on the service provider. The signal can
only be sent in areas with sufficient mobile
phone coverage.
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 confirmed by an Audi workshop in the
"Workshop remarks" section of your Service
Schedule.
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-
114
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!
