names, construction zones, traffic flow, points of interest and other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi of America, Inc.
Complete detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not always possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies
between the mapping and the actual route to your destination. Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a
suggested MMI Navigation plus route.
