Audi Connect emergency call

If you have a serious accident, an emergency call is made automatically.

The Audi connect emergency call can also be placed manually via a button.

The costs of calls and data connections from the vehicle are included in the price of the services. The services provided by Audi are available only within the range of the mobile phone network of the mobile phone provider chosen by Audi. In areas with insufficient GPS reception or outside the range of the particular mobile phone provider, some functions/services may not be able to send/receive data and may not be available or available only with limitations.
