I took possession of a new 2017 A4 yesterday. When I arrived home. I couldn't find the owners manual (just a small and mostly useless quick reference Q&A). I called the dealer who claimed that they no longer provide a printed manual but rather it is available via the MMI.

This seems very odd and if true, extremely disappointing. (And if true, perhaps they should provide a manual to tell people how to access the manual on the MMI. have no idea.)

Is this for real?

Check the compartment to the left of the steering column, lower area of dash. It's hard to see, but it opens up and your manual should be in there.

I think that in this case, the person really didn't know. It wasn't the Audi dealer per se, but rather someone who works in corporate leasing for the "meta" dealership. They said they called their imports department and this is what they were told.


Well I will have a good look when I get back to my car later today.

Create a user account/login at myaudi once you have an account you will be able to get a download version of the quick start guide and/or you can provide your vin# & download a full version of the A4 Owners Guide.

Or you can skip all that and just go to the online manual site and enter your vin.

Thank you everyone! The manual was there, in the compartment as Dave W suggested.


Interestingly, the folks at audiusa.com thought it would be in the trunk. They even sent me pictures of exactly where in the trunk it would be...

And that's why we know more on the forums than anyone else.

Is that really a downloadable version (pdf) of the manual, or is it an online Flash version?

Online flash version. There is no way to download a manual. Registering and clicking on the link in myaudi takes you to the same page I linked. No registration is required to view the online manual.
