What should I do if the printed Owner's Manual and digital Owner's Manual contain different information?

After a software update or digital supplement is published, the digital Owner's Manual contains the more up-to-date information and should be referred to if it differs from the printed manual.

How can I check whether a specific piece of equipment is fitted in my vehicle?

You can check by identifying if the vehicle body type applies and controls are present, attempting to operate functions via the MMI or instrument cluster, finding the equipment in the myAudi app vehicle details, or reviewing the equipment list in your sales contract.

What are the different ways to access the digital Owner's Manual?

Depending on the country, you may access the digital Owner's Manual via myAudi on your mobile device or through the infotainment system in the vehicle. For myAudi access, you must have a myAudi account and have added your vehicle to it.

Is it safe to use the digital Owner's Manual while driving?

No. The manual states as a WARNING that you should only use the digital Owner's Manual when the vehicle is safely parked, as otherwise there is the risk of an accident.

Why does the Owner's Manual describe equipment that may not be fitted in my vehicle?

The Owner's Manual is not specific to your vehicle; it includes descriptions of all standard, country-specific, and optional equipment available for the entire model series. Some described equipment and functions may not be fitted in your vehicle, may be introduced at a later date, or may only be available in specific markets.

What warning about child restraint systems does the manual emphasize?

Audi recommends reading important safety information about the use of child restraint systems on the front passenger's seat on page 80.

Who is the manufacturer of this vehicle?

What should I do when a red warning lamp appears on my dashboard?

Note the information displayed in the instrument cluster. Some warning lamps may be accompanied by a driver message and warning tone. You can view driver messages again by opening the notification centre on the centre display.

Which warning lamps are displayed in red versus yellow?

Red warning lamps indicate critical issues such as seat belt, brake system, drive system, parking brake, suspension, steering, and assistance system faults. Yellow indicator lamps indicate less critical issues such as bulb monitor, lighting controls, drive system warnings, and parking system faults.

Do all warning lamps appear on every Q6 e-tron model?

No. The equipment installed on your vehicle determines which warning and indicator lamps are shown. Some items listed are only fitted on certain models or are optional extras.

What does the high-voltage battery range warning lamp mean?

The high-voltage battery range indicator lamp signals that the battery charge level is low. This is a yellow indicator lamp relating to the high-voltage electrical system and charge system.

How can I find detailed information about a specific warning lamp?

Each warning lamp listing in the overview includes page references (marked as ð page XX) that direct you to more detailed information about that particular system or warning condition in the manual.

Frequently asked questions(12)

What should I do if the printed Owner's Manual and digital Owner's Manual contain different information?: After a software update or digital supplement is published, the digital Owner's Manual contains the more up-to-date information and should be referred to if it differs from the printed manual.
How can I check whether a specific piece of equipment is fitted in my vehicle?: You can check by identifying if the vehicle body type applies and controls are present, attempting to operate functions via the MMI or instrument cluster, finding the equipment in the myAudi app vehicle details, or reviewing the equipment list in your sales contract.
What are the different ways to access the digital Owner's Manual?: Depending on the country, you may access the digital Owner's Manual via myAudi on your mobile device or through the infotainment system in the vehicle. For myAudi access, you must have a myAudi account and have added your vehicle to it.
Is it safe to use the digital Owner's Manual while driving?: No. The manual states as a WARNING that you should only use the digital Owner's Manual when the vehicle is safely parked, as otherwise there is the risk of an accident.
Why does the Owner's Manual describe equipment that may not be fitted in my vehicle?: The Owner's Manual is not specific to your vehicle; it includes descriptions of all standard, country-specific, and optional equipment available for the entire model series. Some described equipment and functions may not be fitted in your vehicle, may be introduced at a later date, or may only be available in specific markets.
What warning about child restraint systems does the manual emphasize?: Audi recommends reading important safety information about the use of child restraint systems on the front passenger's seat on page 80.
Who is the manufacturer of this vehicle?: AUDI AG, Auto-Union-Straße 1, 85057 Ingolstadt, Germany. The manual is copyright 2025 AUDI AG.
What should I do when a red warning lamp appears on my dashboard?: Note the information displayed in the instrument cluster. Some warning lamps may be accompanied by a driver message and warning tone. You can view driver messages again by opening the notification centre on the centre display.
Which warning lamps are displayed in red versus yellow?: Red warning lamps indicate critical issues such as seat belt, brake system, drive system, parking brake, suspension, steering, and assistance system faults. Yellow indicator lamps indicate less critical issues such as bulb monitor, lighting controls, drive system warnings, and parking system faults.
Do all warning lamps appear on every Q6 e-tron model?: No. The equipment installed on your vehicle determines which warning and indicator lamps are shown. Some items listed are only fitted on certain models or are optional extras.
What does the high-voltage battery range warning lamp mean?: The high-voltage battery range indicator lamp signals that the battery charge level is low. This is a yellow indicator lamp relating to the high-voltage electrical system and charge system.
How can I find detailed information about a specific warning lamp?: Each warning lamp listing in the overview includes page references (marked as ð page XX) that direct you to more detailed information about that particular system or warning condition in the manual.
