Default Quattro California Smog check rules?

Hello all,
Just received shipment of a 2012 Audi A6, 3.0T Quattro. Car shipped from Maryland to California, and has underhood stickers saying following:
"This vehicle is equppped with a permanent all-wheel drive system and is exempt from I/M Testing on two-wheel drive dynamomenters"

Second tag reads:
"Conforms to regulations 2012 MY, California: Ulev II PC, OBD: CA II.

Thisis my first Quattro/Audi. Does Californai require a 4-wheel dyno smog or does the "exempt" mean I can smog at any test only without having to do roller exhaust readings?

Thank you in advance.

AWD vehicles undergo a two-speed idle test instead of putting them on the two-wheel dyno. You can take it to any smog test station.
